Is gunk a real word? Well, I guess it is. Since Firefox didn't put a red squiggly line under it. This tool scares me. Honestly, I never would have used it if I didn't take that trip to the Maytag headquarters last fall. The Queen of all Kitchen Knowledge told us to use this tool, and chastised us when we acted like chickens resisted. And … [Read more...]
Decluttering the Boys’ Room
In early January, I decluttered my boys' room. (Click through to the post if you're reading via email and can't see the video!) It's March, and I'm just now writing the post. The good news is that I can say with confidence that the rather extreme measures I took have had a lasting, positive effect. The vast majority of their floor … [Read more...]
Meet Tina of Girl Meets Globe
I'm glad to say I got everything done that was pressing on me this week. I figured out taxes and caught up on several drama-writing-related obligations. I'm not glad to say that today I don't feel so great. I had big plans of writing a decluttering post about my boys' room, but that will have to wait for Monday. But I did want to send you … [Read more...]
The Sixteen Year Old Me Would Be Horrified . . .
I remember myself as a delightful teenager. I suppose it is possible . . . though . . . that I wasn't. A still-dear friend once told me (years after high school) that she kept a journal of what she wore to church each week. She did this out of fear. She had heard me express disgust at the thought of someone wearing the same outfit two weeks … [Read more...]
Changing to a Real Food Diet?
I'm sorry. This bundle is no longer available. I've told myself I'm not going to stress about posting this week since I'm kind of in a stop-everything-and-get-those-taxes-done-or-else position right now. (Blogging is fun, doing taxes is not.) But when I remembered what this week's Bundle of the Week topic was, I thought I'd share … [Read more...]
Making Pancakes Over the Campfire
Is anyone going camping over Spring Break? We (kind of) are. We'll be at the lake, but with all the modern conveniences. I'll be honest. I wasn't going to worry about writing a post today since I'm determined to get my taxes done this week. (Yikes!) But then I saw a coupon for Bisquik and it reminded me of the BEST pancakes I've ever … [Read more...]
Playing Clutter Detective
I KNEW there were lunch bags left. The empty plastic bag they came in was right in front of me. And I had a vague memory of removing enough for at least that day. A vague memory from less than five minutes before. Side note: Please don't hate me for being un-green, but we use paper lunch sacks. It's a survival technique for this Slob … [Read more...]
Not That Bad
It's been one of those weeks. Monday the kids were off of school so we traveled an hour to spend the day with friends. Tuesday I was at the school all day helping count money for the upcoming fundraiser. Wednesday I went to Bible Study. So when Thursday arrived and I finally was able to be home, I spent the day catching up on writing … [Read more...]
The Slob Stereotype (Fighting It and Fitting It)
I find myself cringing when I hear the word "slob" being used. It's not used positively, and it's not supposed to be. The dictionary includes "an insult" as part of the definition. Pre-blog, I never cringed when I heard the word, but that was because I didn't think of myself as one. A big part of my process has been my dedication to … [Read more...]
