I'm joining in the Ultimate Blog Party over at 5 Minutes for Mom. Here's a basic summary of what A Slob Comes Clean is all about: I started my blog on the first day of school, in August '09, because: I'm a slob. I was sick of being a slob, and tired of feeling helpless to change. I had STUFF, way too much, and needed something to keep …

A Thirty Minute Project
I have proof on this one. This week is crazy with Princess Party Prep, but I've been hitting hot spots between castle-drawing and tiara-buying. You may recognize this spot. I've decluttered it before. And it stayed in good shape for quite a while. But then I let some clutter creep in, and soon it became invisible again. I took this …
An Artist Who "Gets It"
First, let me remind you that Friday is April 1st. Yeah. It is. No foolin’. I’d love for you to join in the monthly Decluttering Update for March. I’ll put it up with the linky on Thursday night at 9 p.m. Central. You can write a post about your progress (or your lack of progress), or share in the comments. It really is exciting to put into …
A Back to the Future Moment
I have a question. What do YOU do with all of your wigs? You know, the ones you wouldn't wear on a normal day? Oh. You don't have any wigs? Hmmm. Okaaaay. Well, it's a real issue for me. I can justify keeping the wigs that are modern and fun in the master bedroom. But if I also kept my classic pin-curled ones in there, it might …
I’m Totally Shelf-Obsessed
Deciding on the perfect shelf for my daughter's room led to a re-arranging/moving/exhausting-switching-out of shelving units all over the house. I LOVE shelves. Seriously. They are my weakness. Somehow, I've arrived at a point where I can accept that little containers will not solve my slob-problems, and that they'll just end up as clutter …
My Little Girl’s Room Is Organized . . . Am I on a Roll Here?
I shared on Friday that after being so proud of myself for organizing the garage, I ended up in a funk when the very next day, a desperate search for tap shoes made me unable to deny that my daughter's room had . . . once again . . . ended up in a state of chaos. Bigtime chaos. Such bigtime chaos and such a bigtime funk that I didn't even …
Purging Kids’ Clothes . . . Again
Can I just say that after the high of getting my insanely-cluttered-and-neglected garage organized, the low of (unsuccessfully) looking for my daughter's dance bag in her how-is-it-a-disaster-again room yesterday morning was not a fun contrast? It's definitely been one of those recovering-slob mood swing days that I could totally do …
My Garage is Now . . . Organized! (With "After" Pictures!)
Here it is. My final garage post. Final . . . because it's done! Monday, I shared about my attempts to "at least do something." Tuesday, I recounted the day when I really got going on this monstrous project. Yesterday, I actually got excited as I wrote about the momentum I was gaining. The final day, Tuesday, began with me doing my …
Day Two of My Big Garage Organization Project
Saturday morning I was ready to get to work. I was excited about Friday's progress, and I felt that this was going to be the day when I would see real change. I know, it almost sounds like I'm an Organizational Blogger, right? After spending 30 minutes looking for the dust mask I wore the day before (which I still haven't found), I decided …
