A Clean View

Its amazing how productive and positive and energized I feel after organizing and cleaning up my surroundings. The babies are growing and are amazing little lovelies and with that comes a trail of toys, granola and sippy cups. My once calm and organized surroundings is cluttered and messy. The last few days I have been organizing - and am not done yet - but the difference in my personality and thought process is amazing!

Have you had a chance to organize your surroundings? I find I practice meditation & yoga more, am more creative, productive and have more energy with clean surroundings and smells. I keep lavender in every room for peace and keep incense or candles lit when possible. I keep my inspiring items at hand - like my yoga mat, books, and yarn. It makes for a wonderfully inspiring place! Target has amazing plastic bins at affordable prices to keep toys at bay, bins to pack seasonal clothes away. Crate and Barrel has great mini items - ironing board (for under the bed) shoe racks (that adjust in size and are uber strong) and glass jars that mimic Ina Garten for your coffee & sugars. It feels amazing to look at a clean space. Even my desk, organized with file folders and rack. Major OM!!!

Im back to yoga too - some therapeutic classes at Body Dynamics but also at home. 6 Sun Salutations a night + acupuncture, physical therapy and a few new vitamins and probiotics has helped me significantly. I thrive for a peaceful body.

Here are some happy pictures that give me breathe - and maybe you as well - Namaste

Family & a finished piece

So Im on week 2 of bed rest and it's so hard! Sitting still is difficult enough, but not being able to do anything fun or even run to Michael's is killing me! I am listening to Dr's orders and staying on bed rest but every once in a while I have to hop on my sewing machine. My friend Sheryl gave me great reason. Remember that pretty floral fabric from my previous post? Well it is now a full length back & neck pillow filled to the brim with lavender & flax seed.

Last night Hannah, Rob & I were relaxing in the family room and Hannah decided to try taking pictures. The didnt come out so hot. Actually nobody ended up in them - so we snapped a few to show how much fun we had.
