Spring Cleaning...

Yes, we know that it is fall, but we really needed to clear out and go through everything that had ended up stockpiled in the "office". See, our office is really a second living room. The set up of our house has two long (and unfortunately rather narrow) living rooms then a very large kitchen/dining room. The front living room (where you enter through the front door) is what we dubbed our office. It is also where our daughter does her art, plays with play dough, and keeps various toys that she doesn't take to her room. The kids computer (they get the desktop) is in there, and then the shoes and coats, mittens and hats are there as well.

As you can imagine, we are all guilty of dropping things off in the office on our way in the door. These things can pile up so quickly if they are left to be "dealt with later". Well, Spring or not, later has arrived in our household. We pulled everything (including furniture) out of that room. We scrubbed the walls and shampooed the carpets. Then, we cleaned the windows. This was all yesterday. Today, we put everything back. Not where it had been, but where we think it will work better. We are hoping this will help both work and household run more smoothly.

Of course, now that we have done one room, it is only right that we do the rest of the house. Tomorrow there are appointments and meetings, so I am not sure what we will get done. I am hopeful that wihtin the next couple of weeks we will have at least the entire downstairs finished.

So, when I find the time I am working Adventures of Bear B. & Stone, and promoting Monster Beneath my Bed. But, our main point of focus is getting our house clean from top to bottom, or more accurately bottom to top as we started on the main floor.

Please bear with me as I will not be posting as often as I should and there probably won't be much information on the upcoming books. Don't forget, Monster Beneath my Bed is a great family Halloween read, and there is still time to order your copy to arrive before Halloween.

Loving this fall weather and cleaning out the house for a comfortable winter.
