Well, the itch to declutter and put things away, or even throw away has set in. It's been a month since we put up our Christmas decorations and believe me, I thought they were gorg this year, but I'm always ready to put it away and not have so much "stuff" out anymore. I still have alot of "stuff" out, just not as much.
It's a sunny and warm, almost 50* here in Iowa today and it feels like I need to begin my spring cleaning. I definitely need to do some major dusting! The decorations are almost completely down. Only the trees left for my husband to disassemble and pack away, and a few odds and ends that seem to have lost their home. I don't know how I need to get, yet, another tub to store decorations in when I got rid of quite a bit of stuff. I'm sure I didn't add THAT much this year.
As I look back at this previous year I realize how much we have accomplished as a family and myself personally. We became debt free, except our house, only 19 years left on that one. Thanks Dave Ramsey!! I became even more laid back as a parent. ( I guess four kids and 8 years of parenting will do that.) My husband and I actually agreed on things that we would like to accomplish with our house, MAJOR accomplishment!!!....and I have certainly been challenged by God. I think our entire family has. I always feel that its a good thing when I have a problem and I can actually feel God leading me through it with my thoughts and actions. It makes life so much easier.
So what do I want to do in 2011??? Well, I have a new cricut and dremel and would LOVE to put those to good use, we are planning on installing hardwood floors soon, painting rooms is definitely in my future and I am so excited to follow my favorite blogs and see what awesome ideas they come up with, that I can do. I love my diy girls!!!
Hope you are ringing in your new year with lots of joy!
