Fly Lady is right.

We really can see the results of de cluttering. I am noticing more and more how much easier the house work and routine is without any excess around. I have got my routines for our bedroom, the lounge/dining room and kitchen down pat now. Our room takes about 15 minutes, the lounge/dining room about 20 and the kitchen around 30 minutes.

I won't be blogging for a couple of days. We are going to the beach for a couple of days. Tom will have his 8th birthday while we are gone so I will have lots to post about when we get back. While we are away I intend to write up my new mothers rule and my control journal. Hopefully it will help me get everything done that I need to get done.

Happy 8th birthday to Tom! Eight is a wonderful age for a boy. Sort of that cute inbetween time from little child to young man. Have a nice time at the beach...I was thinking about going yesterday, but we never made it. Now it's cold again.

Good for you, dearest Therese!

Just want to say THANK YOU once again for your inspiration on decluttering!

And yes, such a beautiful picture of you and your family! I did wonder about your two older ones, but the older ones usually have their own agenda. I recognize that need too of my 2 lovely teens, Cy and CT.

God bless and love,
Easter:-)

good to know about the decluttering. I have been inspired by you and have decided to try Flylady's method myself. I feel that I can give it a go now.

Our sons Tom and Christopher and our daughter Amelia are type one diabetics. We pray everyday for a cure. We do not want one by illicit means though so don't support any organisation that contributes to Embryonic Stem Cell Research.
