If we are fortunate there will be someone in our life who provides an example of a life well-lived. For me, that person was Grandma. I grew up next door to my grandparents and spent much of my childhood in their home. I continued to spend a lot of time with Grandma until she died…
LWD Giant Household Organization Roundup
I’m sure I’m not the only one who dreams of a perfectly organized home. Beautifully designed storage areas, everything in its place, “nothing that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” While I’m not a minimalist, I DO want my belongings to be purposefully chosen and well-organized. A brand new year…
A Weekly Planning Session
I promised you a month of posts about organization and time management and then sort of dropped off the map. Sorry about that! I’ve been battling a stubborn asthma attack since the end of December and just haven’t had the mental band width to write coherently. I finally gave in and started steroids last night…
Favorite Houses From Television and the Movies
Ever since I can remember, houses have fascinated me. I’ve been binge-watching Gilmore Girls before the new episodes come out and I have fallen in love with Lorelai’s and Rory’s house.

Things I Need After Watching Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners
I love the British series, Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners. I like it even better than How Clean is Your House? and that was a favorite. I know the point of the show is to highlight that both ends of the spectrum are dysfunctional but I have to admit a certain amount of admiration for the compulsive…
I’m Giving the FlyLady Another Chance
I first discovered The FlyLady many years ago, before she even had her own website, and have been a follower off and on throughout the years. I’ve read her book, Sink Reflections, and at various times signed up for her email reminders. I’m currently working on getting my household cleaning routines in place for the fall so…
Organization Videos – A Few of My Favorites
I LOVE to watch cleaning, decluttering and organizing videos. I also enjoy the occasional episode of Hoarders or Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners. Okay, maybe more than “occasional”. 😉 I find these interesting and often inspiring. And I’ve learned some good tips from watching them. I’m about to embark on a decluttering and organizing challenge of my…
