Easter #2 and a bit of everything else

Here's a bit more of Easter. The pictures below are fuzzy because Sofie was so excited to see her Easter basket.

I loved giving Sofie her basket, it had gifts from all parts of the family. Grandpa and KK contributed as well as Gee. My contribution was some home made bows from this tutorial: Scrap-Busting Hair Bows

I got the fabric scraps from an antique store in Boulder Creek, CA. Here is their link: Mac's
Mac's sells items on consignment and one of their regular sellers always has some crafting mix bags in her corner. I got the fabric scraps from her and lots of embroidery floss too. I know Gee has bought button mix bags and yarn. I love going there and looking at everything, they have nooks and crannies, and they fill up the drawers with stuff too.

Here are the bows:

I've also been busy with the spring clean challenge. After the first 2 weeks I noticed it was easier to make a week schedule of all the things I needed to clean. Since I work full time it is easier to do what I can when I can. It's more flexible and I need that. The cleaning challenge has been pretty easy since some of the the cleaning tasks are tasks that we (B and I) do everyday. B and I try to get the house picked up and the dishes done everyday. I like to sweep the bathroom and kitchen everyday and B helps with the vacuuming everyday. Anyway week 4 started 5/1 so we are almost done!!

Here is what's left of the challenge (for me):

• Take trash out of cars and vacuum
• Spot clean the couch
• Go through dresser, organize and get rid of items I don't wear
• Dust all cieling fans and light fixtures and change out burned light bulbs
• Clean oven
• Clean mirrors and glass doors
• Quick bathroom clean
• Clean windows, blinds, and screens

Not too bad, I think B and I did really well.  My favorite part though is my morning routine, it really sets me up for a great day. Every piece of it is important too (except the litter box part).

B and I have started a major project outside that Sofie loves and we are so excited to share it with you. We started it on Earth Day so keep on the look out for our Earth Day + posting.

Here are some pictures of Sofie getting ready for bed, she's such a girlie girl! After we brush and floss her teeth we wash her face, and tone. She doesn't mind if the cottonball just has water.
