This Little Piggy…

Tonight, Miranda and Tallen took a bath together. Nothing really special about that…  I heard a report after the bath.  It went something like this:
“Mama! Tallen learned This Little Piggy tonight!
Tallen, show Mama!”

“This little Piggy went to market,                         This little piggy stayed home.                              This little piggy had roast beef,                           This little piggy had none.                                 And this little piggy …had SOUP!!”

I laughed soooo hard!  I am so glad I have this blog to keep track of the hysterical things these young ones say. They sure make my day less dull and dreary.

1 for me and 2 for you…

I am attached to my stuff. I’ll admit it to anyone. I moved A LOT as a kid and the only thing that was constant was my “stuff.” But here’s the problem, my stuff is taking over the peacefulness of my home and replacing it with…yuck.  So, I am on a journey of sorts. I have read the books, the articles and now the blogs.  In fact…
I read a blog from the Happy Housewife and today’s issue talks about her near-triumph at decluttering her home with the 730/365 Challenge. Here’s a link to the original site at the finer things. I have decided – since I need to get rid of stuff anyway – to join in and challenge myself. 
I am going to try to live up to the challenge and get rid of 2 things each day. I’m hoping that I can stick with the whole “1 for me and 2 for you” thing.  I doubt it’ll go over with everyone in our home.  We’ll see.  I have 3 boxes of clothes and stuff in the garage ready to go to the Salvation Army…or maybe I’ll try the consignment shops in town first.  Tax write off or not, It’s always better to just get money now!
Amy (at amysfinerthings.com) is actually counting the items!  Very cool idea.  I’ll give that a try, then I can feel that sense of accomplishment along the way. I’ll keep you updated on my progress. I put a little "button" to take ya to the site if you want to go - and an ever UPDATED count.  Gotta get busy!

Awesome Giveaway!

Amanda, at the site I keep going on and on about, www.kevinandamanda.com, is doing a most fantastic giveaway along with Designerblogs.com!
