I know. I've been yakking about laundry all week. (Sometimes that happens, y'all.) I just get excited when puzzle pieces unexpectedly fit because a routine is working. Puzzle pieces like this towel that I used as a knee-saver when I was cleaning that horrendous spot on the playroom floor last weekend: Pre-Laundry Day, I would have … [Read more...]
Setting Aside a Weekend for a Twenty Minute “Project”
I look forward to the end of Daylight Savings Time each fall because dark happens earlier. Not that I don't love daylight. But when darkness falls before 6 p.m. on Sunday nights, I don't have to worry about the state of my playroom when our church's home group meets here. Our playroom is really an enclosed back patio. A sunroom. A … [Read more...]
037 Excuses (Good Ones!) Podcast

A Change of Socks for Everyone!!!
First, a joke: There once was an army general whose troops were on a losing streak. The men were terribly discouraged. Food was scarce, uniforms were tattered, and they'd been marching for so long that there had been no time to do laundry. The soldiers had been wearing the same underwear . . . for weeks months. The general knew he needed … [Read more...]
The New Laundry Basket Delusion
As I took a photo for yesterday's post, I re-noticed my oddly shaped laundry basket and laughed. It's a special laundry basket. It's rectangular and just the right size and shape to be able to fit TWO on top of my dryer without wasting any space. My mom bought it (and another just like it) for me about ten years ago. I'm sure she … [Read more...]
The Laundry Day Club
I got a comment from one of you over the weekend that made me so happy. It was from a recent Laundry Day Convert. I’ve been following your blog for a while now and I always resisted the idea of a laundry day. I own a front loader which takes at least 1.5 hours (depending on the laundry program) which is common here in the Netherlands. And I also … [Read more...]
My Day in the Wildlife with Dawn
About six weeks ago, I got an email from Dawn (the dish soap, not a woman named Dawn) asking me to serve as an ambassador for them this fall in their efforts to highlight the volunteers who work to save wildlife. I don't usually like to travel without the family, but this part of the email got me: "In order to bring the Dawn wildlife story to … [Read more...]

Re-Re-Re-Re-Decluttering. Again.
I stuck an affiliate link in this post. I think it fit. Yesterday, I shared a project-that-wasn't-actually-a-project. I finally straightened my bookshelf after putting off doing ANYthing because I considered it a decluttering project. You could totally argue that this project isn't really a project either. That it's simply a matter of … [Read more...]
