Cute Story on Tuesday Night. Wednesday Morning, Tops.
What's that? You see a strange white film on my dining room table? Your hand sticks to the surface? Oh. Well, that's because we made ice cream at our Brownie meeting Tuesday afternoon. You know the kind. You measure the (white and sticky) ingredients into one storage bag and then place that inside a larger bag filled with ice and salt. You … [Read more...]
From the Mailbox: A Professional Organizer Who Is Learning to Speak Slob

Two Hour Crockpot Lasagna (Perfect for Practice Nights)
I have a whole repertoire of portable meals for game nights, but practice nights are difficult. Gymnastics, basketball and baseball practices all seem to happen smack dab in the middle of the hour when I'd like to have dinner as a family. We end up getting home right at the edge of what I personally consider an acceptable dinner time. In an … [Read more...]
One More Thing (There’s Always One More Thing)
Yesterday, I shared my love/hate of the wonders that occur when I invite someone into my home. Somehow, these pictures didn't fit with the flow of that post, but I feel they are important to share. (Important to share as a Slob Blogger. Totally weird to share as a Normal Person.) See that stuff on my fireplace? It was JUST outside the photo … [Read more...]
Such a Great Messy House Solution that I Totally Hate
Clutter creeps in so quickly, y'all. The house looked good on Saturday. So good that on Sunday, I could completely ignore the blankets I'd put out for my son and his friends. They were still piled on one of the recliners. Sure, it was irritating when someone else claimed the "only" recliner before I could get to it, but we managed. (We're … [Read more...]
Just Decluttering a Kitchen Cabinet (Step by Step, Without Making a Bigger Mess)
I didn't have the TIME to declutter, but this cabinet was making life difficult. It's where we store all sorts of stuff we use regularly, but it was a jumbled mess that caused me to waste time digging for the things I needed. I couldn't spend the morning getting organized, but since I now know how to declutter without making a bigger mess … [Read more...]
Excuse Me! I May Not LOOK Organized, but Don’t Go Messin’ With My Systems!
Hubby cleaned the kitchen during our Whole House Overhaul last week. I knew he did a good job, and admired the uncluttered look of the countertops. But it wasn't until Tuesday (four days after he cleaned the kitchen), that I noticed my food processor was missing. Missing! Gone! Not in the place where it has been for … [Read more...]
