I thoroughly enjoyed today's hangout! It felt more interactive since I could more easily see the questions and comments. I did miss some, though, but I've copied/pasted them into a document so maybe we'll do one last hangout after January where I can catch up on them. Thanks to those who were there! Next week's hangout will be on decluttering … [Read more...]
Cleaning the Bathtub (Another Caused-By-a-Messy-Closet-Floor Project)
Because I cleared the floor of my closet, I also cleaned my bathtub. Huh? The two don't seem related, but unfortunately they are. Bathroom Cleaning Day had been inhibited by the fact that I couldn't get to my bathtub easily. Chairs in front of the bathtub were piled with clothes because I couldn't get into the closet to put them away. I … [Read more...]
Putting It to Good Use
There is a certain blanket that I tried to declutter many, many times. I called it my Bambi Blanket. I loved that blanket. It was always fluffy and cool and was the best for creating a warm cocoon on winter nights as a child. I didn't take it to college, but it somehow ended up in my own home soon after I had children. I envisioned it as a … [Read more...]
I Am Resourceful. Why Yes. I Am.
I'm a problem solver. Often, though, I'm solving problems created by me. Blergh. While decluttering my closet last week, I ran across an example of my resourcefulness. A familiar example. I've had many versions of this handy-dandy homemade tool over the years. It's a hook. A hook made out of a wire hanger. The purpose? To get … [Read more...]
Adding Square Footage to My Bathroom By Decluttering
I added some square footage to my home this week. I get so used to shifting my hips this way or that to get by a HUGE SUITCASE that has been sitting in the middle of the bathroom for months . . . that I don't even realize it's there. It just seems like part of the house. But then, when I finally put it where it's supposed to go, it's like my … [Read more...]

One In. One Out. (Breathe In. Breathe Out.)
Sometimes it's embarrassing that I have to talk myself through basic decluttering/anti-clutter strategies on such simple things. I'm pretty sure there are people who don't even know that One In One Out is a "tip" because they just do it. They look at a new, actually-white washcloth in their hand and naturally grab the one they've been using … [Read more...]
G+ Hangout – Let’s Talk Decluttering! Tips and Strategies to Help You Declutter
I had SO much fun at the hangout this morning. I'm still learning and may try some different things next week so I can respond to questions in real time, but it was fun to actually hangout with people and talk decluttering. I'm embedding the hangout here so you can watch. If you can't see it, go straight to the event page and watch it there. I … [Read more...]
It’s Okay to be Sad
As a mom, I know this. I've known it from day one. I never had a problem letting my babies cry. Sometimes they needed to release pent-up energy. Sometimes they needed to express their opinion. (Naptime sucks, Mom!) But they always eventually stopped. And they went back to being happy again. Actually, they were generally happier after a good … [Read more...]
