Spring Cleaning!

This is a topic and area that not many of us want to tackle! BUT...Angie and I find this is a must to address. We are having a garage sale (soon!) We have a 4 step method that will hopefully help and make this job easier. We are mostly talking about clutter. Get out 4 boxes, bags or containers and label them:
Trash
Give Away/Sell
Put Away
Storage

Trash - this should include any items you do not need or want. It might include broken items that are not able to be donated.

Give Away/Sell - This is where your garage sale items would come in. Be generous and think of items that other's can use.

Put Away - This should be your smallest category. These items may just be things laying around.

Storage - I know at our home, these might be seasonal clothing items. If other seasonal items, group like things together. Label your storage containers to make things easier next season.

Our youth group at church so so enjoys his humor. Tim attributes his gift for comedy to the lord. He is not just any comedian...he uses song to touch lives.

Spring Break

Time does so fly by! As you have probably noticed, Angie and I are both on spring break with our families. She headed south with her family and they are having a blast in a cabin! I headed north, mainly to visit with hubby's family. We have been able to find some frugal things to do with the kids tho. Bowling has been real easy to find deals on. The place we went today had all you can bowl for 6.95 each! Then, the kids finally got to see Avatar at a movie theater that was $3 per person. We brought a deck of cards and coloring books and crayons, etc. We have enjoyed using the pool and hot tub at our hotel also. Hope you all are having a wonderful spring break!
