I wish I had taken before shots. I really wish I had, however, if you have ever seen in my "forbidden closets" (all of them, including laundry room, pantry, and bedrooms) your mind is probabely scarred with the horrific mess and hoarding that went on!!!

Well, for the past month and a half I have been completely pre-occupied, busy, and obsessed with purging junk (treasures) and organizing my home!

I haven't done it alone though! My friends, Karen, Stephanie, and April all helped me out (ok- pretty much did it for me!) and out of love they informed me that I'd better get my butt in gear and get my home organized before baby comes!

Now, not that you care, but here are some finished pictures:

utensil drawer (ooooh! ahhh!!)

(this one snuck in there- Livi reading a book to Ryder, a boy a babysit. Too lazy to drag it down!!)

My new changing pad cover! LOVE IT!

my super dooper clean bedroom!

An organized pantry!! Watch out, Dan! Don't you DARE put things away in the wrong spots! (Shelves have since been labelled and I keep close watch)

Laundry room (looks nothing like this anymore, sad to say)

the starts of decorating the baby room!

I am trying out the possibility of cloth diapers this time round. Not sure why, other than to save money... and because these are just sooooo stinking cute!!!

bathroom- all spic and span...

Kids room- organized!

(you made it through the photos!! thanks for sticking this post out... had to brag about all the hard work! Just give me 45 minutes before stopping by so that I can quickly make my house look this clean and organized again! :)

Showering me with love!

My girlie-friends threw me a baby shower on the 25th floor of Karen's parent's place, downtown seattle. What a sweet view!!! We had it on the patio, and watched all the cruise ships dock! It was perfect!

(this is all I took- still waiting for pics from others)

July 4th weekend, Blakely Island

We went to the cabin on Blakely Island last weekend. Here are the kids on the way (not the way back-- but the way there!) getting rested for the big weekend!

I was even in my first ever 4th of July parade! (I'll have you know Liv sang "Oh Canada" during it!)

You can see the cabin across the runway behind the kids! Didn't even know that when I took the picture!
