spring bugs - clutter bugs that is....

i have a few minutes, well not really, but wanted to get an entry in since i really have not been the best blogger since i started this thing.

spring is in the air and i really need to do some spring cleaning. i feel like this every year. spring is the time of year is when i feel like i need to make my 'new year's resolutions' - only 3 months behind the rest of the western world. but then again, what else is new? am i on time with anything else in my life? not really unless it is work related (or birthing babies), then i'm usually on top of it, well most of the time (sorry dad about not getting your proposals done...)

there is something about spring - clean, fresh, renewal... that makes me want a fresh start - a clean slate. anyway, i was poking around on the oprah website and read about her army of bugs - clutter bugs. boy, could i sure use her clutter bugs here. but there is a snowball's chance in sw florida that i would EVER get a visit from anyone from the oprah show. so, i must forge ahead and do it myself. so, i'm going to post photos for the entire www to see. my mess, my clutter, my shame. THEN i will post the after and show my lack of clutter. at least that is my intention. i've always dreamed of having one of those homes that looks like a model home - everything in its place, nothing askew. but then those model homes are not really homes, they are models and real families do not live there, especially families with two little kiddos. but none-the-less, i want to strive for less clutter, less mess and and LESS STRESS!!! because, i tell you what, this mess is causing me stress!!!

so, without further a do, here is my mess. starting with my cozy studio office. i have a rocking space that my dad and scott did for me. one year ago, they put in a new wood floor and some awesome cabinets. a year later i'm still trying to get organized! how sad is that?!?! but no more. give me a couple of weeks and this place will look like one of those studios in the magazines (i hope anyway!)



well, that does it for me for this posting as i my eyes are starting to blur. i think my starbucks iced coffee is finally starting to wear off. it's only 2am. i really should be in bed sleeping!!! so, beauty rest is calling my name and blogging stops. the decluttering will begin soon (i hope)!!!

How do you get a cool looking blog?!?!

i've been reading all this so nifty and cool mommy blogs. first of all how do they find the time, second where do they learn how to create such darn cute blog sites? just because i'm a graphic designer, doesn't mean i know web stuff. soooo, i'm hoping to win a cool re-do of my blog. so i'm posting this cute little icon in hopes of winning something - like a re-do or a very cool mommy necklace. we'll see...

First post: 1 thing, 2 do, 3 words, 4 you...i love you

well, i have great expectations for my 'simple pleasures' blog but i'm not sure i'm 100% up to the task. not that i don't LOVE to share my thoughts and show off my latest designs and tell you all about my super-cute kids, but i'm afraid i don't have the proper time to commit to such a task. i don't like to do anything half-way. i want my projects to look fab and be done right - not just thrown together. so, i guess the best way to know if this thing is going to take off or not is to just do it.

so here we go...

this is my first official post to my blog. i dedicate this first post to my main squeeze, my love and best buddy, my one and only husband, scott. he's a terrific dude, a great dad and is generally pretty handy around the house (when he is home that is - he's been working a lot lately and i think it is only going to get worse before it gets better, but more on that topic later on down the blogging road). my love, as i usually call him (the girls at the office tease us about this as i usually will say something like, 'hey love, will you please sign this check for me'.) anyway, i work a couple of hours a week doing the accounts payable and marketing at the office - my husband is a family physician with his own practice. check out our one and only web page at www.greerhealthcare.com. (yes, i know, i need to work on the content of the site - like i said more about work later on down the blogging road). ANYWAY, i'm not here to talk about work, but rather dedicate this first blog entry to my love.

so, i stumbled on this super cute website (http://www.hdgreetings.com/) where you can customize the plain white t's song and video. the song is way cute and very fitting for someone that you love. so, after about 5 minutes or so, i had created this nifty little video for my love. i sent it to him via email - nothing like that personal touch, ey?

so, here it is....

1 thing, 2 do, 3 words, 4 you...i love you dedicated to my love, scott.



hope you will check back often to my blog. i hope to post some cute things i've designed and just have some general ramblings about what's going on in our crazy, hectic lives.
until the next post,
try to do something creative everyday.
