Here are a few more bloggers whom I met at the Savvy Blogging Summit: Catherine at Frugal Homemaker Plus is not a slob, but is a kindred spirit. Kay Lynn blogs at Bucksome Boomer's Journey to Retirement. Get it? Bucksome? Say it out loud. Now do you get it? LOVE that. Coupons, Deals, and More is quite the sassy lady, which is … [Read more...]
Focus Check Friday – Finally a Little Progress
Last week I declared that I was going to enjoy the final weeks of summer . . . and I am. We had errands/fun-things-to-do on the three days designated for specific cleaning tasks, and the one morning we were home was spent catching up. But I did make some progress. Little projects like my shoe-pile-clean-up and the dining room table … [Read more...]
Freezer Cooking in a Hurry – And A Plan to Do Better This Month
I have missed out on participating in the last two Freezer Cooking Days that Money Saving Mom and Life as Mom do monthly. But that doesn't mean I haven't done anything! Early in the summer, I purchased multiple pounds of ground beef and chicken breasts on sale. I had great intentions to cook them up like I usually do, but with summer and … [Read more...]
A Couple of Quick After-Swim Meal Ideas
Our local pool is open from noon to 6 p.m. This means that my ideal day of swimming in the morning and chilling in the afternoon isn't possible. Generally, we plan to swim until a certain time, and then about 10 minutes before that time, someone's bestest friend in the whole wide world arrives . . . and we stay another hour. I'm not … [Read more...]
Inspiring Myself
One of my biggest slob-problems is my love of Inspiration Based Cleaning. I want to wait until I feel inspired, but since that rarely happens, the house gets more and more cluttered, and inspiration becomes more and more difficult to find. Yesterday, I shared Monday's shoe-pile project. It was Non-Inspiration Based Cleaning, just a total … [Read more...]
Changing the Scenery
I've been looking at this pile of shoes . . . pretty much all summer. Every time I see it, it irritates me. Every time I see it and my brain acknowleges that I see it, it REALLY irritates me. I've tripped over it. I've sorted through it to find the shoes I needed. I've disliked it. I've dreamed of the day when I'd have time to fix … [Read more...]
Hurry, Lock the Door . . . the Babysitter’s Coming!
We don't hire babysitters very often. I have many excuses, and all are legit. But when it comes down to it . . . the thing that makes me desperately go through all other childcare possibilities is . . . the fear of leaving someone alone in my house. Not that I'm worried about them endangering my children or stealing money or going for a … [Read more...]
July Decluttering Update – What There Is of One
I'm getting the decluttering itch . . . the desire to see some progress. I'm learning that I may need to be constantly in decluttering mode if I'm ever to cure my selective vision problem. If I'm taking a break from getting rid of clutter, it seems that I'm also taking a break from even seeing it pile up. Grrr. But, thankfully, I did have a … [Read more...]
