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 […]

How to Declutter Your Out of Control Desk in the Time it Takes to Microwave Your Lunch

This week, I decluttered my dumpster fire of a desk in the time it took me to microwave my lunch, and I had a good time doing it. I used a handy decluttering hack from Flylady. And no, I did not shove it all in a drawer. I properly decluttered the desk in about ten minutes, and I am going to show you how I did it. First, I want to point out that apparently a messy desk is a sign of genius. However, as genius as we may be, sometimes we need to clean it up just so we […]

Check Out this Free Homemaking Class on YouTube

I am taking a free homemaking class on YouTube, and it is so strangely fun. That’s why I wanted to share this. I wanted y’all to get to have fun with it too. Even though I have been keeping house for over twenty-one years, I never feel like I do a good job. You know? There’s always so much clutter. For example, two days ago, I cleaned off our coffee table, and now I’m sitting here looking at it all cluttered up again. We cannot be trusted with surfaces where you can place things at our house. Two days ago […]

How to Stop Being a Clothes Hoarder

Today I am going to be talking about one of my favorite topics: decluttering your clothes and how to stop being a clothes hoarder!! ***Insert squeal of delight.*** I have a system for organizing clothes that I came up with many years ago. With this system, I never have to “clean out my closet” because it always stays cleaned out. Oh, and yes, my clothes are still crammed in pretty tight because I do not have a great big walk in closet all to myself. I have a small walk-in closet that I share with my husband. His clothes actually […]

Check Out our Full House Declutter Reveal

If you are not new here, you know 2022 has been all about getting my house decluttered for the upcoming move. With six people in the house, we obviously can fill up any space with all kinds of clutter. Well, now it’s time to sell the house, and no one wants to buy a house that looks all cramped. After months and months of work, we managed to get two of the three floors looking spacious, clean, and fabulous. Then we took all the extra stuff and shoved it in the basement storage rooms. Sigh. Yeah, those storage rooms I […]

Some things must be kept: Here is what to keep.

Some things must be kept, but you cannot hoard everything. So how do you know what to keep and what to get rid of? Sometimes I get so busy with house cleaning chores that I forget to do the things that I feel driven to do, to write. Writing was always my default. From age eight, it was what I did. I have volumes of journals and blogs. Occasionally, when I was a kid, there was even a poem or a short story. Oh, and letters, I have written so many letters. Letters. Remember letters? I have boxes of old […]

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 […]
