So here's what (sometimes) happens when you start decluttering: Other people in the house get the bug too. I'm kind of sortof cheating on this post. It has been a crazy week, and I've actually been away from home, so I didn't get any decluttering done. So I'm posting this from last week. Remember how we worked on the kids' rooms? Well, while … [Read more...]

Little Decisions
I consider myself a Master Declutterer because I have to do it so much. I have to do it so much because I'm also a Master Reclutterer. Hubby claims our room is a science fiction phenomenon. It's like when you shoot down and destroy everything in a video game. It's gone, the space is clear . . . and then you hit the reset button and suddenly … [Read more...]
3 Ways to Declutter Ripped or Stained Clothing
Sometimes the MOST obvious things can be the hardest. Oh how my heart sang when Hubby decided it was time to get rid of this hole-ey t-shirt. But then came the question, "What do we do with it?" It feels weird to throw fabric in the trash. (Though I'm not against that.) But it also feels wrong to donate clothing that isn't wearable, so … [Read more...]
Two Second Task – New Drawer Pulls
I haven't posted a two second task in a while. I have to post this one. OH my word, how irritated I get with myself for putting off such SIMPLE things. Simple things that make a huge difference. This dresser was mine as a child. When I was decorating my first child's nursery, my mother repainted it for me. In white. But the old … [Read more...]

My twelve year old often asks, "Hey, when are you going to make that, y'know, noodle stuff I really like." This is an eMeals recipe that really did take me out of my comfort zone. In a good way. I tend to stick with chicken breasts and ground … [Read more...]
Aaaaahhhh. Clean(ish) Kids’ Rooms!
Monday was a school holiday. My kids were (not so) thrilled when I announced on Saturday that Monday would be a Day of Decluttering. I narrowed my eyes (for effect) and warned them that I was thinking of implementing the "Sure, you can get on your Kindle Fire as long as your room is clean!" policy. I was thinking about it, but knew it … [Read more...]
Dr. Hubby Diagnoses My Slob Problem
He has figured it out, people. Yep. Dr Hubby claims he now knows the cause of all my Slob Problems. I can't aim. He figured this out by the fact that there are Q-tips all around the bathroom trash can, but rarely a single one actually IN the trash can. He confirmed it while watching me overfill my coffee cup with powdered creamer, … [Read more...]

I enjoyed hanging out today, talking about decluttering kitchens! (Go here if you can't see the embedded video.) Strangely, quite a few people lost the feed mid-hangout, but I think it still recorded all of it. These posts have most of the information covered in the hangout: How to Declutter Your Kitchen Decluttering Here's a … [Read more...]
Nony Turns 40!
Happy Birthday to me! I'm scheduling this post to go up the night before I turn 40. The Big Four Oh. To celebrate, I'm waxing eloquent about growing older. Here goes: When I turned ten, I cried. I cried because I was getting old. For real. Thankfully, my concerned teacher took me out in the hall, asked me what was wrong, and then … [Read more...]
