Resourcefulness Can Be Wasteful. Really.

If I had to blame someone, I’d blame my mother. But I’m not blaming her, because I truly have no idea if she did this or if I did it myself. When I decluttered my  pantry, I noticed this oh-so-resourceful use of a green bean box. (I did not, however, notice the grimy cabinet . . […]

Another Five Minutes in My Pantry #5MinuteFriday

Last week, I shared a five minute focus on my pantry. But, as often happens, five minutes leads to another five minutes. I do not count on this phenomenon, but I take it when it happens. After the first five, I kept going. I kept tossing and kept consolidating. I kept moving things to the […]

People Over Pride

  Last year (less than a month ago), I predicted I’d have my Christmas decor down on January 1st. January 1st came and went. So many of you were gracious and assured me that NOT taking it down was actually good and wonderful and much more actual-Christmas-honoring since January 6th is the true end of […]

Decluttering My Pantry for Five Minutes #5MinuteFriday

It’s Friday again. (Really.) This week, I chose to focus on my pantry for five minutes. The pantry I’d successfully ignored for more than five minutes. More than five months, probably. I grabbed a trash bag, took some before photos, and started working. Evidently, I have quite a thing for croutons. And I don’t have […]

Secondhand Shopping AND Cleaning Out My Closet (At the Same Time!)

This post is sponsored by thredUP. Which is awesome because thredUP is a company I’ve been using for several years and totally love. The opinions and experiences and clutter-prone closets and modeling/fashion-ability-or-lack-thereof are all mine. The photography skills (or lack thereof) are my kids’. I love a bargain. Sometimes too much. Part of my deslobification […]

The Reality of Handwashing Dishes for a Family of Five

I am one dedicated slob blogger, y’all. Unless you’re brand spankin’ new around here, you know how I feel about doing the dishes. I don’t love it and never will, but I know for a fact (from experience) that doing the dishes is THE thing that will get any house going on its deslobification process. […]

Five Minute Friday – The Top of My Dresser #5MinuteFriday

It’s Friday, so I decided to take 5 whole minutes to tackle something. I tackled my own dresser. I set the timer on my phone. I started grabbing things and taking them to their homes (where I would look for them first, as in my first decluttering question) immediately. Five minutes was ALL the time I […]

Working Through the Mess – After Holiday Cleanup

Today is January 3rd. I wrote this post on December 26th. On December 26th, I was so proud of myself for just picking up, and had full faith that I’d do the “real” after Christmas cleanup precisely on time: January 1st. Ummmm, I didn’t. New Year’s Day and the day after came and went, and […]
