Making this House a Home

Vacation for my dear husband, costco and spring clean update.....

My wonderful husband is on vacation on this week.  The baby and I love having him around and to ourselves.  So what did he decide to do with his vacation today.  Help me spring clean our basement.  He is so wonderful!!!!!!  I am so lucky to have him.  We also went to Costco and got a membership.  As suggested by some members here we went ahead and purchased the membership that gives us the 2% discount.  I plan on doing my monthly shopping there from now on.  They have a way better selection on food then my local stores.  With the 2% discount it will be worth it considering how much we spend on food.  I really enjoyed my first experience there.  The best part was their seafood section.  Our local supermarkets have a horrible selection when it comes to fish and the times I did buy it I was very disappointed with the freshness...not the case with Costco.  Good price and fresh!  We went in and got just a select amount of things due to time contraint so I can't wait to go back and do a mega shopping trip.  I am due for one as I shop once a month for our groceries and that time is coming up.

I am also excited because my brother-in-law, for our combined birthday and anniversary, purchased a deep freezer for us.  I been wanting one for awhile so I was so excited. My dh birthday is the 4th our anniversary the 8th and my birthday the 18th.  My dh and I usually just purchase something that we really need for the house to celebrate.  Since my BIL already purchased what we were thinking of getting we are now considering a new mattress for our bed.  It is sorely needed.  When the little one is laying in bed with us he is usually rolling one way or the other because of the lumps LOL.

Here are the rooms I have to still to do for spring clean:

~Master Bedroom

~Master Closet

~My office

~Baby's Room

~wash wood floors in foyer

Have already completed: country kitchen, dining room, parlor, powder room, basement/gameroom, laundry room, spare room, hall bath, master bathroom

So I am over half way there :)

I hope to everything completed by the end of the week so I can give you a photo tour of the house.  Once spring clean is done I am hoping to implement my home management binder zone cleans to keep the house looking good.  For the 6 months after the baby's birth I just couldn't get myself motivated to clean.  But I am so happy to finally be reclaiming the house and making it feel like home again instead of a pigsty!! (Trust me it was that bad LOL)

Have a wonderful week everyone!!!

You will not regret the Costco membership. You are right, they do have great quality, and if you are ever displeased, you can return it no problem. I love Costco!
