Vacation Surprise

For Spring Break this year, we wanted sun and warmth, so we went to Florida. We all had a blast! We surprised the girls with a Disney World trip. We did one park (Magic Kingdom) for one day. It was so much fun!

Anna's favorite part was meeting Rapunzel. Emma enjoyed it too, though she won't admit it. :-)

80's Zumba Night


I go to Zumba at CSA (Community School of the Arts) here in Marion. They had an 80's theme night with 2 hours of Zumba. It was a blast! And definitely a blast from the past! It was fun to come up with a costume and to see everyone else's costume too. There was a lot of bright colors in the room! I don't know that I have ever exercised for 2 hours straight before. I am a little sore today, but not too bad. It was so worth it! :-)

Organizing

I am on a spree of organizing. I spent the past weekend organizing (and purging!). So far, I have made great strides in the guest room, our bedroom and bathroom and the loft. I even found a couple of websites to keep me inspired. One blog has a 21 day challenge to getting your house organized... she suggests doing it baby steps at a time. Today's challenge was the medicine/vitamin cabinet. I took the challenge and tackled the cabinet. I have also been checking out FlyLady. I am able to go to sleep tonight with a clean sink and I spent just 15 minutes today in the girls' playroom (with their help of course!).
My organizing is not limited to my house... I am doing it at school too. I sifted through my "dump box" today and filed away a bunch of stuff. I also went into the equipment room in the gym and (with the help of a fellow teacher) organized it a bit.
I am on a roll!

I am looking for some good ideas.

Know of any good blogs or websites about decorating? I am looking to redecorate and reorganize. I tried to get some ideas online, but haven't really found much. I KNOW it is out there... I just don't know where to begin... any suggestions?

I would describe my taste as being vintage contemporary with an oriental flair. How's that to describe what I am looking for? :-)
