I'm on a journey. Although in my 36 years, I have awakened many, many times with a resolve to change my slobbish ways . . . that resolve did little to clean my house. I had to clean it myself. And keep it clean. Learning skills and letting them build on one another is what has made the difference. For the first six months … [Read more...]
Letting Rhythm Rule
Rhythm. One of those things that I've begun to appreciate in a new way in this deslobification process. Though I am still far from being the woman who gets every tiny task done immediately because she can't stand the thought of letting them pile up, I do now grasp the concept of rhythm in housekeeping. Daily quick-sweeps of the kitchen are … [Read more...]
Decluttering the Great Outdoors
Saturday we tackled the backyard. It needed some major attention. Attention that I had been withholding for a very long time. If I can allow clutter to grow inside the house by using my Selective Vision, just imagine what I can do in my backyard. And out there . . . the growth isn't just a euphemism. Since the weather has turned cooler, … [Read more...]

Reminded that Maybe I Do Have Some Skills
I spent the morning working with a group of moms at my boys' school. Cutting, plating, wrapping, and putting desserts on trays for tonight's big fundraiser. I'm guessing at least 700 servings. I enjoy activities like this because I enjoy meeting and talking to other moms. I also, contrary to what one would think if they … [Read more...]

I love these posts. I love having a reason to look back over how far I've come in a month. Ok . . . I love it on months like this one. Not so … [Read more...]
Combining Glue Bottles So I Can Declutter My Desk So I Can . . .
. . . . install my new printer so I can print coupons so I can go grocery shopping so I can buy some cheese so I can cook supper tonight. Whew. I wanted this to be Project Week, but it's been pretty hit or miss. Today, I was spurred on by the fact that I need cheese for supper and would like to print some coupons before I go shopping and … [Read more...]
One of Those Days
It's been a normal, which means non-stop-busy, Wednesday. I'm feeling completely uninspired. But the kitchen is clean(ish), and my bed is made. Pre-blog, that would been something to jump up and down about, and would have been unheard of on a day like today. So, since I have nothing much to say, I thought I'd let you know (in case you … [Read more...]
Sometimes You Need to Sleep On It
Yesterday, I was in a bit of a mood. A never-have-enough-time-so-what's-the-point-of-trying-how-am-I-ever-going-to-kick-this-slob-thing mood. Sorry. It's my reality that sometimes the mess and/or clutter overwhelms me. I thought about completely giving up on the picture framing/storage thing. I thought about moving on to another of the … [Read more...]
