Affiliate links? Check. Bragging? Check. Photo of a book with cover design colors that makes me happy? Check. Isn't that fun cover? I'm currently reading Say Goodbye to Survival Mode: 9 Simple Strategies to Stress Less, Sleep More, and Restore Your Passion for Life, but before I even received the book, I had a very favorite … [Read more...]
Use It Or Lose It
I am nervous about jinxing myself with this statement, but I'm going to say it anyway: I've had my iPhone for more than two years and I have never (really) lost it. As a chronic lose-er, this is kind of a big deal. Soon after I got it, I did have ten minutes of panic when I left it in a nearby room at church, and I do regularly call it so … [Read more...]
Need Major Intervention for Your Messy House?
Sponsored post alert! Two assumptions I make about readers here: You might struggle (just a little) keeping your home under control. Might. You're funny. Or at least you like funny things and/or don't get offended by people who don't themselves too seriously. Because of those two assumptions, when Zep Commercial Cleaners (who make ALL … [Read more...]

Some Tricks Wouldn’t Work for Me
There are some seriously smart organizing tricks that I don't bother trying. It's my developed-from-experience opinion that each person has a unique brain and must find what works for her in her home. Knowing/accepting this helps me not give up completely when expert advice fails miserably for me. It also helps me not waste time on certain … [Read more...]
Two Brown Cardigans
Once upon a time (like, a week-and-a-half ago), I spent the day with my mother-in-law. Actually, we do this every Wednesday. But on this particular Wednesday, I was highly uncomfortable. I had dressed that morning, choosing to wear my most comfortable jeans even though I couldn't find my belt. Even though I knew (from irritating … [Read more...]
Observations of Normal People – Why vs. Why Not?
I have two normal sisters-in-law. At least, normal in the sense of the definition I've created for this blog . . . Last Friday night, my sweet husband threw a birthday party for me in our hometown so family and growing-up friends could attend. It was lovely. My mother decorated the tables, and chose exactly the kinds of things that make my … [Read more...]
Hubby Decluttered! (And the Final Decluttering Party Week!)
So here's what (sometimes) happens when you start decluttering: Other people in the house get the bug too. I'm kind of sortof cheating on this post. It has been a crazy week, and I've actually been away from home, so I didn't get any decluttering done. So I'm posting this from last week. Remember how we worked on the kids' rooms? Well, while … [Read more...]
Little Decisions
I consider myself a Master Declutterer because I have to do it so much. I have to do it so much because I'm also a Master Reclutterer. Hubby claims our room is a science fiction phenomenon. It's like when you shoot down and destroy everything in a video game. It's gone, the space is clear . . . and then you hit the reset button and suddenly … [Read more...]
