You invigorate me: Mom Exhibit

See this? Ahhh. Clean and peaceful...until the kids wake up.

Last week, I spent 3 whole days cleaning the house. That's all I did—bathrooms, vacuuming, mopping, dusting, deep-cleaning the stove, you name it. And you know why?

Because people were coming to visit, of course.

The important thing is that I did it and I am proud of myself. I've been trying so hard to keep it up, though it seems like I'm going to lose pretty soon. I'm just glad I captured it in a photo, so I can remember this glorious, remarkable moment in my life.

Clean house, you invigorate me and I love you. "Hug, hug, kiss, kiss, hug, hug, big kiss, little hug, kiss, kiss, little kiss." -Nacho Libre

Yes

I need this...only in a different, not so Halloween-ish font.

We're going global!

EEK!! I'm so insanely excited and I haaaave to share the news with you. I might be published! I mean, published-published. I mean, bigger-than-the-college-newspaper published.

So, I'm a big news addict, checking for updates all day, every day. It just makes me feel connected to the rest of the world. My first stop is always the local news station, KSL.com. I search for local happenings, then country and world. Entertainment is a last resort, though I do love a good article about Princess Kate's wardrobe.
