Hoarders are slobs, but slobs are not necessarily hoarders. I was thinking about this concept today as I made the French Toast Sticks that I was supposed to make last weekend, but never did. As I worked on them, I was feeling pretty good about myself. I bragged to the audience in my head that I know plenty of non-slobs who … [Read more...]
A Clutter-Free Purse . . . What a Nice Thought
I love a clutter-free purse. Not that I have one. Sometimes, if my house looks nice for a fleeting moment, I think, "What will I blog about if I really do get my home under control someday?" But then, my mind starts filling with the many other areas where clutter reigns. Like my purse. For the past three weeks or so, my purse … [Read more...]
It’s Okay to Keep One . . . Right?
As I work out in the hot and muggy garage this week, my daughter is having a great time. Unfortunately, a large portion of her joy comes from finding long-forgotten toys meant for our upcoming garage sale. My automatic answer to her "Can I keep this?" question is no. But if she stays obsessed with it for a few days, I reconsider. (As I'm … [Read more...]
Avoidance – That’s ONE of my Problems . . .
Last night was one of those. It was supposed to be our one night at home this week. Supposed to be . . . before I was reminded that there was a Cub Scout meeting. Supposed to be . . . before my 6yo's coach decided to have a t-ball practice, because you know, two games in a week (per child) isn't enough time for the boys to spend at the ball … [Read more...]
Accepting How I Learn
First, let me clarify a few things. 1. Flylady is awesome. When people ask me for advice here, I try to make it clear that I'm no expert when it comes to cleaning, organizing, etc. and I generally send them her way. If you want to know what it takes to get your house under control, she's your woman. And she'll tell you exactly … [Read more...]
My Weekly Tasks
It's Wednesday. I'm rushed for time. Same old story as every Wednesday. So since I haven't been home and therefore haven't made any progress, I thought I'd share my weekly tasks and how they're working for me, all together in one post. Here goes: Monday - Laundry. Tuesday - Bathrooms. Wednesday - Out all day, but I do my grocery … [Read more...]
Hit or Miss Genetics
I am my mother's daughter. I hear her voice come out of my mouth quite often as a mother myself. I have accepted this. But although I inherited many, many of her characteristics, there are some that did not get passed down. We spent last week, Spring Break, at my parents' lake house. It's a fun place to go with the kids, and it's … [Read more...]
My Home Is Not The Stage
If you read regularly, you may have noticed that every Wednesday, I get behind. Wednesdays are my day to leave the house early and go to Bible Study, run errands, etc. So my focus is not my home, because I'm not in it. When it comes to home organization, I'm very much an out-of-sight - out-of-mind kind of girl. Hence the fiasco that is my … [Read more...]
A Last Dish Effort
Don't worry. I am fully aware of the complete cheesiness of that post title. It's Spring Break. We were out of town for three days. Hubby and the kids are all home. I haven't cooked a "real meal" at home all week. All routine is out the window. So, this morning, I had to dig around to find the last three clean coffee cups we had so that my … [Read more...]
