I’ve been having a blinking problem lately. Every time I blink, my boys seem to change. There’s nothing gradual about it, and their stairstep ages (20 months apart) doesn’t seem to spread it out at all. They’re neck and neck (literally) in the game of Who’s the Tallest? Over the summer, constant reassurance was necessary, many back-to-back … [Read more...]
Decluttering
Decluttering is the foundation to transforming your home. But don't be afraid! We can start small.
$110 Bucks Worth of Clutter!!!
Nony here: I loved this email from one of you. I'd love to hear what you have laying around waiting to be returned! Dear Nony, Let me start by saying....I am really bad about returning items. I (or hubby) will purchase things, get home, find they don't work for what we needed/don't like it, blah blah. So I'm just like, Oh well. Put it over … [Read more...]
When Straightening Takes a Decluttering Turn
Viewing every random straightening task as a full blown decluttering project. That’s ONE of my problems. As my Slob Vision cleared while I got the kitchen out of Summer Survival Mode, I shook my head and realized the spread-out-edness of all the stuff on the kitchen cabinet might be contributing to the overall messiness of the … [Read more...]
When It’s FINALLY Obvious That It’s Time to Let Go
I was so proud of this thing when I bought it. I found it at Costco, but it wasn't cheap. There also weren't multiple options like there might have been if I'd gone looking for a salad spinning thingy in a regular store. But I wasn't looking. I just saw it in front of my face and the proximity alone reminded me how desperately I'd been … [Read more...]
I’ll Just Have to Do That! (One of these days)
Oh, how I love a good idea. Maybe I love ideas more than solutions. Sometimes I consider something an "idea" when it's really a solution that I'm not implementing right that minute. Which could be called procrastination. Like this light-thingy. I ran across it while decluttering. It's cute and useful and someone gave it to one of … [Read more...]
Need a Win? Grab a Trash Bag!
Summer is over. As I sit here in my eerily quiet house, I'm back to blogging. So far, "blogging" has involved a phone call which moves me one step closer to making a very exciting announcement. It has also included starting (but not finishing) several different posts that have been rolling around in my head over the summer. But alas, I want to … [Read more...]
Less.
Continuing my Saturday challenge of doing Two Things at some point in a busy day, I decided to tackle my Junk Drawers. Remember them? I decluttered them long ago, in this post where I first came up with my two decluttering questions. They needed re-decluttering. Oh boy, did they. My clue that it was time was not so subtle. When you … [Read more...]
The Next Saturday: Decluttering Two (Or Three) More Things
It was the next Saturday. I had another small pocket of unclaimed time, and I decided to try my Two Things strategy again. This time, I followed my Visibility Rule the way it's supposed to be followed. Don't declutter something guests will never see. Declutter something out in the open that I've stopped seeing. Like this: My … [Read more...]
How Many Do I Need? Not that many.
I think about this question. I get asked this question. But any decluttering progress I've made has NOT been because I had an answer to this question. The best answer is simply, "Less." I need less. Or fewer. Whichever is grammatically correct for the situation. Less refers to something that can't be counted. Fewer is used when there … [Read more...]
