What to Do When You Don’t Feel Like Doing Anything

Do you ever have days where you have no energy and you do not felling like doing anything in the world? I am not too proud to admit that I have seen many no-energy days where it feels almost impossible to do anything. Let me tell you, I had two hard-core, no energy at all days, last week. January was getting to me or something! All I wanted to do was wallow on my sofa, but then I felt guilty about not getting my stuff done. Sometimes I do not even know why I have no energy. Maybe it’s hormones, […]

Time for a 2024 Planning Session!

For my 2024 planning session, I sat down with my calendar, a pen, and the kids’ school calendars and roughly planned out the entire year. Have you ever tried that? It sounds simple, but I tell you. I am not sure I have ever done this before. There is something about the possibility of moving that makes you suddenly go into planning overdrive. I have had this 2024 planning session sitting in my calendar for a couple of weeks now, and I keep pushing it off. Sure, it is definitely time to plan out 2024, but when it comes to […]

Day 28 of the Decluttering Challenge: Master Bathroom

For day twenty-eight of the decluttering challenge, we are going through our master bathrooms with a fine tooth comb. But we are only going to do that for ten minutes. Now if you have more time you want to devote to cleaning out your master bathroom, go for it. If not, I think you will be pleasantly surprised with how much ground you can cover in the bathroom in only ten minutes. Start with whatever space you want to improve the most because chances are you may spend the whole ten minutes in that one area. I chose the cabinet […]

Day 25 of the Decluttering Challenge: Foyer

For day twenty-five of our Thirty Day Decluttering Challenge, we are cleaning out our foyer. Do you have a foyer in need of decluttering? It may be a closet or a set of hooks in your foyer that you use the most. Whatever area you tend to use as a launchpad, that is where we are going today. At our house we have this beautiful hall tree that is probably about a hundred years old. It was my great-grandparents’, and I have memories of seeing it in their foyer my entire childhood. When I was a kid, I thought it […]

Day 16 of the Decluttering Challenge: Your Home Office

For day sixteen, we are decluttering our home office. I don’t mean our desks again. I mean the other areas of our office, like the file cabinet, printer shelf, or any area where we keep office supplies. If this were not such a hectic day at our house, I could have done so much more. The 30 Day Decluttering list assigns today fifteen minutes of decluttering time. I had to settle for ten minutes of decluttering and five minutes of filing. The Christmas season is starting to truly crank up, and I am about already whooped. Are any of you […]

Day 13 Decluttering Challenge: 27 Fling Boogie for Your Desk

Welcome back to the 30 Day Decluttering Challenge! I hope y’all are having fun with this. Today we are doing a 27 Fling Boogie on our desk, or home office work space. Wherever you sit and do your computer work or pay your bills, that is where we want to focus. I wrote about this at greater length before. You can find that here. Today we are going to do that same task, but we are going to do our 27 Fling Boogie slightly differently. In my previous post, we put everything in one bag and sorted it at the […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
