the at home chick: Cleaning Up and Out

And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:5-9

Cleaning Up and Out

John and I have been getting ready for our honk'n 3 family garage sale. We went up in the attic last night and went through all our stuff and pulled things down for the sale. I also have been cleaning out the house too. The stuff...oh my word.....the stuff you can pull out!!!! You never know how much junk you have until you start going through everything! The other two families that are having the sale with us haven't had a garage sale in forever. Our pastor and his wife haven't had a garage sale in 16 years! WOW! Joe and Kim said they haven't had one in years either. We had one two summers ago so we don't have near the stuff they do to sell. Hopefully after the sale all of our houses and garages will be cleaner and more organized. Life is simpler if stuff isn't in the way. Here's to organization! I have my own brand of organization. One of my dreams in life is to be super-duper organized. We'll see..

About "The Chick"

The title pretty much says it all. I'm a stay at home Mom (and a wanna be domestic, cook and fabulous baker, photographer, and crafty lady). I've always imagined staying home, but never thought I actually would or be able to. Home is my favorite place to be. I hope you enjoy reading about what goes on during my day, foods I cook, a Bible study I'm doing, or maybe something crafty that come to fruition (sometimes I amaze myself!). I'm a wife to an amazing man, mommy of two beautiful girls, a daughter, sister, friend, and the list goes on. I wear tons of hats, but my favorite hat to wear is being a "stay at home Mom", the at home chick.
