Spring Into Spring!!!
As all the flowers, grass, trees, veggies and fruits start to bloom and come back to life so does life in the Osburn home. Spring is always the time when we kick it into gear and don't seem to rest again until school is out and we move onto summer.
One thing I always try to tackle in the spring time is spring cleaning. This is when I pick a room or a closet or a hall to tackle each day until I am all the way finished. Yes I know some think this is an obsolete practice, but, for us it is crucial. It helps me maintain and lets me know I am doing a much better job helping to keep my family healthy. I have to get all dust etc...off of baseboards, under beds, couches, behind shoes, you name it. It also helps to keep things decluttered. As I clean I also tend to purge and remove items from our house that haven't been touched in a year. It is a great time to donate items and hold onto your receipt for tax time next year!
This time of year is also greatly consumed by our favorite pass time...baseball. Both boys play and practice 3 to 4 days a week...so we practically live at the ball fields come spring. This year also has brought on a surge for my daughter to vamp up her tumbling skills as she prepares to try out for the competitive squad for middle school next year. So she is spending many hours a week working on her back tuck etc... busy busy bees we tend to be in the spring.
So from our family to yours: Here's to a fabulously busy spring! I will stop to smell the roses with you in June!
