Organization Needed

I am in need of a personal organizer. i am feeling overwheled with the mess in my house and I can't seem to get on top of it. I just can't seem the rigth place to start. I know I need to take it one room at a time, but what room do I start with and where in that room do I start. I just don't seem to have enough time or knowledge to of what to toss or keep. Sean has a hard time throwing things away and he just tells me to put it off to the side and he will go through it when he has a chance....problem is.....he NEVER has a chance.

I am going to pose a question for all you organized people out there....How do you stay organized and how can I go about starting on my way to being the organized person that I long to be?

Crazy Americans....

okay we just got back from shopping in Couer D'alene for the "Black Friday" sales phenomenon. In recent years I would only hear of the crazy antics that took place during their after Thanksgiving sales day. This year I actually was apart of it. My sisters and sister in law took to the road wednesday evening to travel to Idaho to take in the festivities. We took advatage of the deals on thursday even though many places were not open due to the Holidays but we still managed to score some sweet deals. However they were nothing and I mean NOTHING compared to the frenzy that took place Friday.

We were up at 2:30 friday morning and took to the stores we waited in line at Khol's for their 4am opening. Not finding what we were looking for we took to the road and headed into Spokane (luckily it was only 30 mins away) and stood in line at Toys 'R Us for their 5am opening to take advantage of their 50% off toys. We made out like bandits and I can see why there are all those crazy Americans out there who shop on this day. The deals are out of this world. We shopped from 4am to 6pm literally until we dropped and then got up Saturday morning to do it all over again. Although not so early and even though the deals were still awesome friday from 4-11 was where it was at. Needless to say the kids' Christmas shoppin gis DONE except for stocking stuffers.

Would I do it again? OH HELL YEAH!!!!! We've already made plans to head done next year. Only next year we will have a better idea of what to expect and we will be better prepared and know more of how the system works. We really need something like thins here in Canada. You really should see what I got for the money I took down. i can't even believe it and it's sitting here in my house.

I can't believe it's been four years

ENGAGEMENT PHOTO..ONE FROM OUR SHOOT..

WEDDING PHOTO


I can't believe that it has been 4 years today that Sean and I got married, and to show for it we have 2 beautifil children and I have 1 AWESOME step-child. There have been some rough patches but each rough patch brings growth and and deepens our love and respect for each other. I am just glad that the good times aout weigh the bad times. He is my best friend and my confidant and he brings out the best in me. I am glad that I took off the blinders when I did cuz who know where either of us would be if I hadn't.

Unfortunately we are not able to spend our anniversary together as I am heading off to do some Christmas shopping in the States with the girls. I just hope he doesn't get too lonely without me...hahaha who am I kiding..he's going to enjoy the peace and quiet while I am going to enjoy spending his hard earned money. YIPPEE!!! I am however going to surprise him with a night on the town when I get back so I guess he wins both ways. Lucky guy!!!

It's picture day.....

So it's picture day at Michaela's playschool, the first of many to come. I was excited to get her dressed for "the big day". I am looking forward to getting her pictures back, but in the meantime I took a couple of my own so I had some of her in the dress that mom and dad got her for her birthday, I got her the headband the other day cus she looked so darn cute in it. I think it was worth the money that I spent on it. Man she's growing up so fast and sometimes I wonder where my baby went to.
