Mommie Mere's Minutes: A Clean House is a Happy House (and Mommie).

So today, I had the greatest friend in the WORLD come hang out with me... Abbey Henley. This morning started off with a yummy pancake breakfast (whole wheat and sugar free jelly...hello southbeach for me). After breakfast we headed to the farmers market (a new post to come on our findings). After we walked around and enjoyed each other and the farmers market we headed home and got a sudden urge to clean. (Just an FYI to all those reading, you can come to my house ANY time with an urge to clean and I will have plenty:)

We started with the pantry. We forgot to take a before picture, but here is a pictures of all the "pantry goods" emptied all over the place.

After everything was all emptied out, we scrubbed it from top to bottom, left to right and started putting it back in ever so neatly. I now have a breakfast, lunch, dinner, baking and paper goods spot on all the shelves. Ahhh...organization is a lovely thing I need more of.

Here are the nasty dog bowls (I'm embarrassed to put these up) before I scrubbed them.

And here they are after they were scrubbed and bleached...I bet dinner even tasted better in them...:):)

Ramsey and Roxy saying thank you for the clean bowls!

So here is a picture of before we scrubbed and cleaned the kitchen... and let me make a disclaimer, while I do not put everything away all the time, this next picture is of all the pantry emptied out onto the counters, my counters do NOT always look like this:) (and there is sweet Abbey in the background...scrubbing away:)
