This past week it was so good to have my mom here for a visit. Somehow, this is the only photo we have from the whole week. And oddly enough, it was taken by an 11-year-old. I'd say she could put me out of a job!

We spent the majority of the week unloading every nook and cranny in my apartment and then tossing and donating. We took four bags of clothes to Goodwill and threw away 2-3 bags of unnecessary clutter and useless items. It certainly feels better to come home every night and not have to think about needing to organize and clean. So far I have been good about not leaving things out or throwing clothes on my bedroom floor. My plan is to maintain these good habits!

We probably walked 6 miles through Wal-Mart and Target during the week. We enjoyed several trips to Starbucks, which is always more fun together, and saved a little time for shopping. My mom fell in love with my "girls" and I knew she was hooked when her first morning she texted and asked if she could give them a grape because they freaked out when she opened the refrigerator door.

We hung curtains in my bedroom which has drastically cut down the temperature in the room and made it much easier to sleep at night. But we also took some time to have a little fun and made a tutu which I'll use for baby/toddler photos.

It was hard to take her to the airport on Tuesday and watch her walk through security. While I know I'm where I'm supposed to be, it's hard having her be so far away. Thanks for a great week, lots of laughs and lots of productivity. I love you Mom!
