It's 9:43. I said that I was going to post the June Decluttering Update, with a last minute purge of five No-Brainers . . . at 10:00. So here goes. Packaging. Of some sort. Part of a pirate play set that was rarely used. The rest of which was purged long ago. A broken souvenir shell necklace from Hawaii. I've never … [Read more...]
Decluttering
Decluttering is the foundation to transforming your home. But don't be afraid! We can start small.
A New Decluttering Question
In general, my two decluttering questions are sufficient. But last week, I came up with an additional question that I could use if I ever got stuck. If this item broke, would I replace it? You can probably tell from the picture above what helped me come up with this idea. After putting some dishes away, I (shocker of all shockers) … [Read more...]
Forging a New Path (Through the Clutter)
We've been back for less than three days, and I'm a little overwhelmed. Partly by the Vacation Recovery but also by the totally full calendar that hangs on my wall. While swimming lessons are messing with my rhythm this week, next week it will be VBS, and then Cousins' Camp, followed by the Savvy Blogging Summit, and then I'm directing the … [Read more...]
June is Today? What? – My Decluttering Update for May
Well, it has officially happened. The end of the month totally escaped my notice. I didn't warn anyone about the decluttering update going up, but I'm going to post my progress anyway. You can share your progress (or lack of progress) by linking up a blog post, or in the comments. My main motivation to declutter this month was my … [Read more...]
Motivated by Falling Objects
Sometimes you weigh various factors when deciding which area to declutter next. Sometimes it just hits you over the head. (Almost) literally. I've been doing a decluttering/organization project most Thursdays. This morning, as I deflected falling cups and medicine bottles, I decided that this kitchen cabinet would be today's project. I … [Read more...]
Big Thing In, Big Thing Out
Waaaaay back, like six months ago, when my Sister in Law put her house on the market, I started dreaming about her couch. Her red one. It would look fantastic in MY living room, and then I could move our current couch into the office/gameroom and the daybed from there into my daughter's room . . . . and so on and so forth. She has now … [Read more...]
Sometimes a Good Purge is Just What You Need
Warning: This post is not intended to show an organized closet. While the author is ever-so-much closer to having an organized closet than she was last week, she is fully aware that she has a very long way to go. Please accept this post for its intended purpose which is to demonstrate how much of a difference purging things like two-year-old … [Read more...]
When Clutter Hatches Its Own Evil Plan
Today . . . my clutter fought back. My best friend came down for the day, and I informed her that we were going to purge the clothes in my closet. That's another post coming soon. Likely titled, "How Best Friends Can Be Helpful and Scary at the Same Time." Since yesterday was Laundry Day and the clothes were actually all put away, we … [Read more...]
It’s Hard to Get Stuff Done Around the House if You Aren’t Home
When I was in High School/College/Thailand, the worst possible thing that could happen was to not have anywhere to go on a Friday or Saturday night. Free time was for having fun and I loved to be on the go. So sometimes I'm surprised that I'm now a total homebody. After two weeks of going and blowing every-single-day-all-over-the-place, I'm … [Read more...]
