Decluttering Challenge Day 4: A Kid’s Closet

Welcome to day four of the 30 Day Decluttering Challenge! Today we are decluttering a kid’s closet. Y’all, for day four of the decluttering challenge, I had a bad case of the blahs and that is what I look like in this video. Man, I looked rough. Sorry, guys. Maybe tomorrow my makeup lady will come back. (Of course, I am my make-up lady.) The good news is my son and I felt mega accomplished after thinning so many little shirts out of his closet. We went through every single piece of clothing hanging in his closet. We sent a […]

Day 3 of the Decluttering Challenge: 15 Minutes in Your Most Cluttered Room

Day three of the Decluttering Challenge is extra helpful if you have any specific areas causing you stress. Today you get to zero in on any room you would like and spend your decluttering time right where you need it most. After day two of working on my storage room, I realized how out of control my storage room has become. Now I am dying to get in there and turn that room into an organized space. I am also hoping to significantly cut back on the amount of things I am storing altogether. Who needs that much storage? It’s […]

Day Two of the 30 Day Decluttering Challenge: Storage Room

For day two of the 30 day decluttering challenge, we are in my absolute favorite room to declutter: the storage room! If you don’t have a storage room, focus on whatever room you shove the things you don’t know what to do with or wherever you have boxes of storage. During our past twenty plus years as a military family, we moved houses every one to three years without fail. Many of those homes did not have a proper storage room. We have used garages, attics, guest rooms, carports, and sheds for storage over the years. Here is the video […]

Day One of the 30 Day Decluttering Challenge: Living Room

We are kicking off day one of our 30 Day Decluttering Challenge, and I am excited to get this started! This is a fun way to work on decluttering your house. There is something about having a plan and a group of people to follow along with that makes cleaning house more fun. Also, I think having a challenge like this that works in small ten-fifteen minute increments helps you actually get more done. Decluttering can be such an overwhelming task. When it is broken down into small ten minute jobs, it becomes much easier. To learn more about the […]

30 Day Decluttering Challenge for Beginners

I put together this fun 30 day decluttering challenge for beginners (and clutter bugs) to motivate myself to get my house decluttered. And I thought it would be fun if we did this together. If you happen to have your share of clutter and want to try this out too, I hope you will join me in the challenge. I found a ton of these thirty day decluttering deals already available on the world wide web. Some of them even have free printables, as this one does. However, I looked at a few that are already out there, and I […]

Easiest Ever Sweet & Sour Chicken in the Crock Pot

This is the easiest way possible to make sweet and sour chicken, without having to go through a whole bunch of steps or order take-out. I should call this “mock sweet and sour chicken” though because there is no frying and actually way less calories than the traditional version. Just now, as I was writing this, I decided to see what is already out on the internet for easy sweet and sour chicken recipes. I found a lot of recipes that want you to cut up the chicken, shake it in a bag with the bread crumbs or flour, make […]

We have lost a true lady, leader, & member of the Greatest Generation, Grandma Cunningham

Recently, Alan’s amazing grandmother passed away. I never know whether it will offend people if I write about someone they loved or if it could help them. So I go back and forth in my head a million times about whether or not to say anything. It’s a whole tightrope I walk, not always knowing exactly what I should or shouldn’t do. But then, isn’t that the way for everyone sometimes? My husband gave me the go-ahead to write about this stately, talented, one-of-a-kind lady, who we call Grandma Cunningham, Grandmother, or just plain Grandmama. Everyone outside of the kids […]

What we can learn from Jill Duggar’s new book, Counting the Cost

Have you seen the media’s many shock headlines about Jill Duggar’s new tell-all book? I was tracking the release of Counting the Cost for several months before it came out. This was one I knew I had to read! (If you do buy it, use one of my Amazon links. I am an Amazon affiliate and collect small advertising fees). Back in the heyday of “19 Kids and Counting,” I was a big fan of the Duggar family as a whole. I read Michelle’s book, watched the show, and wrote articles about what I learned from them. Despite the family’s […]

My Honest Review of the 2023 Flylady 101 Class

Last week I finished the very last day of the Flylady 101 Class on YouTube, and I want to tell you all about it. As I mentioned before, when I first started the class, Flylady 101 is completely free. I must confess, I climbed into a serious Flylady warp zone in the past month, as I went all in on Flylady. I took the class, read the book, downloaded the app, and I even signed up for the email list! It is very rare for me to go whole hog like this, but after moving from a larger house to […]

Easy Dinner Hack: Turn Any Recipe into a Crockpot Meal

Finding easy dinner hacks is one of the main themes of my adult life. I have four kids, life is busy, and having easy dinner ideas is important for our whole family. Everyone loves to eat. My favorite way to make cooking dinner easier is to turn just about any recipe I find into a crock pot recipe. Why? For a few reasons: -The hours after the kids and my husband get home from school are the most exhausting, chaotic hours. Add trying to get to evening sports practices to that, and you can forget being able to focus on […]
