It's Thursday evening and my week is just getting started. Sunday evening I came down with either a horrible stomacch virus or a serious case of food poisoning. Either way, I have not been myself for four days. I am just now becoming hydrated again and feel like I have missed an entire week. The house is a mess, I haven't been able to cook, and I've got some serious catching up to do. Even though I mostly had the drapes closed for this entire week, I couldn't help but notice the graces of spring all around.

Now that I am starting to feel better, I have an urgency to get a jump on my spring cleaning. Since we have baby coming soon and the budget is stretched thin, I will have to put my decorating ideas on hold and focus on organizing and tidying to make our home feel cozy and new. I will try to tackle at least one job a day, and will try not to bore you with too much. Tomorrow I will clean and organize the bathroom. I figure I might as well start with the worst! Wish me luck.
