I love a bargain. The thrill of getting a week's worth of clothes for less than I'd pay for one outfit makes me giddy. Sometimes so giddy that I justify getting six weeks worth of clothes. Which we totally don't need. It seems fun at the thrift store, but ends up being a curse when our dresser drawers won't close. Since clutter (even … [Read more...]
Chore Charts, Values for Girls, Photography and Crock Pots
I really debated writing this final post about the Ultimate Homemaking E-book Bundle.   I'm sorry.  This sale is now over. Really, I don't love selling (not that you'd know from this past week), and I've been amazed at how many of you have purchased. I've already made enough in affiliate commissions to make this sale worth my time, so I'd … [Read more...]
Tell ‘Em Mama Does Laundry on Mondays
A few weeks ago, my daughter came home in some odd-fitting uniform slacks. Honestly, though, as a not-so-terribly-observant-about-such-things mother, it didn't really register until she handed me a plastic shopping bag full of clothes to wash. Then she proceeded to tell me how there had been an unfortunate accident at school. I knew that … [Read more...]
Whatever Works
When I speak to Moms' groups, I go through the whole scenario of how running the dishwasher every single night is a non-negotiable for me. About how I've taken the decision-making-pressure out of it. I have a lot of fun acting out my surprise when I look into the sink and see it's completely full of dirty dishes, when the last time I noticed it … [Read more...]
Busted for One of My Clutter Tricks
Blech. This was my kitchen floor last week. Unfortunately, it looked like this the week before, too. (With a slightly different arrangement . . . ) It's possible (as I do believe I admitted) that I didn't actually declutter our paper graveyard for my daughter's birthday party . . . but stuffed it instead. Into the cabinet below. As … [Read more...]

THE Hardest Spot to Clean in All the House
(This is a sponsored post. Basically, I'm getting paid to clean a spot I avoid cleaning. Yes, I get the irony.) It's spring. Which means . . . it's time to spring clean. There were many years when I just didn't spring clean. I was barely surviving under all my clutter, so the big, easy-to-neglect cleaning projects were put off … [Read more...]
Ready? Or Ready to Get Ready?
That picture is of my dining room table on Monday afternoon. The day before, I cleared it of all "stuff" so it would be ready to be used Sunday night for our church's home group that meets here. I cleared it, I wiped it off, and I was done. People brought food, and obviously bits and pieces and smears got on the table. It happens. But … [Read more...]
