Before & After Photos of My Storage Room Overhaul

Ta-daaaaaa!!!! I finished cleaning out my main basement storage room, and it feels so good. It’s like a hug when we walk through there now. My goal is to get each room of our house decluttered, getting rid of everything we don’t need, in time to sell our house this spring. You see, we are moving yet again. First, here are the “before photos”, which I blogged about here. Labeling was starting to get time consuming. Labeling storage boxes is beyond important, but my label maker is really a little printer, and it just is not quick at all really. […]

Step 1 of the Moving Process: Declutter, Reorganize, & Clean

Help!!! We are moving again!!!!!! Okay, I’m only sort of kidding. We really ARE moving. Oh, and also I am about as stressed as I sound there. Ha! And yeah, we do always need help, so I guess I’m not kidding at all…. We are five or six months out from our big move. That all depends on how fast this house sells and our ability to secure a rental house at our next town. We are only moving a couple of hours away this time, so does make it easier. It is a different state though, so I get […]

I have several regular goals, but the only one that I think is any fun is my reading goal: 52 Books for 52 Weeks. I’m actually enjoying doing this one! I had everyone give me books for Christmas, and I am just having the best time. Why had I never thought of setting a goal that’s actually fun before?? And because this is a goal to do something I ACTUALLY enjoy, I’m […]

When You Want a Do Over

This is one of those days when by lunch I wanted a do over. Isn’t that like the ultimate little kid thing to say??? “Watch me!” *goofs it up* “Do over! Do over! It was the wind. I get a do over.” But you know what? Life isn’t the Olympics…I mean not usually. I’ve never been to the Olympics, nor am I an athlete of any kind. For some rare members of the human race, I guess some days life really is the Olympics… Ha! But most days aren’t. So you know what? We can absolutely have a do-over on […]

A Simple Goal Derailed

Today a very simple goal completely derailed. I was going to get a jump start on cleaning my whole house. That is no small goal. It is a four bedroom house. People hire maids to do this all the time. These professionals come in, you give them $200 or so, and they clean your entire house in hours. How do they do that??? I am completely incapable of it, and I know this. Instead I set myself 30 minute timers and work for half an hour, rest for twenty, then go back to work. Yeah, maybe it sounds lazy. I […]
