Time to grow up

Shocked at this page?  Me, too! 

I have always been a bit of a clutter girl.  When I started blogging, I loved the look of all the cutesy borders and pictures and trim some sites had--they made the pages seem cozy.  My house decor was similar in some ways--cute and cozy. 

But this year, as I've been going from room to room de-cluttering and reorganizing, I've found myself in search of more of a clean  (dare I say "adult?") look.  If you were to come to my house, you'd find that most of the pictures and wall decor which were removed for cleaning have not been returned to their places, but are still stashed under my bed and in the closet.  My rooms, whether they've already been repainted or are still awaiting a new shade, are a bit sparse. 

And I like it.  I like the look of open walls, of semi-empty rooms with wide spaces in between furnishings.  Like the idea of being unfinished with plenty of room left and time to decide. 

And I'm positive it has nothing to do with my turning 40 next month. 

So I knew I needed to do the same thing here.  Needed to de-clutter, to clean things up, to spend some time deciding what I wanted to highlight and what needed to go.  I've had a million things on my mind but little time to sit and write them out; new babies have a way of making that be the case!  But there are so many things I've found in the last week that I knew people would love that I didn't want to wait anymore, trying to keep them all straight in my head.  Plus, once I put something here, I know I can find it for myself!

Please bear with me, then, as this site goes under construction.  I'll try to make it worth it!
