How are your Mondays?

Why is it that my Monday mornings are always so CRAZY? I have always hated Mondays and I wonder why, maybe because of this.......The house always seems to be a mess after the weekend, the kids are always crabby, errands need to be run, laundry galore and I never know where to start. So because of all this it just makes me want to go back to bed and cover my head. What are you Mondays like and what can i do to make myself not dread them so bad.......Happy Monday:(

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

I was up late last night finishing up some email, checking blogs, etc. and looked at the clock and thought to myself "you have got to get to bed" it was 11:30pm. I walked out of the office and saw to my surprise my cute little Gracie sitting on the stairs playing with barbies. She looked up at me with a cute smile and said"Mommy, do you want to play barbies?" How could I get mad at her and send her back to bed. So we played barbies until we both got tired. I put a load of laundry in and came back to this cute picture. This little girl just wanted to have fun!

Spring Cleaning

I have been in a major Spring cleaning mode this last week. Growing up we ALWAYS did a big Spring clean. I remember dreading it as a child. But, I would now like to thank my Mom for teaching me the importance of this BIG task. Don't think you can Spring clean in one day.....maybe one week! I can't believe all the garbage I have thrown away. What a great feeling it has been. I am still Spring cleaning as we blog:) today has been blinds, windows, until it started to rain. I don't know about you, but rainy weather makes me want to clean even more. Last weekend my dear friend came over and we did my entire kitchen, took everything out of cabinets and cleaned away, then reorganized everything. It is much more fun to do it with a friend. I owe her big time! Let's just say that I don't look at all like this lady when I clean, but I wonder what it would be like to wear heels and a dress. Hmm.....I will have to try that. NOT! Well I hope that this will motivate some of you to Spring clean and get rid of junk like me. It really does make a difference and feels good to get so much accomplished. So happy cleaning!

Blogging? What's that again?

Hello, hello I know that I have been HORRIBLE at blogging. I really feel like I have had NO time. I promise that I will update this week on what we have been up to. I am going to make my blog private so look for my invite. Email me and let me know if you would like to be on my list. We are all doing well here at the Allred household. We hope all is well for all of you! Happy Blogging!
