I can't believe it's May. When I wrote the title for this post just now, I had to stop and think which month to write, because April just started, but I already had a post about March. Actually, April just ended. Wow. I did pretty well last month, moving steadily toward my garage sale. I was supposed to have already had it, but rain was … [Read more...]
Decluttering
Decluttering is the foundation to transforming your home. But don't be afraid! We can start small.
Some Things are Hard to Part With
We love books around here. If there's one item that I feel completely justified in hoarding, it's books. Everyone knows that a kid can have too many toys, but they can't have too many books . . . right? Wrong. They have too many books when the bookshelf looks like this: I worked on the boys' room last fall and made huge progress. And … [Read more...]
Free Deodorant, Master Bedroom Chaos, and Me
If you've been here before, you know that I have "Master Bedroom Issues." It's my catch-all place for the many things that don't have a proper home. It's the door I can justify closing when company comes over (and it locks). I've had many a post about it, and slowly but surely, it is getting better. Slowly. But surely. I'm working in … [Read more...]
Decluttering Can Be Fun . . . Or Not
I worked in the garage yesterday. Wow. I've been decluttering like a slow-and-steady madwoman since this blog began last August. And organizing things really isn't my . . . well . . . thing. So the get-this-out-of-the-house-right-now-and-stick-it-in-the-garage technique has a few flaws. Because now, I have a mass of stuff to get ready for the … [Read more...]
Clear Out the Clutter Challenge – Kitchen and Stockpile
Today's area for Money Saving Mom's Clear out the Clutter Challenge is the Kitchen and Stockpile. Although my main focus for today is my post - Garage Sale Tips: From the Girl Who Knows Too Much, I knew that I had to do it. I tend to not want to be on someone else's timetable (on a good day that makes me a free spirit, on a bad one it makes me a … [Read more...]
Clear Out the Clutter Challenge
Two nights ago Money Saving Mom announced that she was going to do a "Clear Out the Clutter Challenge." Perfect, right? I mean, that's what I'm all about here at my blog. I have no lack of clutter, and I'm all about clearing it out. But then, the assigned area and linky went up last night. Last night after my daughter's birthday dinner. Last … [Read more...]
My Decluttering Progress for March
Amy at The Finer Things in Life is again hosting her monthly link-up in her decluttering challenge. Her goal is to get rid of 730 things in 365 days. That's an average of 2 items a day. I linked up in January and was incredibly proud of my progress. I linked up in February and was inspired to do better in March when I went back through my posts … [Read more...]
Shoveling My Way Out
That's the rug. The same rug I cleared off last week for Tackle it Tuesday. It looked great until the moment when I was frantically looking for something a little more warm-weather-appropriate to pack for my daughter to wear when she went to spend the night with my SIL. Of course, I had waited until the last minute to pack, so much … [Read more...]
The Rug That Hates Me
Do you see it? Blocking the door? Laughing at me? That's my master bedroom door. See, I have this rug. It's a pretty rug, but I won't say it's a nice one, because it's the opposite of nice. It's mean. We were given this rug two years ago. I decided to put it in the master bedroom. There is a perfect space for it right in front of the … [Read more...]
