I've loved sharing the things I learned on my trip to The Marine Mammal Center for Dawn's Day in the Wildlife as a spokesperson for Dawn. I'm fascinated by all the work and detail that goes into rehabilitating the animals to re-enter the wild. But it's the people who inspire me. They're normal people who've chosen to make a HUGE commitment of …

Systems Help. Really, They Do.
I walked out to the Donate Box yesterday morning and found this: It's a carseat. A carseat that's been embarrassing us. We haven't had a kid who could fit in that carseat for a very long time. Despite that obvious-to-anyone-who-knows-us fact, it had been hooked up in the back of my husband's car until yesterday. There's no need to …
042 One In One Out Podcast
In this one I blab on about the life-changing One In One Out concept that used to make NO SENSE to me. Posts mentioned in this podcast: Drowning in Clutter? (an e-book) The One In One Out Rule and Schedules Replacing My Food Storage Containers "Which One is Your Toothbrush?" The Olives The Can Openers The …
MORE Clutter Free Stocking Stuffer Ideas
Last fall, I shared an AWESOME list put together from your suggestions of things to put into stockings that won't end up as clutter. This year, I've been sharing some ideas for Clutter Free Stocking Stuffers over on my Facebook page for the last month or so. It's fun to think of things now that might not occur to me during a frantic trip to the …
The Very BEST Kind of Decluttering
After yesterday's Beyond Depressing Decluttering Post, I'm happy to share this one. Last night, as we watched our favorite family show (Shark Tank), my 8yo got the decluttering itch. She started out looking through our video stash "just to see what we had." Soon, she was sorting and stacking and making a Donate Pile of the ones we obviously …
The Very Worst Kind of Decluttering
Ouch. We finally did it. My husband has been mentioning this for a while, but I'd successfully pretended I didn't hear him. At some point in the past ten years, we had moths. His suits were ruined. Every single one of them. He wears a dress shirt and tie every day to work, but never a full-on suit. For the random times he needed …

Are We Out of Kleenex? Really??
Sometimes, I should just declutter instead of going to the store. I find all sorts of useful stuff. We'd been lamenting the lack of "facial tissues" in our house lately, and I'd been MEANING to order more on Amazon. Really, my normally amazingly-understanding Hubby had been more than a little irritated about using T.P. to blow his nose. But …
Decluttering My Bedside Chair/Dumping Ground
I love having that chair next to my bed. It's a little big for the space, but it's such a comfortable place to plop down and rest. What? You don't see a chair? Right. I guess that's a problem. Having a chair is great, but if it's just the base of a mountain of randomness, I don't get to enjoy it much at all. While my master bedroom is …
