One of the things that I realized on my little mini retreat was that I had lost something. I had lost a place in my house where I could go to retreat daily... children and their clutter had invaded every area of my home. And my bedroom had become, once again, a catch all for everything... wedding stuff, Christmas stuff, hair styling stuff, clean clothes that needed put away, decorations that were out of season... FlyLady is right about that, it is hard to rest in a mess.
So, I decided to clean my room. Yes. My room was as bad as the kids. Then I decided to switch out the uncomfortable rocking chair with a recliner from the basement. I bought a new lampshade for an old lamp, that was also in the basement, and wa-lah... I now have my retreat place...

Oh, and I also bought two bottles of bubble bath!
In order to avoid being dubbed "super-mom", I'll keep the rest of my tackle to myself! ;)

Awesome! Love your bedspread!
How nice is that. I need to get on to my tackle list, before the rest of the year gets away from me... Thanks for your inspiration.
Great work! I'm impressed...now go treat yourself to a bubble bath!
What a great tackle!! It looks wonderful.
Good for you for giving yourself your own "space."

Pam,
What a great thing to do for yourself. Your bedding is beautiful. I love the fall colors.
I absolutely love Flylady. She has helped so many people with the F.L.Y ( "Finally loving yourself") in the name of her website. God has used her in this family, that's for sure.
Great, great job. Doesn't it feel so good? I spent all day yesterday cleaning my house, and it's so nice to just sit back and experience the joy of a clean, restful house.
Okay, I guess I better get to work now instead of sitting at my computer.
I love how you are taking care of "Your" space. I love it! Your blog is so fun to keep up with. Keep it positive. Erin
