kira's room cleaned and organized

oh yes it is complete. It is one of those projects I do not look forward to doing but it needs to be done and I am so happy once it is done. It's the starting that is rough. 

I love my daughter. Really really love her. Honest. I cannot stand when things do not get put back where they came from. It's one thing when you get new stuff and it doesn't have a home- fine. Let's get it a home. It is a totally different thing when things that have homes cannot be put back in their homes. Seems simple to me. I think Kira just doesn't like putting her fun stuff away. More fun to have it all out and around her so she can see it. We'll have to disagree on this point.

Here's walking in her room. I turned her rug around hoping that it won't travel so much. We'll see. The pile of clothes on her bed are some jammies I need her to try on. I can't remember if they fit her or not.


Her desk all set for school to begin. Looking good. All her books are on the shelves where they should be and not tucked under her bed. I will be labeling all the bins. It's on my list to do today.


More stuffed animals. oh yes. The pink animal holder I picked up at IKEA. So happy I got one for each of the kiddos. They hold so much! I think they will both be happy with who I put in there.


Yes that is the top of the dresser that you see there. I know it has been missing for a few months now. Glad to have it back. I also put up her memo board that we won at the Mommy and Me Tea in May. I added a few of her friends pictures on there. Looking like a big girl lives here. In among the animals and Disney characters.


Hubby cleaned her carpet last night and I finished it up today. So happy that both rooms are all set for the kiddos to return. Now to run to Goodwill and get some stuff out to the loft and my family room will be all set.

project life weeks 25, 26 & 28

I had to print out one picture from each of the following three weeks to finish them up. Finally got around to doing that. Had a bit of help with a great deal from Snapfish... 300 prints for $3. Of course they get you with the shipping fees but it was still a good deal for me to catch up.




I am totally loving doing Project Life this year. When I did it in 2009, I got very far behind both in doing the journaling cards and printing pictures that I was discouraged. This year I am making an effort to keep up with things and it seems to be working well. I have gotten all the pictures printed and journaling done through October 31st. Pretty amazing!!


Gonna post some more weeks to share.

project life 2011- weeks 24, 27, 29 and 30

This is the post that is messed up a bit with the missing pictures on three weeks. Soon as those pictures get printed, I'll be good to go on posting them. The journaling blocks are done, waiting on pictures.

Week 24- Kira's friends party at Chuck E Cheese, silly kids, Alex's car seat that he got sick all over, DADDY HOME!! and a haircut for my little man.


Week 27- My Maine lilies from my twin Tania. New ceiling fan since our other one fried (lucky there wasn't a fire) My new bread machine as I over-used our old one. Grandma Clark's desk in Kira's clean room and new ice cream bowls for the kids. Can't go wrong with M&M bowls for a buck (or maybe it was $2) at Walmart. They are so cute!!


Week 29- Me visiting my twin Tania. Had the best time EVER!! Hanging out with the kids at Nana and Papa's. Visiting my forever bestie and her girls.


Week 30- Seeing the Pooh movie, photo shoot with the kiddos, my rose of sharon in the back yard. Needs a trim this year. Price of gas for me with my Stop and Shop gas rewards savings!! So happy!! Truck from my twin's neck of the woods and the farm stand where we get our corn.


So happy I am doing this project as I love looking back at all the silly pictures and how this year is going. Glad the family goes along with all the pictures I need to take to keep this current.

I'll post more next time I am here. Still working on Grandma Clark's desk in the garage. I should have only one more coat of stain to put on. It is looking so wonderful. I know she would be happy. I'm sure Kira will enjoy it as well.
