Now Following Friday

Call me crazy, but I vacuum everyday. I am constantly going through closets and filling bags for goodwill. And lists, I'm always making lists or filling out calendars and trying to stay organized. But, there are two times a year when I do major cleaning and literally go through the entire house and get rid of things we don't need. I truly feel that having too much clutter and junk in my home weighs down my spirit. After a good clean out I feel I can breathe again! There is one blog in particular I love getting tips and ideas on organization from:

New TV Obsession

Obsessed much? Why yes, I am. I have just come across an HGTV show called Fixer Upper. Texas power couple Chip and Joanna Gaines have been renovating homes for more than 12 years and have keen eye for finding homes with that southern charm potential. They just need a little help getting there. Clients are given an option of 3 different houses to choose from and once a decision has been made, The Gaines, get to work taking it from drab to fab! Not only do they have this fantastic T.V. show, but they also have a successful boutique, Magnolia Market, real estate company, Magnolia Realty, and Magnolia Villas, their very own homes. One more thing I absolutely adore about the Gaines family, they have FOUR children! Proof that mom's rock! You can be family oriented and successful. Even cuter, they let their kids come along and help them with the rehabs and decorating. Way to give them that warm, fuzzy feeling of accomplishment, when you finally get to stand back and admire what you have created, early on in life! So if you love family oriented design... Tune in tonight! New episodes are Thursdays 9pm/8pm Central and if you switch over to HGTV a couple of hours earlier (that is if your T.V. isn't permanently on this channel like mine is) you can even catch some of the previous episodes. You'll fall in love too, promise.
