Decluttering My Home
I’m excited. I have been waiting for this moment for quite a while…. since at least the beginning of the year. I just needed 5 months to get to it! Taking on the Freeing Task of Decluttering I’m getting ready to start decluttering closets and any other area that needs some attention and then I’ll be getting things into a more organized state around here. Paperwork, decluttering under the bathroom sink, whipping the pantry into shape again, drawers… I’m going to get to it. I’m even going to get to those canned goods that are outdated that I’ll never use. 🙂 Clutter in my home is clutter in my mind.…

Making a Breakfast Plan
Well thanks, ladies for your input on some of the challenges you face in homemaking. I have plenty of challenges, too. I think they are always present. Just when you think you’ve got it down, there comes a new phase of life and then you have to rethink your ways of doing things. I think one of my dreads is breakfast and wouldn’t you know it(!) – it’s my husband’s favorite meal of the day! He can skip almost any other meal, but don’t miss making him breakfast. Even some of my boys says it’s their favorite meal. What’s a mother to do in this situation? 🙂 Since we married…

Maximizing Closet Space
I’m happy to report we ALL survived our family photo session with nary a tear in sight and only a little tomfoolery. It was a little too cold but even Shalom (my 3 month old beautiful granddaughter) didn’t utter a cry of protest but was a sweetheart the entire time. See, I told you she was beautiful. 🙂 The Thanksgiving season is coming upon us rapidly and my two girls both have birthdays the same week as Thanksgiving. Poor things, they always get a little shortchanged since it’s a busy but happy time preparing for everything. For Serenity’s 16th birthday last year, we didn’t even give her a party till…

Organizing the Garage – the Beginning – Part II
A virus hit my home last week. It wasn’t pretty and I lost a lot of time trying to make it better. But thankfully the doctor took care of it. The PC doctor that is. I had an enforced writing break when my computer got a virus and had to go to the shop. Thankfully, nothing was lost except my time as I attempted to self-diagnose it. I’m glad there are computer gurus in this world. Of course it was some computer whiz that put the virus on the ‘net in the first place. Amazing what people do for kicks. So, y’all are probably wondering what’s been happening in the…
