Summer break has arrived! I love summer. I don't love the heat, but I love the change in routine. If you've been around a while, you know that I take summers off from blogging and podcasting. I know for a fact that it has "stunted my growth" as a blogger/podcaster, but it has saved my sanity as a mother. I'll take sanity any day. I love …

I won! Here’s GGTWOM Audio for You
Thanks for putting up with all my yakking about the bundle sale last week. As promised (on the literal spur-of-the-moment while typing up a post), I said that if I ended up in the top sales spot, I'd offer the audio version of Giving God the Worst of Me to everyone (not just people who bought a bundle) for free! It's normally $12. I really …
Adjustments and Modifications and Doing What Has to Be Done
I'm three weeks and a day past my hysterectomy, and it hasn't been fun. On day three, I realized I wasn't going to be like the people who said they never even had to take a pain pill. On day 8, I realized I wasn't going to be like the people who said they felt great after the first week. On day 15, I had to accept that the …
The Becoming Conference – July 26-28, 2019
Last year, as I launched Decluttering at the Speed of Life into the world, I went on a book tour. I looked for places in different regions of the country where I could connect with existing kindred spirits and meet new ones. That's how I ended up speaking at The Becoming Conference just outside of Asheville, North Carolina. I had no idea how …

There are tons of free resources on this site, free podcasts galore to listen to while you work, and videos you can watch over on …
Super Easy Christmas Crafts, Gifts and Traditions
I know. We're barely a week away from Christmas. But since I know that many of you share my TPAD affliction (Time Passage Awareness Disorder), I'm sharing some super fast ways to make Christmas special. As someone who dreams up big, meaningful ideas, I would often lament that I didn't have the time (translated: had waited too long) to …
Cleaning and Organizing for the Holidays
As I prepare to take some time off to spend Christmas with my family and also be ready for the biggest decluttering week of the year, I thought I'd share some of the most frantically searched posts and podcasts on the blog at this time of year. They're all about . . . guests. Because if there's anything that strikes panic in the heart of …

Have a Wonderful Summer!
I've been doing this blogging thing for almost nine years now. I started on the day my second child went to kindergarten. He will be in high school next year. When the first summer came around, my main concern was that I wouldn't be able to keep up the progress I'd made in my home while we enjoyed the gloriously routine free season. By the third …
