Spring Cleaning

While my mom was here, I got a new labeler (my old one died) and went to town. James helped me take everything out of the kitchen cabinets and then put it back neatly and then I labeled where everything goes. I love the way it looks. (This was done a lot like 5S, Mary!) This lead to cleaning out closets, so I decided back in February to have a garage sale. So, I started stacking stuff in our master bedroom that I wanted to sell. This included all of Emily's baby clothes, since we are done having babies. I had my garage sale a couple of weeks ago and made over $300!! I was so excited! My goal was $100. It was a cold, damp morning so the kids sold hot cocoa and Rice Krispie treats, as well as bottled water. James couldn't believe I was so successful. So, I just need to take the left overs to the Goodwill. There isn't much left, because at the very end, a lady came up and said "I'll take all the girl clothes you have left for $10." I thought for a minute and said, "How about $12?" Deal. It felt good to get rid of stuff and make some money.
Now, how am I going to spend it? Well, the original plan was to buy another full size bed, but then I decided that we should use at least some of it for food storage. Emily and I are going to have a girls' night out tonight, and then I'll save the rest.
