Monday (I can't believe I haven't posted in two days), I shared that Paula was coming. She came, and I was ready to open the door and let her walk right in. This . . . is a big deal. I used my own How to Clean a Messy House Checklist, and today I'll share how Step Two went. Step Two: Make a list of rooms, by priority, according to where … [Read more...]
Cleaning for Paula – Following My Own Messy House Checklist
No time for a long post. I'm exhausted. Big things are going on here at Nony's house this week. I can't share exact details yet, but I will soon. Basically, I needed to clean. And I needed to stay focused. So I printed out my own How to Clean a Messy House checklist, and got to work. Step One: Take a deep breath, get out your calendar and … [Read more...]
Why Freezer Cooking Tickles My Organizing Bone
Yes. I do have an organizing bone in my body, thankyouverymuch. It’s just that my organizing bone has big dreams. It gets tickled by doing big projects with snazzy end results. It likes to make an impact. A lasting impact. I’m constantly having to remind/convince my brain that boring, monotonous things like doing dishes or clearing the dining … [Read more...]

Two Second Task – Moving Things We Don’t Use
In the summer of 2012, we got a new TV. When we got it, it didn't make any sense to hook up the VCR and DVD players that we never used, but that had been hooked up to our old TV. We didn't hook them up, but we also didn't move them. Right. They sat there. Shoved to the side of a TV that didn't have a flat top for stacking stuff on it. … [Read more...]
An Incredibly Creative Way to Menu Plan

How Habit #1 Really Does Change My Life
My friend Mary of Giving Up on Perfect offered to write this post after a comment I made in my first Google+ Hangout where she was a guest. (She was there when I messed up and it didn't record.)

Is Intentional Living in the Big Stuff or the Little Stuff?
I mentioned on Facebook this week that I was giddy over the fact that for a few short hours, I was beating the Cookie Monster in the top ten list for my podcast category in iTunes. I said if I had a bucket list, I'd write that down just so I could cross it off. But I don't have a bucket list. So I started thinking about whether I should have … [Read more...]
Three Things I Pitched This Week
I could write an angst-filled post about each one of these, but I'll spare you. They're all things that OBviously needed to go, but still caused me to hes . . . i . . . tate before I decided to throw them in the trash. Broken kitchen scissors. I love my kitchen scissors, but as I trimmed my 40 lbs of chicken, they snapped. … [Read more...]
