DH is anal about the finances, I just follow along Excercise and diet...hmmmmmm. Well, uh, I did get the step out of the attic and put it on the floor in the pantry. I plan to pull it out during DD's naptime and actually use the step-aerobic tapes that have been collecting dust.
Honey, I have a room like yours - - my craft room was the "holding place" for everything in the house that seemed, well, homeless. I finally cleaned it out and now the door is shut because it is off limits!
