If you're new around here, you might not know that I'm also a germaphobe. It doesn't make sense, I know. You can read that post linked above to see my attempt to explain. Anyway, as someone who has unintentionally dieted after seeing a not-guaranteed-to-be-perfectly-sanitized hand reach into a bag of my favorite chips or candy . . . I like to … [Read more...]
One Drawer. Two drawers. Whatever.
It's been a busy week, and after the 90-minute transformation of my master bedroom . . . I really didn't feel like decluttering any more this week. At all. But then I remembered Simple Mom's Project Simplify and checked what the area of focus was for this week. Closets, drawers, and counters. I kind of took it as an "or drawers" … [Read more...]
Never Assume You Know What’s at the Bottom of the Pile
I shared my master bedroom transformation yesterday. I just want to say . . . thank you for your support and understanding. I often hear from readers who are so relieved to know they're not the only one, but honestly . . . . it's still a huge relief for me to hear that too. The picture above is one of the before photos. It's of three … [Read more...]
90 Minute Master Bedroom Transformation
Ninety Minutes. That's it. Just 90 minutes. After that much time (an hour and twenty-five minutes and eleven-point-seven seconds), my master bedroom looked like this: Maybe that seems like a lot of time considering the fact that the dresser is still piled with stuff. Just wait. I'll show you the … [Read more...]
How to De clutter: Sorting
I've learned a thing or two (or twenty) about how to de clutter. Unfortunately, I also seem to be pretty good at re-cluttering. Anyway, I've mentioned this "technique" in many of my posts, webisodes, and talks about decluttering . . . but I've never given it its own "How To" post. I have to keep decluttering as simple as … [Read more...]
Quick (But Awesome!) Parmesan Bread
I don't serve bread every time we have spaghetti, but if I'm in the mood for some loudly-proclaimed-expressions-of-love-and-appreciation, I know that some kind of buttery bread will always do the trick. This "recipe" is one of our favorites. And it's quick. And easy. A win-win-win. Ingredients: One (or two) cans of biscuits 1/4 … [Read more...]
Things I’ve Written Around the Web
Since I'm taking the week off for Spring Break, I thought I'd share links to some of my other writing projects around the web. Over at About One I've shared: Indoor Physical Activities for Kids Ways to Save When Dining Out with Your Family (Part One) How to Save EVERY Time You Dine Out (Part Two) At All You, I've shown off some … [Read more...]
Not proud, but not ashamed
I've mentioned our '97 Suburban many times. My love for that SUV is a special kind of love. As a chronic "hauler" of both stuff and children, it meets my needs like no other vehicle ever has. But I don't know that I've mentioned much about our other vehicle. And how it's also a '97. Yep, we have a pre-millenial Toyota Camry as well. As I … [Read more...]
Slob Vision Does Exist (I Have Proof!)
The first decluttering webisode I made was of my Kitchen Drawer Project. I had so much fun making it, but the real fits of laughter for hubby and I came from watching the outtakes. The outtakes PROVED what I have claimed for our entire twelve-year marriage: I truly do not see open cabinet doors. I do not choose to leave them open. There's … [Read more...]
