Like this is going to keep me honest

Living room

Tess is away for the week -- I know, feel free to insert a GASP right there -- so what am I doing this morning? Certainly not cleaning up the mess she left behind. And that photo up there is AFTER clearing a path to the couch for E last night.

First, however, I'm updating my Creative Books page. I've got a hair appointment (yes, another gasp!) at 1:00 p.m. so I'll see how long it takes for me to update my booklog and THEN get started on the mess. I've got all week, after all.

In homage to Lynne's blog about her teenage son's room, I'm going to attempt to keep myself on track with The Big Clean. I have no one to blame but myself -- Tess is only 3. "Clean up time" is good for about 2 minutes of busy-ness for toddlers.


Play room

This girl has way too many toys. And clothes (I've spared you photos of her gleefully deconstructing her closet as we packed for Grandma and Grandpa's). Either Once Upon a Child or Children's Orchard is going to see me come bustin' in this week.
