As I am taking some time off for the summer, I thought I'd share some reader questions and my answers. I don't claim to know everything, but I can share what I have done! Question: I struggle with decluttering as I save soooo many things that I feel are valuable. I have even purchased items at a "great price" thinking I could sell them and … [Read more...]
My Cabinet Decluttering Project (A Reader Guest Post!)
Nony here! I'm excited to share this decluttering guest post sent in by "Fran"! I hope you'll be encouraged that we are a community of declutterers and that you'll be inspired as you see what others have done. Here is a project that I did recently (similar to an old one of yours--kitchen cabinets with the dreaded plastic containers). Things … [Read more...]
Behind the Scenes at Medieval Times (or Crazy Things I Get to do as a Blogger!)
Just before the kids finished school, I had the chance to participate in a press tour of the Medieval Times corporate ranch. This is where the horses are raised and trained for all of the Medieval Times castles in the U.S. I know. It's a bit of a stretch to connect my cleaning and organizing theme to knights and livestock, but I couldn't … [Read more...]
Random Summer Update #3 (And a Special Swagbucks Sign-Up Code)
I didn't post a summer update last week. Last week was crazy. VBS happened. VBS stands for Vacation Bible School and it's my kids' favorite week of the year. But my house doesn't stand a chance in that week. I declared today House Cleaning Day. There were no cheers of excitement, but I didn't care. It was bad. Real bad. So bad … [Read more...]
De-Mudding Windows (When “Cleaning Windows” Just Isn’t Descriptive Enough)
This post about cleaning my amazingly-scary windows is sponsored by Bounty DuraTowel. There’s window washing, and there’s window de-mudding. We have this certain room in our house. It’s a room, but not a room. Basically, it’s an enclosed porch that doesn’t stay enclosed because we leave one of the windows open for the dog to hop in … [Read more...]
3 Slow Cooker Recipes for Summer
I love to turn to my crockpot for help in the summer. Not only does it keep me from heating up the kitchen (and the entire house), using my slow cooker is the best way I've found to serve decent meals in the summer since we usually get in from the pool right before dinnertime. Here are some of our favorite slow cooker recipes: Crockpot BBQ … [Read more...]
Shadazzle Natural Multi-Purpose Cleaner Review
Sometimes a girl (even one who likes natural cleaners) needs more than a little vinegar. I was recently sent some Shadazzle to review. (A paid review, for the record.) Yes. I said Shadazzle. Actually, I'll say it again since it's rather fun to say, don’t you think? Shadazzle is a clay-based multi-purpose cleaner and polisher. I had … [Read more...]
Random Summer Update #2
Another week of summer down, and this one was crazy. I did laundry, ran the dishwasher at least once, and went to a movie at the 50 cent theater where something with six legs ran over my flip-flopped feet. Yes. For real. And yes, I did say I ran the dishwasher once. But in my defense, I left town on Wednesday morning for the Savvy … [Read more...]
