magical monday

My weekends seem to be that of a warrior.  My husband had hours of cleaning up debris from fallen branches and I finally caved in and cleaned up after the construction crew.  It actually did not take me that long.  A shelf is now host to paint cans, brushes, tools, rags, bags and I cannot wait to see the faces on the men when they arrive this morning.  I feel like the Fairy Godmother.

Identify a problem and then a solution to solve it or make it all better.  Often we may not think that we hold the magical powers to change a situation but we do.  This was a surprising revelation to me.  

Just imagine a pile of tangled ropes, masses of yarn sprawled about and one can suddenly create magic.
I found this rug on pinterest and it reminded me of how I felt after creating magic from the chaos.  Find the magic on Monday by solving a problem.

If you had one wish, what sort of wish would solve your problem and make your monday more magical?  Tell me.

That runner is amazing and I wish all of life's tangles could magically turn into something lovely... My boys rarely notice when I pick up after them so I hope your crew does! Now, time to think of what I need from France!

I hop the crew notices and appreciates, but if not a sense of order even for yourself is nice. My only wish for this Monday would be that my body would feel less achey and more strong and energized!
Have a wonderful Monday!

I wish I had more time, and I simply don't know how to make that possible. I could not visit my fave blogs, but then I would be depressed without seeing cute rugs made of rope and pieces of this or that! Congrats on making your day a little brighter, and thanks for making mine as well.

What a great post!!! I'm like you the chaos gets to me, it's always good to start with a clean slate. Maybe your crew will clean up their act too:)

awww what a lovely post. my biggest wish right now is for a peaceful holiday season. i don't know what kind of powers i would need to accomplish that. i suppose, like happiness, peace is an inside job. good place to start. have a lovely week yourself.

Nothing feels as good as tidied up and everything in its place. After just a week of a jumbled mess (inside and out)...I can see I could use a fairy godmother on a weekly basis to get me through our project!!

I know you must be loving your finished spaces!!!
Happy Monday!
xoxo

Tidy surroundings is the most peaceful feeling for me.
I'm sure you're ready to have the project completed.

Drew and I went through is toy chest in the basement this weekend to purge. Then we organized the toys he kept into baskets on a shelf so he could see what he has. Then I rearranged the furniture to make it a cozier space. It went from a never used room to the place Drew wants to spend his time in and get creative. Yeah!
Bonus - no hot wheels tracks or lego building for me to trip on anymore.
