I know it looks like alot to do, but the reward for this hard work is a well organized, well maintained home. Since my handy hubby loves to help out it makes much of this list go by in a breeze. If some of the list bleeds over into May, that's okay, after all it is my list, my goals and my plan. The only one holding me accountable to finish is your's truly. One thing I refuse to do is allow my list to get in the way of time with my guys, they are my first priority.
So bring on the rain of projects and the mayheim, I'm ready!
Blessings!
