Simple Organizing: 50 Ways to Clear the Clutter

April 3, 2018 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Simple Organizing ~ A Book Review

I’m on a mission to completely declutter and organize my home this year. Or at least this decade. I’m a fan of Melissa Michaels’ website, The Inspired Home, as well as the books of hers I have read. So when I had the opportunity to read and review her latest book, Simple Organizing: 5o Ways…

Housekeeping or Homemaking?

April 3, 2018 By Deanna Piercy 7 Comments

Housekeeping or Homemaking

Is there a difference between homemaking and housekeeping? Do you differentiate between the two? Ever since I wrote this blog post about homemaking, I’ve been pondering the question. I also asked this question on the Life With Dee Facebook page and received some interesting comments. The general consensus was that there is a difference. We all basically agreed…

Spring Cleaning ~ Tips and Motivation

March 18, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 7 Comments

Have you started spring cleaning yet? Or do you spread the tasks out over the year so you don’t have to partake in this springtime ritual? Spreading out the cleaning makes more sense when one’s time and energy resources aren’t what they used to be (um, like me?). However, there is something rather satisfying about…

La Maison ~ Home, the French Way

March 1, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 9 Comments

Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved to “play house”.  No matter where I was, I nested.  At home, my room was my sanctuary and I loved making it pretty and comfortable.  Next door at my grandparents’ house, I would play by the hour in a corner of her den, setting up a little “house”…

Making time for everything

February 25, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 12 Comments

Free printable available here.  I’ve been resisting it for a quite awhile but the time has come. I’m going to have to bite the bullet and make a daily schedule for myself.

Back to Flylady?

June 12, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

It’s been a week since I mentioned my plans to implement a summer routine. I’d like to say I have it all worked out and it’s going just swimmingly. But I can’t. It seems that my days vary so much that it’s hard to come up with a consistent schedule. I think I’m just going…

A summer routine

June 5, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

It’s funny how, even though it’s been years since I was in school, summer still feels like a time to change up my usual routine. With warmer temperatures and longer days, winter routines seem out of place. I’ve been thinking about this the past week or so and am working on coming up with a…
