Spring Cleaning and Christmas Photo Shoot


I have family coming for Christmas, so the things that get neglected are being wiped clean. Today I cleaned out and wiped down the fridge. I love having a clean fridge. It only happens about once a year, I'll be honest. The oven and bathtubs are currently soaking in Easy Off, which is why I'm sitting here for a little rest. Next will be the kitchen cabinet doors and I need to reorganize the pantry and cabinets so everything won't fall out on top of my family when they snoop in my kitchen. Josh has been doing a bunch of honey do projects outside all on his own without my nagging. Right now he is hanging the Christmas lights and singing so loud with his MP3 player that I can hear him clearly. So, let me get to the point of this post.


My friend, Lindsay, took pictures of our family for our Christmas card mail outs/Afton's 18 month photos. I am very happy with them! She does a great job and has a Christmas deal going on if you haven't had your family photo done yet. Go HERE to view our photos. Now, off I go to spray down some cabinets (oh, AND I cleaned the oven vents. They were gross!)

We don't mind a little mess. Don't over do it missy, I don't want you all exhausted by the time we get there.
The family photos look GREEAAT. We might have to get some done too when we come.....maybe. Anyway, your family is so beautiful! Ayden looks so much like you.

you're supposed to clean the oven vents? WHAT???
And easy off oven cleaner works in bathtubs? What does it do?
I hope you have a nice visit with family...and that picture is beautiful!

Jess, use Fume Free Easy Off on your tub just like you would in the oven for stubborn tub stains. It works great! I spray it down, turn on the air vent, go do other things while it soaks for two hours, then rinse it off with hot water and a toilet brush. I learned this from my Aunt Videt who learned it from her older sister, my Aunt Sally.
