Did I Really Just Say That???
I'm meeting my best friend for one last lunch date before the kids get out of school. Usually, we try to combine them with some thrift store shopping. But right now, I'm running ragged trying to get e-books up on Amazon and such so I can relax at the pool next week with my kids. I told her I could meet half-way for lunch, but . . . "I don't … [Read more...]
How to Recycle Old T-Shirts
How is it possible that a ratty old t-shirt can hold so many memories? I can't count the number of times I have almost placed a favorite t-shirt in the trash or the donate pile . . . only to put it back in a drawer. Sooooo many memories. But I recently had a moment of clarity as I was folding the above … [Read more...]
Freezer/Pantry Clean-Out Month
I saw that Jessica from Good Cheap Eats and several other bloggers are hosting a pantry challenge this month. I participated in something similar two years ago in January. This time, though, will be different. First of all, I think I overdid it last time. I used up EVERYTHING we had, and since my couponing went on the decline soon after, I … [Read more...]

I've created a Donate Spot. It's far from ideal, because it isn't hidden completely away or contained within a cutesy basket. But it works. I finally had to designate a place and name it, because otherwise, my house is filled with piles. Piles that I see and think, "Hmmm, was that the stuff I wanted to get rid of, or the stuff I wanted … [Read more...]

Ten things that should have been … [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...]
Like Mother, Like Daughter (AAAAHHHH!)
I worked on my daughter's room this morning. It was scary. Scary to anyone who might happen to pass by, but especially scary to a mom who struggles with chaos and clutter and desperately doesn't want to pass this on to her children. My daughter is three. She is at an age when she should be able to start picking up her room on her own, with … [Read more...]
