52 Weeks of Happiness Week 37

A clean closet.

I have REALLY put off changing my closet over to cold weather clothes this year. And I just am HORRIBLE at putting away clean clothes. Laundry? No problem. Folding? I got it covered. But I hate putting away laundry!

Well, mother-in-law took our sweet toddler for most of the weekend and hubby and I have come leaps and bounds in the past 4 hours. He's cleaning out a back room to make into a play room, and I'm working on the tragedy that is my closet.

I wish I had a before shot, but this actually is pretty good for me:



Procrastination leads to dread, and I have procrastinated on this for over a month. So finally, hours of work are OVER and I have a nice, winter-ready closet!

Someday I will have a big enough closet that I won't have to go through all this. :)

52 Weeks of Happiness Week 31

This week, I thought I'd post something that happens every week that makes me feel wonderful.

We have a small house, and it gets messed up pretty easily. A toddler can take a toll on a house, and even with part time work, I can't keep it straight.

So we have a little weekly present we give ourselves. A housekeeper. This is what our son's area looks like most of the time...



Messed up books, toys strewn everywhere.

But for a few moments in each week, it looks like this.



I love those few moments!
