Notice that the title says “Where I Store Jeans” not “Where to Store Jeans.”
If anyone needs a pair of jeans, I know just where to look.
In the dryer.
Because that’s where they stay for most of the week.
I generally make jeans my last load for Laundry Day. They take longer to dry and so I’m not waiting on them to finish so I can dry another load.
Evidently I’m not waiting on them at all.
 I’ve been considering experimenting with my weekly task schedule. Even though it works well do one major task a day, I’m a little overwhelmed with other commitments right now and had wondered if I could double up some days to give myself a day off here and there. Not a day off for couch-sitting, […]
Read MoreI mentioned last week that for the first time ever, I received a notice that a charity organization was going to be collecting donations in my neighborhood. I live in a small town, and things like that aren’t as common here as they are in some larger cities. I was so excited. Anything to help […]
Read MoreThe holidays are pretty much here. I’m guessing that there are very few people who host holiday gatherings without feeling any stress at all. And if your home is messy (or worse than messy), you’re probably already experiencing panic at the thought of getting it clean and ready for the guests who will ring your […]
Read MoreLast week, I did the Big Kitchen Scrub-Down. I didn’t take a before picture, because I didn’t think it would make that much of a difference. The issue we were dealing with was grime, not clutter, and would that even show up in a photo? I should have known better. First of all, the difference […]
Read MoreI’m a little stressed for time this week. Fitting in everything I need/want to do isn’t working out the way I planned. Generally, I do my cleaning and decluttering projects in the mornings. But this afternoon, I went against every fiber of my being and worked on the office some more. The office that was […]
Read MoreMy mother, the one who knows where to put EVERYthing, gave me a piece of advice many times through the years that really didn’t make any sense to me. She said to put my pajamas under my pillow to be worn the next night. Great trick . . . except that I rarely wore the […]
Read MoreWe had an idyllic weekend. Even though “technical difficulties” kept us from leaving when we wanted to, and meant that we only had one night away from home instead of two, it was a peaceful and relaxing weekend. We went to the lake, and the weather was beautiful. The kids played non-stop outside. Exercising their […]
Read MoreThat’s my bed . . . at this very moment. It’s scary looking, but could be much worse. I’m actually rather proud that those clothes are folded. I’m not putting off folding until the afternoon like I often do. Two more loads now, and every last stitch of clothing in the house will be ready […]
