I know it doesn't feel much like spring yet but the fact remains that it is indeed spring time and if your like me this means its time to clean, clean, clean and purge, purge, purge! While this is NOT Nate's favorite thing to do, I usually try to clean out the cupboards, closets and garage once a year and get rid of the stuff we either didn't need or never even touched since the previous years purging extravaganza. This activity is exceedingly enjoyable and rewarding for me! (I can hear some of you groaning right now-heehee) This year I started with Nate's closet........seriously, how many t-shirts does one man need! I think I saw one from his 5th grade band in there!!! :) I wish I had taken a before picture to show you so you could see how he used plastic tubs to store his clothes! Anyways, here is my after shot which still gives me goose bumps when I see it in all its organized glory! Yes, the clothes are organized by color and I got rid of the plastic tubs!In adoption news, we will be having another fund raising garage sale this year. It will be May 10th and 11th at the Rothe's house again. That's just 3 weeks away so, if this has inspired you to do some cleaning and purging yourself and you find yourself with items you would like to donate somewhere please consider giving us a holler and we will come pick it up! Last year we raised $1000 entirely on donated items! It was such a blessing! Furniture and children's items went really well but we would be grateful for anything anyone would like to donate!
