This is the way we mop our floors, mop our floors, mop our floors… I’ve spent quite a bit of time decluttering lately, at the expensive of other household chores. Like mopping the kitchen, for instance. Since we don’t have toddlers spilling things, it wasn’t horrible, but it still needed a good scrubbing. It also…
Decluttering
Since this blog is at least ostensibly about decluttering, I thought I should update you on a few more decluttering tasks I have completed. —Yesterday I sorted through the two organizers we have in the kitchen for paper items. Isn’t it amazing how if you ignore something for awhile, you find you no longer need…

The living areas of my home appear generally tidy and not especially clutter-y. And even though my closets, drawers, cupboards…
A recovering packrat
I’m at least a third generation packrat and I’ve had enough! Each time we have moved to a larger home I look at all the empty storage spaces and think, “Wow! I’ll never fill all that.” But within an amazingly short period of time it’s full. With one kid in college and the other married,…
