Can you see them in that Donate Box? Three cute pairs of little-girl tights. I was rather proud of myself as I grabbed those while Christmas shopping. So cute! AND practical!! But alas, though the packaging was ripped and tossed immediately, a certain someone claims they don't fit. I kindof sortof believe her. Though if it were someone … [Read more...]
Washing Curtains – Spring Cleaning a Little at a Time
The idea of Spring Cleaning used to send me into a funk. I could not see the point. The corners and rugs and shelves that were begging to be deep-cleaned would have had to be unearthed first. Decluttered. I would stick my fingers in my ears and close my eyes and sing gibberish until the season passed. Not really. But almost. But now … [Read more...]

Admitting It’s Time to Let Go
I recently shared the shocking (to me) loveliness and effectiveness of dishwasher cleaner. I casually mentioned that the chips on my white plates were discolored. I didn't mention that the backs of my beloved melamine white plates were downright embarrassing. Horrifying, really. I was bumfuzzled. My beloved dishwasher was getting … [Read more...]
My Changing View of Stuff and Value

So THAT’s How My New Chairs Look
I've been missing for a while. I had big plans to write ahead and have posts scheduled to go up while I took Spring Break off to be with my family. And then, the Monday before Spring Break was a completely unexpected Ice Day. With everyone home, I was determined to spend time with them instead of working ahead on this blog-thing I do. I had big … [Read more...]
Super Simple Banana (and Whatever) Smoothies
This is my newest obsession. Banana smoothies. Frozen bananas, blended, taste basically like ice cream. But they're bananas. Which means I feel like I'm eating ice cream for breakfast. Which makes me happy. This has made me go a little crazy on the banana-buying lately, hoping they'll start looking like this before we eat them … [Read more...]
Creating Space In My Home by Decluttering
I'm on a Space Creation Kick lately. I might (or might not) have a few dumping areas. Fine. I do. One is (once again) the master bedroom, and one is "hidden" behind a screen in the gameroom. These spaces get on my nerves, but at least a part of the master bedroom one is Girl Scout stuff. Honestly, the "stuff" was one of … [Read more...]
How to Reduce Paper Clutter
Oh, how I don't want to write this post. I'm only writing it because it has been specifically requested many many times. Paper is a slob's natural enemy. And I most definitely don't have paper "under control." This makes me feel unqualified to speak on the subject. But . . . I've come a long way. A VERY long way. So I decided to share how … [Read more...]
