A Good Book and My Little Helper


I am a Dollar Tree junkee! I have to admit it now. I am also a cleaning fanatic (most of the time). These two crazy interests collided this month when I found this lovely book at the Dollar Tree! I love it. It has so many handy tips. I was worried about being bored over spring break, but I have had no such luck. When I don't have anything to do, I read a little of this book and head straight to work. This whole cleaning thing may sound absurd, but I love being able to sit down on the couch and relax knowing everything is clean and in its proper spot. That is my idea of stress free life. I can relax knowing the dishes are done, the floor is vacuumed, the laundry is done, etc. What a great feeling! I can't believe I got this book for only a $1. So Cool!!


One thing I have been meaning to do but just don't get around to is figuring out Connor's clothing situation. I have been planning on putting the 6-9 month clothes away and getting the 12 and 18 month clothes out and ready. Finally I was able to accomplish this goal (only thanks to Spring Break!). Here is a picture of the boxes I was packing and unpacking. If anyone needs good packing boxes, go to Walmart. They have boxes that are meant for apples and they are great. They are strong and sturdy with a top and bottom (lid) and no unusual holes! While I was packing the bottom of one box the lid was on the floor. I was paying no attention to Connor (that sounds bad! I knew he was playing w/ his toys, but I wasn't watching closely!). Anyways, when I looked over, I noticed that he was helping Mommy pack! Yikes! Cute, but just more for me to CLEAN! Good thing I like it! heehee

Don't those ladies have a show? I think I've seen it before. They're amazing! That's really cool that you got the book for a dollar, I love the dollar tree too! That picture of Connor "helping" is really cute! What a sweet little boy!

So I recently (as in last week) became a Dollar Tree convert. I LOVE it. And I am so going to watch for that book!

Those two ladies did have a show and they were so funny. I could not believe some of the houses they had to go and muck out....I mean clutter and dust are one thing but some of them were so gross with animal feces and gunk inches thick. But they were a hoot.
