Decluttering... by saying no
Thursday, November 16, 2017 9 comments Confession time: I said "no" the other day and I am still racked with guilt. There's no way around it, I'm feeling guilty because I said it to "My Mother" (you can substitute your husband, significant other, child...) Yikes, I just felt a ti... Read more
Decluttering... via sneaky, every day activities
Wednesday, November 15, 2017 16 comments Weeks ago, I finally caught the decluttering bug. Nothing wild or drastic. Just cleared a few surfaces like my dresser top and closet floor. Then I enjoyed the results. Well, the closet floor is still clear (however I am still tripping over ... Read more
Brody bits in which we take Christmas card photos
Wednesday, November 08, 2017 18 comments Couldn't resist the 50% off everything sale at my favorite online photo store. So out came the Christmas collars and an under-the-tree skirt that a friend made for me years ago. Now to pose the boys... OK so that didn't work. When I do... Read more

Brody bits in which he finally becomes a lapsitter
Thursday, November 02, 2017 16 comments It's been just over a year since Brody was rescued and joined my family. He was a bedraggled, underfed little guy with big eyes and an even bigger nose. Still has both but has muscled up so he can stand on straight legs and keep up with his do... Read more

A kick in the pants
Monday, October 23, 2017 14 comments It happens to us all. We are working our plan when all of a sudden we find ourselves on the dreaded plateau. And just like this picture, we can run into mountains and drop offs on our way to the other side of that plateau... ... Read more
Going for the gold
Friday, October 20, 2017 17 comments Today is a beautiful fall day - sunny, cool, colorful leaves, and an empty calendar. Not too many more like these will come along in the next few months so I can't spend this one inside! My four-legged boys and I will celebrate this golden day... Read more

Decluttering is like dominoes
Tuesday, October 17, 2017 15 comments The other day I blogged about how a small investment in time to declutter paid off for me. So many of you responded with such positive encouragement that I knew I had to keep going. From the top of my dresser, I jumped into the floor of my mas... Read more
How just one declutter made a difference
Friday, October 13, 2017 147 comments Just about the time I decided that decluttering was "cluttering" up my mind, I actually took one step and got immediate results. One small task - a 15 minute investment - brought a smile to my evening (and the next morning too!) That's the sho... Read more
