After straightening up the dining and reading areas, I'll tackle the living room. I wish it looked this good all of the time - LOL! That is my desk in the corner in front of the bookshelves ... see the open laptop?
Above is the living room ... i.e. where we watch TV. I'll be cleaning the coffee table and straightening up the video shelf next to the TV. I also sometimes need to straighten up the books in the shelves. The blanket on the back of the sofa is used to control the cat hair, too, so I'll be washing that weekly.
This is MY desk and where I blog! I try to keep it as clean as it is in this photo because I hate clutter around me. You can see my bill area on the left ... those need to be filed regularly. I keep my receipts for a year and then put them in a file to save for tax purposes.
In the corner opposite my desk are my knitting and crochet supplies. This area stays pretty clean!
I am happily married to my high school sweetheart, a mom to two wonderful teens, and a daughter of the King. My
current focus is on becoming a better homemaker and caretaker of my home and family. You'll usually find my nose
in a book and I am currently making my first quilt. I love making new friends and comments are always welcome!
I blog when I want to, have the time to do so or the inclination to share something! You'll have to check back often to see
when I update my blog because there is no set schedule for me to do so!

I have had several blogs since I began blogging in 2005.
These awards are for my OTHER blogs, not this one.
However, I am trying to keep them all in one place so am displaying them here!
