I had to look to see when my last post was. Last week was crazy, and I definitely didn't do as well at just keeping up with the daily tasks as I wanted to do. Oh well. Life continues. Friday was a half day of school, but the morning included a two-hour sing-a-long at the school, so really I only had one hour between that and pick up time to … [Read more...]
My One Year Decluttering Anniversary
I started this blog a few months ago, in August. But last fall (over a year ago now), I got really serious. I was incredibly frustrated, consistently at the verge of tears, and was truly considering buying a shovel and renting a u-haul.I couldn't handle the clutter anymore. I had so much stuff that any attempt at organization was temporary because … [Read more...]
Hubby’s Very Own Tackle!!!
On Saturday, hubby decided he wanted his walk-in closet to also be walk-innable. I'm pretty sure he was inspired by my own much-better closet and our much nicer master bedroom. When I said I just might take a picture for the blog, he put a few things back, saying he wanted full credit. He's so cute. I know that the difference may not look huge … [Read more...]
Progress . . . and reality
If you read this blog because you're a little messy and "hate clutter" you probably won't understand. But if you're a true slob, you will. Do you know that point when you start to work on a REALLY bad room and you get about half way done and then it just overwhelms you that you will never find a place for all of this junk? That's where I … [Read more...]
Christmas Decorating – OH THE BOXES!!!
Today, we're decorating the house for Christmas. Shhh. I know that we should wait until after we've fully enjoyed Thanksgiving, but if we don't get it done now, there won't be a time to do it. And we're going to my mom's on Thursday anyway. I know. Excuses. Last year, after Christmas, I made an effort to get rid of stuff I didn't use … [Read more...]
Hope?
I am very proud of my boys' room. It looks so good, and of course, they've been playing like crazy in there now that they can actually find their toys. It's amazing how that works.I have no misconceptions, however, of how easily it can slip right back into it's state of absolute chaos. Or how quickly. But I do have hope. They always love it … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist and a CLEAN BOYS’ ROOM!!!
I'm running around like crazy trying to think of the bajillions of things there are to do before my husband and I leave to go on a trip on Thursday. I'm very excited, but feel completely unprepared. Today I: Made bed. Swept kitchen. Hubby ran the dishwasher AND emptied it yesterday, so it wasn't full enough to run again last … [Read more...]
Working on the Boys’ Scary Room
REALLY scary. This is not a post about some big success. I didn't even take a before picture. I might take a half-way through picture and say it was before. That's how bad it is. I feel so bad about the example I've been to my children. Why in the world should they keep their room nice if mine looks the way it does? After visiting his … [Read more...]
Thirteen Things I Found at the Bottom of my Closet
What exactly is the point of having a walk-in closet if you can't walk into it? I cleaned out my closet today, which was one of my big goals for the week. It's time to start taking inventory of Christmas gifts so I can know what I still need to buy. And now, since I can walk into it, I also hung in it the clothes that had been hanging on the … [Read more...]
