Self-aware confession #1: I have no idea what the Space Time Continuum is. I don't even know if it's a real science thing or if it's something I heard on one of the less-than-eleven episodes of Star Trek I ever watched. It just sounds good for what I want to write about in this post. Self-aware confession #2: I'm a logical person. I … [Read more...]
Drawing On Past Clutter Experience
We have a BIG Box O' Clutter ready for our next drive-by pick-up. At the top are our still-pretty-new, still-fit, still-in-good-shape uniforms from the basketball season that ended a little over a month ago. I used to save these perfectly good uniforms. In my mind, the basketball shorts and shirts should have been perfect for wearing in the … [Read more...]
Why Can’t Bathrooms Stay Clean?
I cleaned bathrooms Tuesday morning. Really, I did. I didn't do a major scrub-down, but I resisted the urge to assume that since I did a big-clean last week, and a once-over on Saturday, they should still be clean. Bathrooms don't stay clean. I know. It makes me mad, too. Have you read my 28 Days e-book? In case you haven't, here's … [Read more...]
Invisible Clutter
I have Slob Vision. I do a lot to combat it, but I still am amazed at the things I suddenly see when I'm doing a deeper clean than usual. Like this coffee-can art: I go back and forth between keeping coffee cans and pitching them, but I honestly didn't realize they were stacked up in this corner of the kitchen. Salvaged water … [Read more...]
Missing the Bad Ol’ Days
Last week I recovered my home from two (or more) weeks of neglect. I used to do this all the time, as it was the only way I ever really cleaned, picked-up, decluttered, whatever. So I was struck by the difference. It's not as huge of a deal as it used to be. I used my daily checklist and weekly cleaning tasks to keep my pace instead of … [Read more...]
The Party Was a Success!
I took a nap today. And I didn't feel one teeny-tiny bit bad about that. Thanks for the encouragement last week as I tackled Project Home Recovery. Friday was spent vacuuming and party prepping. Have I ever mentioned how much I love throwing parties? Evidently, I've passed that love down to my daughter. She didn't just want … [Read more...]
Hunger is a Real Enemy
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walmart for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Hunger is a real issue in our community. Probably in most communities. This year, our school district began serving breakfast to ALL students in the classrooms, every morning. My kids think it's awesome. I didn't think … [Read more...]
Day Four – Everything BUT Vacuuming
Do you talk to yourself while you clean? Oh. Me neither. But if I did, today my constant reminder to myself would have been, "Everything but vacuuming." At first, I planned to vacuum. But then I got going, and decided I would leave it for tomorrow. Somehow that helped keep me on track. Every time I would think about waiting until tomorrow … [Read more...]
Project Home Recovery: Day Three
It's Day Three of Project Home Recovery. I've officially passed the halfway point between oh-my-word-I'm-really-going-to-host-a-party-on-SATURDAY? and let-them-in-the-front-door. I spent today going to Bible Study, running errands and gathering party supplies. After I picked up the kids from school, my daughter and I (once again) tackled … [Read more...]
