Tackling Spring Cleaning

I can't believe that April is half over! I have been spring cleaning like a mad woman!! The painting project gave me the inspiration and the vacation gave the energy:-) Here is what I accomplished thus far:

  • Deep clean living room carpets

  • Organize daughter's craft table

  • Organize daughter's room

  • Launder bed linens

  • Flip Mattresses

  • Wash walls in bathroom

  • Launder bathroom linens

  • Clean Coffe Pot

  • Clean Oven

And now, I am exhausted!! But, I have just enough energy to show you the Taj Mahal of Barbie Closets:



Once the living room was painted, the Barbie Village needed to be relocated. We did some purging and came up with some space in her closet. Now, Barbie has a party house with a roof-top pool and a second story that is a garage/accesory room...that's right room. And the landing in between is the paper-clip float in closet. That's right...those babies are hanging there with paper clips. I am a McGyver Mommy! It will probably look like this for 2.5 seconds but it gave me great pleasure:-)
And now, I am going over to SITs for a Spring Fling:-)

    My Lord, Barbie gets her own bedroom! Nice organisation. I wish I had the energy! Greeting from Italy via BPOTW, where my post this week might explain a little about why I don't!! Back soon.
