About four years ago, I got stainless steel appliances. I love them, but they are definitely hard to clean. To clarify, though, I'm not one to notice little smudges here and there so all appliances of any finish or color or type are "hard to clean" for me. I generally don't see any issues until I know a guest is on her way. For the first … [Read more...]
Another Favorite Delusion: Tomorrow, I’ll Be a Potato Farmer
Oh my word, y'all. I abound with delusions. All sorts of them. Someday, I'll be crafty, efficient, excited to exercise, and who knows what else. When these potatoes started sprouting, it seemed like a great idea to hold onto them and start potato farming. I mean, I saw an instructional video years ago that sounded like it was super easy and … [Read more...]
Decluttering Duhs: The Stink Test
I loved these shoes. Loved them. Hubby gave them to me for Christmas a year and a half ago. Somehow, he knew exactly what I wanted. (Maybe because I ordered them myself.) I bought them before we spent Christmas at Disney World because I knew there might be capri days. Y'know. Days when it was too cool for shorts but too warm for long … [Read more...]

Like duct tape that had obviously been sent through the washing machine. Let's … [Read more...]
Routines Before Kid Training
It's Monday morning. At 9:12, I'm just now getting to work. I already feel behind. Last week threw me some curveballs, so the days I thought would be spent getting ahead on this blogging gig were spent doing crazy things that seem to randomly come up with this book-publishing thing I've committed to do. And then Mother's Day. We spent it with … [Read more...]
Real Progress: No Panic at the Thought of Opening the Door!
I LOVE this success story from one of you! I just wanted to thank you for all of your inspiration and help through your blog! I have been decluttering since last August/September, and I am working on getting into a better routine of cleaning (now that there's not so much STUFF in the way!). I still have a ways to go, but I was able to see real … [Read more...]

The Great Thing About an Empty Sink
I'm going to sneak an affiliate link in here. You've been warned. I’m not really sure how it happens (again and again and again). And I’m really not sure why the people who make refillable-for-a-discount stuff for movie theaters, amusement parks, etc. can’t make them out of something I could stick in the dishwasher. Anything that holds … [Read more...]
