Sometimes the MOST obvious things can be the hardest. Oh how my heart sang when Hubby decided it was time to get rid of this hole-ey t-shirt. But then came the question, "What do we do with it?" It feels weird to throw fabric in the trash. (Though I'm not against that.) But it also feels wrong to donate clothing that isn't wearable, so … [Read more...]
Two Second Task – New Drawer Pulls
I haven't posted a two second task in a while. I have to post this one. OH my word, how irritated I get with myself for putting off such SIMPLE things. Simple things that make a huge difference. This dresser was mine as a child. When I was decorating my first child's nursery, my mother repainted it for me. In white. But the old … [Read more...]
Beef Noodle Stir Fry Recipe
This post contains affiliate links. This beef and noodle stir fry has become a family favorite. My twelve year old often asks, "Hey, when are you going to make that, y'know, noodle stuff I really like." This is an eMeals recipe that really did take me out of my comfort zone. In a good way. I tend to stick with chicken breasts and ground … [Read more...]
Aaaaahhhh. Clean(ish) Kids’ Rooms!
Monday was a school holiday. My kids were (not so) thrilled when I announced on Saturday that Monday would be a Day of Decluttering. I narrowed my eyes (for effect) and warned them that I was thinking of implementing the "Sure, you can get on your Kindle Fire as long as your room is clean!" policy. I was thinking about it, but knew it … [Read more...]
Dr. Hubby Diagnoses My Slob Problem
He has figured it out, people. Yep. Dr Hubby claims he now knows the cause of all my Slob Problems. I can't aim. He figured this out by the fact that there are Q-tips all around the bathroom trash can, but rarely a single one actually IN the trash can. He confirmed it while watching me overfill my coffee cup with powdered creamer, … [Read more...]
How to Declutter Your Kitchen – Recorded G+ Hangout
I enjoyed hanging out today, talking about decluttering kitchens! (Go here if you can't see the embedded video.) Strangely, quite a few people lost the feed mid-hangout, but I think it still recorded all of it. These posts have most of the information covered in the hangout: How to Declutter Your Kitchen Decluttering Here's a … [Read more...]
Nony Turns 40!
Happy Birthday to me! I'm scheduling this post to go up the night before I turn 40. The Big Four Oh. To celebrate, I'm waxing eloquent about growing older. Here goes: When I turned ten, I cried. I cried because I was getting old. For real. Thankfully, my concerned teacher took me out in the hall, asked me what was wrong, and then … [Read more...]
Shameless – A Declutterer’s Gotta Do What a Declutterer’s Gotta Do
Oh, the shamelessness. No make-up, eyebrows that need plucking, and sunlight reflecting perfectly off of a GRAY frizz-curl in the middle of my forehead. (The things I do for this blog . . . ) But I'm talking about the dust mask. I come from a line of dust-mask-wearers. My mother, Practical Peggy, always wore one when she vacuumed and … [Read more...]
Super-Duper Easy Pizza Casserole (Using Pre-Cooked Ground Beef)
This post contains affiliate links. As you know, I've been using eMeals for over a year now. I've explained how I use the meal-planning service, but thought it might be good to show it in action. And . . . share a favorite recipe that I got from them. We're picky. We use the Aldi Classic Family Plan which has very basic meals, but there are … [Read more...]
