Those are Barbie Valentines. The extra four or five that we didn’t need. I’m overly proud of myself for throwing them in the trash on February 15th. A few weeks ago, I had lunch at a restaurant with my best friend. (Yes, I realize this SEEMS to be a totally unrelated story.) There was a mix-up with the check, and they had to re-do it and … [Read more...]
Decluttering
Decluttering is the foundation to transforming your home. But don't be afraid! We can start small.
Big Things Going On in the Gameroom
Did you notice how I called it "The Gameroom" without any slashes, parentheses, or other explanation? I'm doing my best to start thinking of this as a single purpose room that can adjust to other purposes when needed. This is the second week of work on this room-overhaul, and I'm ready to see some real progress. Last week's frustrating … [Read more...]
Proof in the Clock
So I'm focusing on my gameroom this month. I re-arranged the furniture yesterday, hated it . . . and then felt a little annoyed when my kids and husband thought it was wonderful. I know. I have issues. Thanks for all of your encouraging comments on that post. And for your understanding. I'm guessing the annoyance came from my desire to … [Read more...]

How to Declutter – Should I Sell This on Ebay?
Honestly, I have many fond feelings toward eBay. There was a double-house-payment period in our lives when we had NO extra money. I managed to make 40$ per week during that year, and we used the money to go out to eat on the weekends. In a difficult time . . . that 40$ was huge. Honestly, I have many fond feelings toward eBay. There was … [Read more...]
Extreme Decluttering – And Come Link Up Your Decluttering Post!
Technically, this post should be a report on what I decluttered in December. But that was so last year. For some reason, I have no desire to even go look at my decluttering category. Not sure where this defiant attitude is coming from . . . but I'm just in the mood to look forward. To what I'm doing right now. And what I'm doing right … [Read more...]
Christmas Motivated Decluttering
I had fun with the jcpenney Secret Santa project this year. When we were asked to provide gift suggestions for our Secret Santas, I headed over to the website, and immediately fell in love with a set of stainless cookware that I ended up getting. Part of what made me love it was the fact that there were so . . . many . . . pieces. I might only … [Read more...]
Decluttering
Decluttering never ends. Ever. While daily habits are key to keeping my home under control, decluttering makes real progress possible. A daily pick-up can only help so much when there’s just . . . too . . . much . . . stuff. Below, I've shared links to posts about the decluttering strategies I've developed over the years by working to … [Read more...]
The “Surely” Reasoning
Such a cute little container, right? Surely I could find something to do with it next year . . . right? Surely. Except that I don't have a spot for these surelies. And I generally find these types of saved containers right after I give the gift that would have fit perfectly in them. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all about … [Read more...]
