Tackle it Tuesday

I've seen a handful of blogs post a weekly entry labeled "Tackle it Tuesday" so I'm.... borrowing it? Stealing it? Eh, whatever, I'm using it to my advantage! So today, I'm tackling the fact that I offered to host Mother's Day for my side of the family. Eek. This will be my first gathering with my family at our house. I've got a laundry list of things to do, but here's what I tackled tonight:

Ahhhh nice and clean!
