Around the house.

Another reason I love spring?  The cleaning.  I'd think it strange how much I like spring cleaning but the other night, when I had some girlfriends over, it was all the talk so I know I am not alone.  That, or I have strange friends--but I don't think that's the case.  More likely, we all lead similar lives and the annual purge is very much welcomed.

The evening was so nice.  Some tea, girltalk, a new cookie recipe, some knitting...it was such a treat.

I need to write out the recipe for the keepers that filled my new cookie jar.  I picked it up to reward my severe editing of serviceware.  Perhaps that's why I like spring cleaning.  It gives me permission to buy pretty housewares because of newfound space.  Yes, that sounds about right.

This particular jar probably should have stayed put at the store, however.  It has done me no favors.  I think it's the cutest thing but it begs to be filled with freshly baked cookies.  And then the cookies call my name all day.  And night.  Not good.

I did a little work on my Aidez.  I should be done by the time it's too hot to wear wool. 

To wrap our knit night, one friend even brought over a new toy to give us paraffin treatments.  It felt fancy.                

It was a big change from how I usually spend my evenings--lately, my boys think that tackling me at bedtime is the funniest thing on earth.  It sort of is.

Speaking of tackling, tomorrow I tackle the garage!  And yes, I am so excited...

Purge! One of my most favorite activities - especially this time of year! FYI - I would fit right in with your friends!

Sometimes I am more ruthless than others - but any purge feels great!

Totally loved the pix of you and the kiddos playing. Brought a big smile!
