I cleaned out my pantry today. Honestly, I didn't think it was that bad. It's not very full. Since I'm not couponing like I once did, it's hard to be motivated to do a big overhaul of the pantry. Everything can be seen at a glance because there's so little there. But alas, I was motivated once again by . . . bugs. After I cleaned out … [Read more...]
My House . . . My Hair . . . Same Issues
I got my hair cut and colored yesterday. Having a new haircut and roots that actually match the ends of my hair . . . feels sooooo good. I'm pretty sure I walked a little taller today, put a bit more care into my make-up, and had an easier time remembering to suck in my tummy. When someone this morning at my Bible study commented on how … [Read more...]
It’s a Good Thing I Like Roller Coasters
I'm glad I'm a thrill-ride kind of girl who enjoys ups and downs and stomach-floaty moments. Because this Slob in Recovery thing could really get to me if I wasn't. I know it's good to celebrate progress. I know it's good to enjoy the changes that I've already made. But perhaps . . . perhaps . . . . the part of my brain that was able to … [Read more...]
Clue #2 in The Messy Master Bedroom Mystery
We/I have too many clothes. I've known this, and the first clue in the Messy Master Bedroom Mystery was related to this concept as well. But I had a slap-in-the-face moment this morning when I went looking for baskets. See, I'm trying a new method. Not new as in earth-shattering-no-one-has-ever-thought-of-it-before, but new as in … [Read more...]

Friday’s Dusting Is Good Enough
A big part of this deslobification process is dealing with my tendency to make things harder than they need to be. Sometimes it's imagining a project to be larger and more time-consuming than it should be. Sometimes it's putting something small off, for no real reason, only to have it turn into something large. Sometimes it's not knowing, or … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday – The "What’s on Sale?" Edition
I know that every week should be planned around what's on sale, but I've been falling off the smart-shopper-wagon lately. Since coupon-ing isn't really fitting into my schedule this year, the cupboards are not as well stocked as I like them to be. And . . . . when our local newspaper subscription ran out, we didn't renew it since I'm not going … [Read more...]
How to Hang Your Shower Curtain Up to Dry
Ummmm . . . . just hang it up. Like, in the shower. Y'know, where it goes. I washed my shower curtain this week. I'm thinking that the fact that I experienced a few moments of oh-where-am-I-going-to-hang-this-big-old-thing-up-to-dry-where-it-won't-be-in-the-way-and-knowing-me-I'll-end-up-leaving-it-there-for-months panic . . . means … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist and a Success Report
Today was busy. I'm trying to write quickly before running out to pick up kids and head to the park. But, I:Made bed.Emptied dishwasher.Did a 5 minute pick-up. Dusted. (Because it's Friday.)Vacuumed. (Because it's Friday.)Go me! And I have to report that after two weeks of being more focused on my daily checklist, I'm … [Read more...]
