This really doesn't have much to do with this post . . . but I'm still baffled that my kitchen could go from pretty-much-company-ready to this: In less than six hours. Now for my real point. It's the last day of the third week of my new all-the-kids-are-now-in-school life. I'm still trying to figure things out. The second week … [Read more...]
Not ONE Thing Allowed on the Dining Room Table
I've cleaned off the dining room table . . . so . . . many . . . times. Thankfully, the room as a whole has never gotten as bad as it was pre-blog, but it makes me crazy that the table collects clutter the way it does. (Bad table.) Anyway, as I re-decluttered in my latest webisode, I realized that I need to make two personal … [Read more...]
One More Delusion Bites the Dust
It's no secret that I don't love dusting.  It drops to the bottom of the to do list whenever anything more exciting comes along. So, with the craziness and general checklist-failure of the summer, I ignored it and didn't even feel guilty. I convinced myself that a swipe here and there before guests came over was enough. I told myself that … [Read more...]
Disinfecting Doorknobs
The stomach bug from You-Know-Where hit our family this weekend. My kindergartener brought it home and by Monday morning, all three kids had blessed the floors, various tables, the Suburban, puke buckets, and occasionally . . . . a toilet with all sorts of loveliness. My kids are generally pretty good at making it to the bathroom, which means … [Read more...]
How to Make Jello Cake – My Absolute Favorite!
I don't make cakes very often. I really don't bake much at all. Not that I don't enjoy baking. I just enjoy the eating part too much. I. Love. Cake. A choice between cake and pie is a no-brainer. But alas, as you may know, I'm allergic to chocolate. Which is bad enough, but I've only been allergic to it since college. Which … [Read more...]
Re-Decluttering the Linen Closet (Includes Webisode #2!)
This is my linen closet. Even with the door shut, my slob-problems make themselves known. But comparatively, that's nothing. Nothing compared to the open-the-door-and-let-the-world-see shot. Blankets are my excuse. The last time I decluttered this same-exact-space, the blankets were moved to a different storage space. Obviously, … [Read more...]
I Went Shopping!
I'm excited to be one of Allyou.com's What's In Store? writers. My first column was published today. It's fun to write about shopping as a change of pace! Go check it out. (Sorry, note from the future, it doesn't exist anymore!) I LOVE All You Magazine! … [Read more...]
Creating a Schedule for the New Normal
My first six weeks as a mother weren't exactly blissful. With feeding problems and an exceptionally-gifted-with-amazing-volume baby, my world had officially been rocked by this motherhood thing. By the three month mark, however, I had it together. He had figured out how to eat, was sleeping through the night, and I had even (successfully) … [Read more...]
August’s Decluttering Update – Come Join In!
I got a little bumfuzzled when I typed August just now. Aren't we heading into August? We couldn't possibly be coming out of it! And that, folks, describes my summer. It's also my excuse for why there's only one post in my decluttering category for August. Thankfully, it was a doozie, and included my first webisode. I'm also including … [Read more...]
