Last week, I shared my One Shelf Project from the week before. The project that I had desperately hoped was just a small piece of the big picture.

Decluttering
Decluttering is the foundation to transforming your home. But don't be afraid! We can start small.
Words I Love that Don’t Love Me
I love the word versatile. It doesn't love me. This one-sided relationship results in me dumping all sorts of things in my exceptionally versatile office/game-room/guest-room. SO many things can justifiably be dumped in one of those three rooms. And when those three rooms are really one big room, the results are not good. Oh, and I … [Read more...]
November ’11 Decluttering Update
It's hard to believe that November is over and that the next time I do a decluttering update it will be 2012. Weren't we supposed to have flying cars and robot maids by now? Confession: I didn't do a whole lot of decluttering in November. And I'm feeling that panic in my chest. That seriously-I'm-just-going-to-throw-it-ALL-away … [Read more...]
Is Clutter Stealing Your Holiday Spirit?
So many of my favorite childhood memories have a Christmas tree or a candy cane in the background of the picture that exists in my mind. As a mom, I ache to create the same kinds of Memory Tableaus for my own chi ldren. But if you’ve ever shoved clutter out of the way to capture a magical moment with your camera (only to see a … [Read more...]
Oops. I Guess It’s Time To Clean Out that Drawer
Last Friday night, as hubby was lovingly frying fish for dinner, he asked for tongs. Right at the moment when he needed them. I decided to not be irritated since I would do the exact same thing. Of course, it so happened that I had used the tongs to cook supper the night before and then left immediately for a rehearsal. Which meant I … [Read more...]
How to Prioritize Decluttering Projects
We all know I have issues, right? Good. Yesterday, I expressed frustration over the past crazy month and how my over-committing-motormouth caused life to get crazy which naturally means the house gets scary. Whenever the house starts spiraling out of control, my Slob Brain does this strange thing. As the panicky … [Read more...]
October’s Decluttering Update
No lie. I just typed "August's Decl" and then caught myself. Time Passage Awareness? Not really my thing. And evidently, putting posts in my decluttering category when doing a month of details really isn't my thing either. But . . . since I decluttered my Donation Spot at the end of September, I was able to take a picture of what's in it … [Read more...]
Detail First (Or Not at All)
My Father-in-Law is coming to spend the night tomorrow night. Our house is just a place to sleep between the events of his high school reunion nearby. I'm happy that we can provide a place for him. But I'm also a little panicked that he's coming . . . tomorrow! I keep holding out hope that life's craziness will decrease soon. I thought it … [Read more...]
Decluttering My Breakfast Nook – With Webisode
Today the detail I tackled, was wiping down the counter in my breakfast nook. Sounds simple, right? It's something that should take . . . oh . . . about 2 minutes. But instead it took twenty. Since, y'know, I had to declutter first. Mostly, I threw away trash. Ads, coupons, spelling tests . . . all went straight into the … [Read more...]
