Decluttering Clothes (Even Good Ones)

By 16 Comments

Over the weekend, I decluttered my closet. It's significantly more usable now. Yay for more usable. I decided to use my beloved (referral link alert) velvet hangers as the deciding factor when choosing which clothes should stay and which clothes should go.

One Lid, and One Alone

By 8 Comments

Once upon a time, a woman had many lids. One for each of most of her pots. And all those lids lived in a tiny corner at the very back of her kitchen cabinet.

I don't show pics of my kids' rooms anymore (since they're old now and their rooms are their personal spaces and all), but I'll show you a photo of something I got rid of. Finally. After … [Read more...]

Predicting the Future (Clutter)

By 6 Comments

Isn't predicting the future the biggest wish for those of us who struggle with clutter? But it isn't (technically) possible. So my default answer to the question, "Will I need this someday?" was always maybe. And my house filled up with maybes. But 55-90% of the time, those maybes should have been nos.
