As you know, I'm having a garage sale soon. Hopefully this Saturday. One good reason to have a garage sale is that it helps me look at my house in a different way. I suddenly see things that have long been invisible. Like this LeapFrog fridge set. My fridge has been covered in those letters for YEARS. Not just 26 letters, either. I … [Read more...]
Decluttering
Decluttering is the foundation to transforming your home. But don't be afraid! We can start small.
Empty Cabinets? Really?
Well, it looks like I won't be having that garage sale this weekend. I did sweat and grunt and declutter and grumble this morning, and even went so far as to park the Suburban on the driveway and set up tables in the garage. But alas, as some other things are weighing heavily on my mind (two upcoming speaking engagements), I decided I would put … [Read more...]
Why I’m Having a Garage Sale
I'm writing this, wondering if I'll actually be able to make it happen this week. I've shared that I'm planning to have a garage sale, and thought I'd share the reasons I'm choosing to put myself and my family through the torture. Honestly, I've come to a point where I prefer the Consistent Donating Method over the Collect and Sell in One … [Read more...]
The Post with Ambiguous Pictures
I'm having a garage sale. Soon. Last week, I really thought that I would somehow get it together for tomorrow. Har-dee-har-har-har! Ohhhhh, let me catch my breath! OK. Yeah . . . that's not going to happen. Anyway, last week I cleaned out THE CABINET. The Last Resort Cabinet. It's where all of the things I've decluttered over … [Read more...]
March Decluttering Report
It's the end of March. How exactly did that happen? Since it's Friday, I'll go ahead and report on my decluttering efforts for the month even though there's a whole day left. (If I happen to declutter something tomorrow, I'll add it to next month's report.) My decluttering progress: I JUST DECLUTTERED in the boys' room. No … [Read more...]
One Good Excuse: Maintaining the Illusion
We do Santa. We're not die-hard put-footprints-on-the-roof types, but we love the excitement of going to bed on Christmas Eve wondering what we'll find when we get up in the morning. My 8yo straight-out asked me last Christmas Eve if Santa was real (he'd lived in denial for several years), and so now my five-year-old is the only one who … [Read more...]
One Drawer. Two drawers. Whatever.
It's been a busy week, and after the 90-minute transformation of my master bedroom . . . I really didn't feel like decluttering any more this week. At all. But then I remembered Simple Mom's Project Simplify and checked what the area of focus was for this week. Closets, drawers, and counters. I kind of took it as an "or drawers" … [Read more...]
How to De clutter: Sorting
I've learned a thing or two (or twenty) about how to de clutter. Unfortunately, I also seem to be pretty good at re-cluttering. Anyway, I've mentioned this "technique" in many of my posts, webisodes, and talks about decluttering . . . but I've never given it its own "How To" post. I have to keep decluttering as simple as … [Read more...]
February Decluttering Update
Oh. One thing I didn't mention in my Gameroom Reveal post yesterday (that might have made a slight difference in the overall look of the room . . . ) was that I emptied the Donate Spot. Yes. I do believe it made a difference. I actually cleared it … [Read more...]
