Yesterday, I shared the story of two hours spent cleaning in my master bedroom to be ready for the possibility that I'd have to open the door and let the Insurance Lady see inside. I was happy with the results. My husband was happy. My daughter was in awe. Yay for middle-of-the-night walks to the potty made easier!! But there were a few more …

Spending Two Hours In The Master Bedroom (Cleaning)
I mentioned last week that my washing machine died. It died a watery death. A watery death that ruined the wood floor outside the laundry room. Which meant I had to call our insurance company. Which meant I had to let someone inside my house. Which meant I feared she would need to open the door to the master bedroom which is just to the …
The Pile that Grew (And Grew and Grew and Grew)
And this post demonstrates why Hubby no longer worries that I'll run out of Slob Blog Material. That's the pile. I knew it was there. I knew it had grown. But it wasn't until I needed to deal with it that I grasped its vastness. In my mind, there were boxes in there. Christmas happened, and I did the vast majority of my …
Master Bedroom Saga
Last August, I overhauled my master bedroom. Big time. Here's the complete saga, all together, so you can watch the videos all in one place. (There are also links to each of the blog posts in the series.) If you're an email subscriber, be sure to click on the title of this post. That will take you to the blog where you can see the …
Decluttering the Dresser (Again)
(Click here if you can't see the video.) I shared in the Series Finale of the Master Bedroom Saga last week that I spent part of that final day decluttering the dresser. It was its own project, so I am giving it its own post and webisode. Basically, I had things in my drawers that hadn't been worn in forever. All of the stuff piled on top of …
The Master Bedroom Saga: Series Finale
It's here. The finale. In case you're new to the blog, last August/September, I worked on my Master Bedroom. I took out EVERYTHING except the major furniture, and only put back what I really wanted to keep. It was a success. For like . . . two months. During those two months, it looked basically like this: And this: But …
The Master Bedroom Saga: Hubby Declutters (Part 9)
This is part nine of what seems to be an endless saga. In this part, I'm sharing Hubby's role in this process. I'm often asked how to motivate a husband to declutter. While I can't let myself worry about that too much, I have seen my own husband become more and more willing to declutter over the past three years. This one insanely-focused …
The Master Bedroom Saga: Putting Stuff Back (Part 8)
I did the whole Master Bedroom Saga over the course of two weeks. Two exhausting weeks. Two exhausting weeks when I was able to devote a ton of attention to this project because school had just started but life hadn't. Meaning, I didn't have commitments yet. And I had a deadline. Which I totally need on stuff like this. The …
The Master Bedroom Saga: Part Seven – Rearranging Furniture
It's been almost two months now since I did this big, huge, scary project. And as I edit video and try to match it up with what I wrote in my journal, it doesn't always jive perfectly. In my journal at this point, I wrote mostly about the psychological transformations Hubby and I went through just enjoying the emptiness. We had never …
