gearing up for spring + family + stuff

well, my finger tips are burning - i'd love to say from frantically typing for deisignbungalow but it's from all the scrubbing and organizing. the family is coming up for 10 days from the 'OC' dudes to visit for easter. yeah! but not so yeah when you figure out that you indeed are the hired help aka: the cleaning lady. and little man is actually a great help, my little guy has been cleaning the walls and swiffering the floors for years. 2.5 to be exact and he’s happy to help – really he is.....so weird. and it’s great as long as he stays out of the way, my mad spring cleaning way. never fear! I will be posting as often and as periodically as i can. well, as often as you can with a 6 + 3 year old around. as a good friend of mine says ‘god lov’em’.
