Cleaning Time!

9:10 AM
I am about to clean this house from top to bottom! Let's see how much I can get done in the next two hours!

1:20 PM
The upstairs is cleaned and I straightened up the garage. What's taking so long of course is the boys. DH is outside mulching. They spent some time out there helping Daddy and got so dirty we cleaned out the wading pool and put them in it to rinse them off. They will still need a good bath tonight.

I'm taking a break before I tackle the downstairs. This is definitely a Crisis Cleaning, but it's OK. We've all had such a busy week, I haven't had time to walk around in the evening putting everyone's stuff back where it belongs. Everyone in this house (other than me of course) has a habit of just leaving things where ever they put them and then no one can find anything later, LOL. I'm taking a break with some coffee and I'll catch up on some blog reading and then finish this job!

Hi Heather! Good luck with the rest of your cleaning today. I should be doing the same thing, my house is trashed! But I'm just too exhausted - maybe tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on my Monday post over at The Motivation Station this week. Have a great weekend :-)

All the best with tomorrow. Hope you get all the cleaning and tidying up done in time.

Remember, if people ask if they can help, say "YES, sure!" :)

Hi Heather! Your family is beautiful. I can't believe how much your boys have grown. I remember following your pregnancy and now you have toddlers:] Hope your house cleaning was a success!

I can't believe the boys are two already! Where does time go?

I must confess, one of the really great things about my husband being a stay-at-home dad is that he has taken over all house cleaning duties. He does a really good job, too. It is such a treat for me! I don't miss the days of struggling to manage the house AND baby AND work!!

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...
