Recently I read about the 40 bags in 40 days on someones blog. I think this is a fabulous idea and I am up for the challenge.<\/p>\n

I am so tired of clutter.<\/p>\n

And of course it is always worse after a trip. At least it seems worse.<\/p>\n

This is what I found on the blog<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a pretty simple concept: Just commit to ridding your home of 40 bags of \u201cstuff\u201d during the 40 days of Lent.<\/em><\/p>\n


\n<\/em>You can throw it away or give it away\u2014garbage, clothing, toys, books, etc. You can pick the size of bag that makes the most sense for your circumstances\u2014large garbage bags if you have a lot of clutter, smaller bags if you have less. <\/em><\/p>\n

Mine will probably be 40 bags today. If it’s not nailed down….<\/p>\n

Let’s call it Spring Cleaning. Since Spring is finally starting to show it’s pretty head.<\/p>\n

Here are a few more pics from the vacay<\/p>\n

Eva decided while at the beach that she was a big girl and wanted to sit at the table as a big girl, no booster seat, nothing.<\/p>\n

And she sat and ate and was such a good grown up girl<\/p>\n

Cole looks so big in this next pic<\/p>\n
