january. i love this month. it is like a clean slate. i need clean order and have a hard time with clutter. we put all of the holiday decor away, went through drawers, cupboards and even tackled the kids' toy baskets. i always have the kids help me. summer is great at sorting and organizing but forrest on the other hand... not so helpful. that little boy is a ball of energy and just wants to please. it felt like one step forward and two steps back but i guess that is how he will learn. we ended the day with a drop off at goodwill and a trip to the florist. summer and forrest each picked their own batch of flowers. i love how flowers make me so happy. putting fresh flowers in a simple pitcher reminds me of the old farm days - simplicity. here is to a clean, fresh start of the year!
p.s. the picture of summer with her "playdoh flower" from our arts and crafts time today was perfect timing.
