I'm not exactly sure how I got there, but I ended up at a Ross store recently. And found these pretty things on sale: I liked them. I liked the colors and the size. And I remembered we'd recently broken a glass and were down to only a few of the glasses from the set I'd received a few years ago. So more plastic cups had crept into our … [Read more...]

Procrasticlutter: Clearing the Top of the Dryer #5MinuteFriday
I explain Slob Vision as my inability to see incremental mess. Edit that: my tendency to not see incremental mess. Edit again: my ability to move around incremental mess like it's not even there. Seriously, y'all. I have a gift. I got a new washer and dryer last year. I love love love them. One of the "features" I talked about when I … [Read more...]
122-Frustrated with Your Wardrobe? Tips from Kelly Snyder of Adore Your Wardrobe
I loved talking to Kelly Snyder, who shared great tips on what basic pieces you need, how to find the RIGHT basic pieces, and gave great perspective on letting go of clothes that don't look good on us. I appreciate so much that Kelly is amazingly practical and objective about fashion, a topic that usually feels ambiguous and subjective to … [Read more...]
Decluttering a JUNK Cabinet (a Catch-All Storage Space)

And part of explaining the Visibility Rule is explaining that visible spaces get re-cluttered more frequently than non-visible spaces, so that's an extra frustration that comes with tackling … [Read more...]

Where Would You Look OTHER Than There?
My first decluttering question is: If I was looking for this item, where would I look for it first? Would. Not should. No decisions need to be made. No analysis of the very best home for this particular thing. The home is where I would look first. The best thing about this question is that I can use it on my family members if it's an … [Read more...]
Clearing the Dining Room Table in Five Minutes #5MinuteFriday
I'm enjoying the motivation to see what I can do in five little ol' minutes. I recently tackled my dining room table. My dining room dumping ground. Which could have so so much worse. This is often the spot I tackle while the family is doing a five minute pickup. It seems to be the spot with the most decisions to make, as opposed to … [Read more...]
