Last Monday, as I was trying to get ahead on posts so I could take this week off for Spring Break with my family, I checked my email. Right there in my inbox was an email from Erin. It was probably the most creative email I've ever had, and I immediately replied and asked if I could publish it as a guest post. It's creative, it's … [Read more...]
I JUST decluttered. That’s it.
A few weeks ago, I was attending a Harlem Globetrotters reenactment. The reenactment took place in my boys' room, and it was in the midst of the show that I finally grasped what was really going on during those moments when the answer to my yelled-across-the-house questions of "WHAT are you doing in there?" was a simple, "We're just playing … [Read more...]
Sometimes, Storing Stuff for Later is a Good Thing
In the Gameroom Saga, Amy mentioned in the comments that a rug would help pull the room together. I just happened to have one! And I actually knew where it was! And . . . it had been stored perfectly so I could pull it right out and use it! I should probably mention here that the storing-perfectly wasn't really something I … [Read more...]
What the Grandmas are Talking About
This is what the Grandmas are talking about. Y'know, the well-meaning Grandmas who (when I complain of my messy home) assure me that I'll miss the mess someday? I know their hearts are right and they're speaking out of wisdom gained from experience, but I do doubt that they truly understand what "messy" means to me. I absolutely will … [Read more...]
My New Laundry Tactic
MY new tactic. I'm pretty sure those why-would-anyone-do-it-another-way-when-this-way-makes-sense types have been doing this since the invention of dryers. Once upon a time, I owned quite a collection of laundry baskets. They represented my dreams of an organized laundry system that would make it possible to never have to peek around the … [Read more...]
Ten Things I Learned in our Two Weeks of All Veggies
I'm going to eat a bowl of Cheerios tomorrow morning! If you read last week's menu plan or were part of the dinnertime discussions on my Facebook page last week, perhaps you understand what a big deal that is. Today (Sunday) is the last day of our two-week Crazy Diet/Liver Cleanse/Horrible Thing I Thought Would Never Be Over. For the past … [Read more...]
February Decluttering Update
Oh. One thing I didn't mention in my Gameroom Reveal post yesterday (that might have made a slight difference in the overall look of the room . . . ) was that I emptied the Donate Spot. Yes. I do believe it made a difference. I actually cleared it … [Read more...]
The Big Stuff is Done! (Gameroom Update)
I started out behind on the February Organizing Challenge over at Org Junkie. My first post was written on Feb 2nd, and the challenge started on the first. I feel like everything I did throughout the month for the challenge was a last-minute struggle and was always the minimal amount I could justify doing. And yet, here at the end . . . I'm … [Read more...]
The Desk is GONE(ish)!
A few minutes ago, I headed over to read the rules for the final link-up in the 29 Day Organizing Challenge at Org Junkie. I was in a rather bad mood that I had to hurry and write a post about an unfinished project before this (crazy and busy) month ends in a few hours. I stopped reading after I saw #7. "Your deadline for adding your entry … [Read more...]
