mommy daughter time!Scrapbook

So my sister and I are determined to take some time out just to do something extra special with our girls.we got together so far we have crocheted,exercised and did some scrapbooking. Mini scrapbooks are great because you can use any left over crafts and it doesn't matter how many photos you have. You can have as little as 2 hence the word mini.You can do whatever you want and remember its about your little girl.Next I think a sweet treat would be good. My daughter loves to help me cook,so grab your oven mitts and lets head to the kitchen. My daughter and I will do muffins with homemade frosting. Sounds messy and fun.

crocheting with our daughters

Learning to crochet is a task my sister and I took on together. needless to say I havent really sat down long enough to see what I know. My sister however jumped right in and is on the road to making beautiful things. I kind of like it because now she can crochet me some things.I cant wait. We decided since we were trying to learn why not incorporate it into mommy daughter time.After all girls tend to want to do whatever mommys doing. Have fun!

Amy has definitely caught on.I will be expecting my scarf after my neice lol

Decluttering come to a close!

I am so glad that we did our decluttering challenge!!! I can say it really puts a smile on my face to see a real transformation in only 2 weeks! Like Lane, my daughter and I have really enjoyed this way of cleaning. The before and after pictures definitely
helped ;-)
This week we are moving on and changing focus. We are gonna cut out special mommy/daughter time. I greatly enjoy training up my daughter, knowing one day she will have these memories and will have ahome of her own to keep. Our first task will be to create a mini scrapbook together. Cut out 1 hour just for you and your girl. It is so special to have a daughter. Don't worry we have not left sons out. Their week is coming :-) ~Amy

next declutter any closet last day!

Wow weve been through a lot. Took you through a tour into our homes and I have to say it was well worth it. My husband compliments me everyday about how great the house looks. It makes me feel great to know soon there will not be any spots you have to hide. You know those spots that you casually leave out of the house tour lol. So the bathroom looks great onto the closet. I will be continueing this method of cleaning. My daughter now ask " mommy what dovwe need to clean today?" With excitment she rushes to help me with the task reminding me along the way to take pics .
have fun

Almost done with two week declutter

Its getting hot hot hot.... Wow just a couple weeks can really make a difference. I feel great and the decluttering is not even taking extra time like I thought.Everyone feels great ,the house looks great, MASTER BATH is next!

Wow a little extra elbow grease sure does make a big difference. I had my nephews over and they said Auntie" your pantrys already clean"?? After I tackled it they all said wow big difference. I love taking before and after pics you can really see the BIG DIFFERENCE. Now off to your choice of room or place. Amys choosing a schoolroom and I will grab spots in my room. Wish us luck!

Next room of choice!

Have fun

Decluterring Challenge Day 5

WOW!!!! Tomorrow is just Friday & I feel like we've already accomplished so much! I'm so exited that I'm FINALLY getting things done that I've been putting off. And taking pictures sure  does give one  sense of accomplishment :) 

Tomorrow's task is the fridge. Get that moldy food out & scrub the inside of that thing.

4 days into Decluttering house

ANY CLOSET OF CHOICE.

This is really motivating me to declutter my house. Its funny how it looks perfectly clean and organized until you redo it and look back at the pictures. My house never looked better and weve just begun. Also its flexible. Take today for instance my sister will be tackling her bedroom closet,I on the other hand will work out my utility closet seeing as that may need a bit more work. Remember even if it clean you can still organize.
Have fun!

New Sign (A great craft)

my sisters church was in need of a new sign for their childrens group. What better opportunity to get the kids involved. She grabbed her arts and crafts box and got on it. The old sign looks good but I believe (dont mind the prejudices due to she my sister) but the new sign looks better. Judge for yourselves.... below is the old sign

old sign

Now take  look at the new sign by the way she did a front and a back which is nifty cause it doesnt have to lean on anything.Also its nice to have 2 sides because you can see it from both directions. She allowed the children to dip in  those hands and get with it.Painting is great for children of all ages from 12 months and older. Have fun
