Time to Relax

I couldn't wait until Show and Tell Friday to show this off.

I was excited when I checked the mail today. I got a package.

Chrissy at Meaningful Days sent this to me. It is a gift I won for participating in her Spring Cleaning Challenge. Thank you Chrissy!! I love it. It smelled so good.

What is it?

It is a notebook, 3 pens, a Lemon Lavender candle and a pouch of Bath and Shower gel.
I think it is time to relax.

Monday- Spring Cleaning

I started my Spring Cleaning for the week. I made a list this morning and have marked off a few things. I sure feels good. I have enjoyed walking down my hall to the bathroom, they are clean!! It really feels good to not see dust bunnies lining the walls in the hall and it is nice to be able to see clearly in the bathroom mirrors. I thought for a second on taking a picture of my BIG dust bunnies but decided not to gross anyone out. hahaha

I also dusted the furniture in the living room again. It don't stay clean... :) It does need re dusting every now and then.

I re cleaned the school desk but we haven't done any school. I was planning on just doing memory verse, math and reading but haven't made it yet. ???

So, now all I have left on my cleaning list is to clean the front porch. It is always so cluttered.

Are you wondering about the kitchen? I was having a mental block there so I decided if I was going to get anything else done, I would have to return to the kitchen at a later day. For some reason I just couldn't make myself get it finished. I am feeling good about cleaning again. When you feel you can't go on in a paticular place, move on, it will still be there when you are ready to clean it. haha.

Show and Tell Friday

Kelli at Theres No Place Like Home is hosting Show and Tell Friday. Go see what everyone is showing off.

Here's mine:



This is an Avon perfume bottle that I got from my Grandma a LONG time ago. I was little girl then. I remember her giving it to me. I will always treasure it.
On the bottom it says Here's My Heart Cologne. 1 FL OZ

I just pulled the head/lid off and that is the first time I remember doing it since I got it. It sure smells good even though it's empty.

Wednesday Spring Cleaning Check In

Chrissy at Meaningful Day is host a spring cleaning challenge which I am slowly but surely working along with.

I am having a hard time keeping going. It is that "I really don't want to do this" attitude.
Today I have been cleaning the fridge while baking some Oatmeal Raisin cookies.

Tips for cleaning:

• Just Do it.
• Make a list of what you need to accomplish for that day. Check them off as you get it done. This way you can see your progress and it encourages you.

Now I need to go finish the fridge, and work on the Lazy Susan and I think I still have one more drawer to clean, no make that two.

Go visit at Meaningful Days and join in on the fun. haha

Message in a Dream

I awoke this morning from a dream. I thought I would share. I feel it is a message for someone. I have someone that came to mind as soon as I woke but I think others could use it...

I was going to a funeral. When I got there, the lady wasn't dead. She was in the coffin waiting to die. They had her funeral all planned. It was suppose to take place in a few hours.

I found myself talking to the woman. I told her that Jesus came to HEAL and to SAVE us. I remember saying that I have a hard time believing that I am healed etc. but then I told her, "...but stop laying there thinking about dying and start thinking about LIVING!"

A nurse came by at that time and shook her head at me. She was "telling" me to get back and let the lady die so they can have her funeral. I went and sit down.

Are you "in your coffin" waiting to die? This could be in the area of finances, healing, relationships etc.

Let's start living, let go of the dying mentality and look to God for your healings in every area.

WOW!!

Spring Cleaning Kitchen

For this week, I am still working on the kitchen. I got a lot done on Saturday and yesterday.

I got most of the glass cabinet cleaned. I still need to do the bottom shelf.

I cleaned and reorganized the pantry.

I cleaned the outside of the fridge, counting the top.
Still need to clean inside it.

I cleaned the tops of all the cabinets counting inside and the doors.

I have some of the drawers cleaned. I tackled the "stash all" drawer yesterday and it looks much better, more room for more stuff. LOL.

I still need to do the rest of the bottom cabinets. I think I cleaned one of them and that's all.

I also need to do under sink. I really dread this because it is a mess. I will get it done this week though. My husband needs it cleaned out anyway so he can fix my sprayer.

I need to clean the stove/oven too. I don't like doing the oven part. It is just hard since I don't like to use chemicals. I haven't found anything that really works well and fast. Too much scrubbing. I really should get a liner for the bottom and then it would be much easier.

So left to do this week:

Clean:
bottom cabinets
under sink
fridge
stove/oven
bottom shelf of glass cabinet
rest of the drawers (9 more)

I think that's all. I will move on to another room IF I get the kitchen done this week.

Wednesday Spring Cleaning

I have not done much on my cleaning this week. It has been busy with goats being born. We are milking and then there are babies to feed. I think today may be an off day for new babies but I have to take my little dog to the vet right after lunch.
I am going to try to get something done today. I have a hard time getting started if I don't start in the morning.
I am starting to work in my kitchen. Here was/is my list for the week.
