You'd think I was going to write about two different people who are on opposite ends of the adaptability spectrum. Nope. Just one person. Me. I'm on both ends. Lately, I've been whining about analyzing the effects of changes in my routine. My brain and body seem to physically resist the changes I'm forced to make. And yet . . . … [Read more...]
We Emptied the Trash Can . . . I Mean, Cleaned Out the Suburban
That’s Hubby and me. Pre-blog, that’s the reaction we always had when I’d say “I really think we should keep it this way!” after cleaning out the master bedroom, the garage, the living room, the closet . . . whatever. We rarely react that way anymore. This deslobification process is working, and even though my kitchen sink is currently full … [Read more...]
Menu Plan – 4-25-11
I didn’t do a menu plan last week. Actually, I did, But I didn’t post it. It wasn’t an oversight. I was a little embarrassed to put our meal-plan out there for the entire world to see. Mostly because we were at the end of the month’s grocery budget and I was determined to use up what was in the freezer and the pantry. Mostly casseroles … [Read more...]
It’s Friday!!!
Actually, it's Good Friday, and we've had a wonderful family day since the boys and hubby were out of school. We went to a nearby historical village, and my 7yo kept saying it was "like a field-trip, but even better because we're with our family!" Ummmm, music to this mommy's heart. Now that we're home I thought I'd do a quick update and … [Read more...]

Extra Touches or Just Part of the Job?
I've mentioned that I'm not a fan of change. With change, there's generally upheaval. And busy-ness. All of those things get my excuse-juices flowing. Freely. I can come up with some doozies. As I made supper yesterday, shuffling pots and moving bags and generally rearranging clutter so I could have a space in which to work, I … [Read more...]
How to Start Cleaning Up . . . When You Don’t Know Where to Start
Over the past few months, as I've gotten to the point where many areas of my home are under control more than they ever were pre-blog, I have started cleaning up and organizing areas that are particularly difficult. Areas where getting started is the hardest part. Like the Laundry Room. Or the playroom. If you're a regular reader, you've … [Read more...]
Monday – My Most Important Day of the Week
As I shared last week, my schedule has changed and I'm no longer home on Tuesday mornings. For all of my loosi-goosiness, I guess I'm also a schedule-lover because this change in routine makes me want to throw my hands up in the air and totally give up. But today, the second Monday of this new routine, I again cleaned the bathrooms in addition … [Read more...]
Things I Never Knew I Needed
In the months before I began this blog, as I was reaching a breaking point, I stopped going to garage sales. I didn't know what to do with the stuff that was in my house, and I knew that every time I went "garage saling" I came home with more stuff. I remember when I tried to do the Flylady thing, I was most horrified when she said that … [Read more...]
