Tackle It Tuesday

It is Tackle It Tuesday. I decided to tackle the kitchen and living room this week. I forgot to take before pics but I searched through some pics that I have to give you an idea.

And now after some hard work and finally convincing Prince Charming to take the deep freeze out of my kitchen, I love how bright and spacious and pretty my kitchen looks. Well as pretty as it can look with all my old furniture and stuff, but you get the idea.

And as for the living room, I put it back to the way it used to be. I figured that if Prince Charming didn't like it any better than the way it was before then I was going to put it back to the way I liked it. These are older pics but it looks almost the same, minus the clutter that is in these pics.




Here is one from today, still a little clutter. Little Princess's toy is on the couch. I know these couches don't match anything, and I don't like the wall color. But I am working on it one day at a time, one little bit of spare money at a time. Well the spare money that I don't spend on groceries. LOL:
Little Princess wanted to wear a dress to school today. Since she is only five and keeping her panties covered is more like a dream than even a suggestion of a possibility, I put a little pair of shorts underneath. She was so excited. "Take a picture of me watching my show mommy!" she called out. And I, ever with the camera close at hand, was happy to oblige.
