Is Spring Really Here???

Spring has definitely taken its time arriving this year...

I have always dreaded cleaning, decluttering and trying to get my family involved.  This year has been a little different.  

My kids have got to be the "strangest" around, as soon as they realized we had these cleaning products, they were jumping in without me even asking them to help.  Some phrases that I have heard around the house are "If you finish the living room, you can use the Swiffer" and "NO, I want to clean that room"!!  

Can we say music to my ears!!  The scents that we have had wafting through the house have been tremendous and the joy at the fact that our house is staying clean, has taken me over!  I am not sure why I waited so long to have things like this in the house.  

Even Faith can help and loves using the Magic Eraser and the Duster.

Next year (or even throughout this summer) I plan on setting up a household notebook which will include regular daily, weekly and monthly jobs that I would love to see each member of the family participating in.  This way, it stays clean all the time and hopefully next spring, it will not be as big a job as it has been this year.

What tips and tricks, websites, checklists do you use when it comes to spring cleaning?

Happy Mothers Day!! How Do You Celebrate?

What better way to celebrate Mothers, then with an AMAZING Spa Package Giveaway!!

With this set, you will be able to pamper yourself at home, and trust me, as much as I like to get out for pampering, the realities of our lives don't always allow that to happen...

Today, I received cards, plants, fruit, pizza and lots of hugs and love from my kiddos.  We were able to spend some time at my parents to bring over a fruit bouquet that we bought from church for my mom.

It has been a nice day, and to be honest, I have enjoyed being home to spend the time with them.  Tomorrow though, I will have a quiet house...wait a minute...Tuesday I will have a quiet house, while they are all in school, and I think that it will be my time to pamper myself:-)

My family has fallen in love with the Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner products through this program, and I am always keeping my eyes and ears open for sales and coupons so I can stock up! With 6 heads to to be washed, we go through a LOT of hair products!!

I was also really excited to receive the candle.  With a dog, and 5 kids, it definitely is helpful to keep my house smelling like a relaxing place:-)
