I don't think I've mentioned that back in October, Hubby and I started "a Whole 30." Whole 30 is an eating plan where you eliminate certain categories of foods for 30 days. After the 30 days, you methodically add foods back in to see how your body reacts and how you feel. The goal isn't weight loss, but weight loss has been a lovely side-effect … [Read more...]
What helped you finally realize that your house isn’t a project?
For most of my adult life, I treated housekeeping as a project without realizing that was what I was doing.

Replacing (Not Just Adding to) My Dishes
I'm good on dishes. Meaning, we have what we need. And "what we need" is a whole lot less than what I used to think we needed. After years of believing in my heart-of-slob-hearts that my real problem was that I didn't have enough plates or cups or bowls, I realized I was wrong. Once I started to trust myself to actually wash my dishes … [Read more...]
