Getting Organized
One of my New Year's goals was to get organized. After moving into a new home in January after a double move, things had really gotten into disarray around here. So for the past week I have been spending lots of time trying to finish the unfinished, as well as cleaning, unpacking (yes, after having lived here 6 months I'm still going through boxes and unpacking can you believe it?), and organizing.
I have to say it is a great feeling though. I can just feel more peace in my own life and that of my family too! Speaking of things we did today, I found this great couch on Craigs list, a sofa sleeper for only $25!!
It was advertised with a garage sale for tomorrow, there was no picture and all the stuff I had been seeing for weeks was just really outlandish looking and not my style at all. On a whim I emailed this gal and she emailed me a picture of the couch. I loved it! So we unloaded all the seats from our van and went to take a look at it. Yep, it was as good as it looked in the picture, actually even better!

We got it home and put it in our basement rec room. The kids already love having a sofa down there and it will come in handy when we host Laren's oldest Sister and her 7 kids later this month!
