Clean Up Your Act

Spring-cleaning is in full swing, and we at DallasChild know how to do it right. For the last 3-4 weeks, we’ve had new carpet installed; attempted and subsequently botched a paint job (we’re writers, not painters!); corrected the damage with a professional paint job; and trashed years-worth of old magazines, papers and general junk. Our “new” digs are a lot calmer, definitely a lot cleaner, and free from clutter. Well, all except for Lauren’s desk and mine.

The Plano Area Mothers of Multiples have the same idea. They will hold their annual spring garage sale March 24, from 8am to noon at Fairview Farms in Plano.

Admission is $1, and inside promises to be full of children’s clothes, toys and accessories. Visit PAMOM's website for a map and details. Hey, everyone needs to clean house, and everyone loves a good find!

In other news, Shelley and Tessa arrived in Nashville today for the annual Parenting Publications of America convention. They'll be blogging live from the convention to let us all know what's new in the parenting publishing industry (and all the awards they've scooped up!) Don't worry, Lauren and I are holding down the editorial fort until they return :)
