Good morning my friends. I’m getting an early start this week. Seems like my 14 hour days are just not enough to get it all done! I hope you had wonderful weekends. We had wind and rain and I loved it! I had plenty to keep me busy, so it was wonderful to watch out the window.
WEATHER OUTSIDE
We had tons of rain and wind over the weekend, but today is gorgeous! The rest of the week is supposed to be clear and nice also.

HOMEMAKING TIP
As you know we have been doing a ton of painting around here. A tip that REALLY works is to place a glass of vinegar in the room you are painting and it absorbs the paint fumes!
I know you have all seen this, but I’m actually doing it! Turn ALL your hangers backwards at the beginning of the year. At the end of the year, any hanger that is still backwards should be donated. I already filled 2 bags just hanging the clothes that had been in storage.
THINGS THAT ARE MAKING ME HAPPY

INSPIRATION
Be sure to link up with Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy homemaker Monday and with Laura at I’m an Organizing Junkie for Menu Plan Monday.
Thank you! Trust e I have had the crying moments and maybe a little whining, but I just need it done so life can move on!
LOL definitely more than originally agreed to but this too shall pass and we will move forward!
Things are moving along pretty well. WE WILL BE IN OUR BEDROOM BY SATURDAY! I'm so excited! Then on Monday I can get the spare bedroom painted before Carlie gets here Thursday!
So nice to feel cozy inside when weather is raging outside, isn't it? 😉 Things keep looking like they're going along pretty darn great around there Lady! Keep up the great work!! Loving that closet – and I bet that does feel good. Love your inspiration too. So true.
Blessings on your week. xoxo
Goodness you have a lot going on, I'm tired just reading your to do lists lol Have a great week Tamy 🙂
You are so industrious! I would have surely keeled over, crying and whining by now!!!! A closet never looked so good, I bet! Enjoy your week, Tamy!
