When I decluttered that back corner of our gameroom recently, I discovered a lot of things in the pile were photos or wallhangings or signs that I knew I wanted to keep but hadn't found a place for yet. So I had to wrestle with myself a little/lot. Do I find a corner somewhere else to stash these things until I have time to decide … [Read more...]
Two Second Task – Test the Pen
I've written before about my resolve to not keep pens that don't work. And about how that is strangely difficult for me. But I'm adding another Personal Life Law. I shall henceforth and forevermore test every pen discovered during a decluttering project immediately, BEFORE placing it in the Pen Drawer. Really. I'm not sure why this … [Read more...]
Obeying the Door Prize Lady
I'm a rule follower. (Most of the time.) My stomach gets all knotty when I see someone stick his hand outside of the moving kiddie train, and I always count my items before I get in the express checkout lane. But really, I do NOT have to do what this stupid door prize ticket from who-knows-when tells me to do. (And let's all take a … [Read more...]
Storing Space Takers
It's official. I have moved past the point where my gut wrenches at the thought of giving up something so USEFUL!! Because packing and shipping was once my life when I sold on eBay all the time, I know what an awesome feeling it is to already have weightless, cushioney space takers in your cabinet when you need to ship an oddly shaped, … [Read more...]
Comfy Shoes For Mama – Reebok Skyscape Review #sponsored #MC #skyscape
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Reebok. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. I've been working out. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning for months now. Why, yes. I am rather proud of myself. Thankfully, I have good … [Read more...]
029 Get People to Your Garage Sale – Podcast
After two weeks of getting a podcast up on time, I'm late again. If you've been missing earlier podcasts, I generally try to not make these my top post on the blog. (Mostly because my mother complains when I do!) That means that when I put one out, there is also a post goes up that day as well. That's not going to happen on a … [Read more...]
Finishing the Big Gameroom Decluttering Project
I've already told you how I was in a funk on Saturday. A what-is-the-POINT kind of funk. Unfortunately, I know just how to cure those kinds of funks. Declutter. So I did. I decided I was FINALLY going to FINISH the HUGE project in my gameroom. The one I'd been pretending wasn't noticable because of the screen in front of it. I … [Read more...]
Hope for My Kids??
Last week, as we were barely hanging on in the midst of final-week-of-rehearsals craziness, I was experiencing what you might call . . . despair. A toilet had overflowed because a child claimed there was no toilet paper left in the house and had therefore chosen to use a paper towel. Even though there was toilet paper in the … [Read more...]
Four Crazy-Easy, Super-Quick Dinners
Last week was Show Week. My two boys were in a play and I was directing. A busy (somewhat-stressed) mom plus limited time to get dinner on the table makes it hard to resist the allure of a drive thru window . . . but I succeeded! (Monday through Thursday. I had no intention of cooking on the weekend!) Each night, I used my pre-cooked and … [Read more...]
