"Common Ground": my little corner of the blogosphere where I talk (a lot-wink) about the things that matter most to me: My relationship with my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, homeschooling, adoption, homemaking, parenting, "spousing." (yeah, yeah....I know that's not a word.....I made it up-it’s my blog-I can do things like that! Ha!)

Since my life isn’t all that different from yours, hopefully we can find some COMMON GROUND & learn from each other. Please share your thoughts!

Through the Lords’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.

They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness!
Lam. 3: 22 & 23

Keepin' it Real...... (#2.....)

Now, this is what I *wish* my Family Room looked like at least once a day.....

well, at least the floor & the picked up look. I also wish the fire could be on, but it is super hard to light & get to stay lit (gas).
But, I had some time this afternoon to myself & I CLEANED!!! How crazy am I? All my house (except Dave's office & the kids' rooms) look this clean/picked up.

Ahhhh......
P.S. Linking up to Nora-because this TOTALLY clean house is certainly NEW for this year! (Ah, who am I trying to kid? It hasn't been this clean since well before Christmas! Ha!)

What a beautiful room. At first I thought it was a picture from a magazine. I say congratulations on getting everything cleaned in your house, I have that on my list perpetually :)

And thanks for your comments on my blog. That Guatemalan quilt is one of my favorite possessions. My MIL bought one too and just gave it to me so now we have two. I recently told my husband I would have to go back to get third since we have 3 kids...

Anne-I really wish I had picked up so many other things when we were there! A quilt is one thing....probably more clothes in bigger sizes, too.

I would give anything to have my family room look like yours once a day...once a week! Thanks for the meal info, I can't wait to check it out:) Have a great weekend.

I wish for that too. But with two little ones, I'm finding a clean house to be near impossible!! My two girlies love pulling out ALL the toys, at once. I keep thinking I should enjoy this stage just for what it is. It won't be long before they're off doing their own thing and I'll miss all those toys on the floor!!

All- Just to clarify-Our FR is almost NEVER that clean! Ha! I honestly can't remember the last time it was! When our 9 YO walked in she said, "WOW! This is REALLY clean!"

It'll probably be destroyed w/ in one hour today-but at least it was clean at one point. This is really just a practice run on keeping it clean for when we put our house on the market in a few weeks.

The room looks great. I love getting the house clean and feeling like everything is in it's place.
