A bug and a bean....

After getting back to reality and a semi clean house I am in the process of getting everything organized and a little above semi cleaned.
I am so excited about November! not only am I doing Family photo sessions I have a lot of cute little kids mixed in there with a few seniors. BUT aside from that I am in the process of cleaning out my office *GASP* and redecorating it so it is more functional for both photos and also filling those annoying bills.

My favorite thing this month will be going on a much needed family vacation. Oh sure I travel a lot but poor husband gets left behind and this time he actually gets to go!

that is all I got tired of writing so I will just say  good bye

Forgetfulness...

Would define me right now.
So for a quick update:
Organizing - has been going slow but I am actually getting a routine down. It's about time!
Sewing/Craft Projects - I have actually been making time to sew more. in the process of making a blanket for Bugs bed. almost finished too
Baking - since the summer is coming to an end I am really wanting to bake more so every Sunday I plan on making a new delicious goodie..
Photography - Sessions are booking and I am keeping busy with editing.

Looks like things are going a lot better then I thought they might have been.

Organizing..

I will only be posting weekly updates for the 30 day organizing count down. because as mush as I love writing about cleaning I have other things that are going to occupy my time this week.

I'm still cleaning though.. !!! go ME!!

1 down 29 to go...

This was the first day of organizing, and let me tell it did not go so well.

2 things:

First off I decided to make "count down" cards that is why the one above has a thirty on it instead of a 1. I think it is a bit discouraging what the number keeps going up.. (also I'm not a scrapbooker and thought I had to write the number backwards on the paper before i could cut them out, luckily i only did it for this one)

Second it's was just my luck that when I want to start a project I end up having everyone want something from me all at once.

The day started out normal enough.I was fortunate to be able to sleep in until 8 especially since I had a 2 year old kicking me in the back from about 5:45 am on. Breakfast was less of a mess then usual and I had actually planned to go to both the bank and the market before 10.

My plan of attack for the day was to clean for 15 mins in each room. this was my break down

-Dining area/Kitchen

-Living room/DS Bath/Hallway

-Upstairs Hallway/Laundry/ Guest bath

-Office

-Bug's Room

-Master Bedroom

-Master Bath/Closet

I also chose a few "Count Down" cards and wrote deep cleaning tasks on the back. that was a plus for today , my card didn't have a task.  

so in an ideal world and a almost perfect situation I would be able to pick up/scrub and declutter what I could in 15 mins. keeping in mind that I would still need to keep these room picked up during the day just not having to scrub them yet. 

I got half of the kitchen and a quarter of the living room done. My distraction was a toddler who was potty training. Which she did quite well at only had 2 accidents. A husband who kept calling while I had soap up to my elbows and also the cat killing a bird out my back door.. yuck.

blah blah blah, I made dinner, then headed out the door for a photo session.

go go go.. glad monday is over.
