Spring Cleaning.....Urgh!

How the heck do you get anything done with kids? I have decided that being a mom is really hard. When it was just Addie, things were manageable. Two kids in toe, getting things done is impossible. Especially with Connor. He is named Mr. Mess. Somedays I feel like I am taking one step forward and Connor makes me take two steps back. Unfortunately I am queen of to do lists. I don't know why I insist on making lists for myself because it only makes me frustrated when the same things are on my list weeks at a time. I just keep moving them back....urgh!

So I have decided to spring clean my kitchen this month. This week I did manage to clean out my fridge, swept under all of my appliances and kitchen furniture, and wipe down the cupboards. It felt so so so so so so good to get that clean. It is amazing what a difference it makes. Sometimes as I clean, I feel like my sole is being scrubbed along with my stuff. Next week I am going to: cover the 70's tile on my back splash with contact paper (pictures to come), and wipe out and organize all of my cupboards and drawers. My modo for the month is...."a clean house means a happy woman." Wish me luck!
