See that green bumpy bubble at the bottom left of that magazine cover? Well, that article includes a quote from me! How cool is that? The Spring 2016 issue of Better Homes and Gardens Storage magazine is on sale now through March 29th! Here's a peek at my BHG debut: There's a typo in this (it wasn't in the quote I sent), but I'm hoping … [Read more...]
Reason to Throw Something Away: It’s Gross
I have such great memories of Christmas candies at my grandparents' homes. Brightly colored, never seen in the home of anyone that wasn't a grandma, and still there at Easter even though hoards of grandchildren and great-grandchildren had paraded past the candy dish for months. So, when I saw a package while I was in a spendy mood anyway before … [Read more...]
Non-Expandable Cabinets (Boo!) & Making It Fit
My cabinets don't expand. Boo. I know this is more than obvious to the average person who briefly considers any cabinet made of wood, but my actions show I assume my cabinets must be made of stretchy material. In an attempt to work through my ever-re-appearing clutter and make a visible impact on my home, I went through my house mouthing and … [Read more...]

I didn't want to make a mistake. Decluttering decisions weighed heavily on me, and that stress made me put off decluttering way longer than I should have. But once I … [Read more...]
Struggling Daily with My Daily Struggles
My alarm went off at 4:45 this morning. I wasn't surprised because I turned it on last night. I scrolled to the very top of my alarm app/whatever-it's-called on my phone and slid it on. Just like I do (almost) every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. For three glorious weeks, my workout group, Camp Gladiator, had been on break. Sure, there were … [Read more...]
