Day 10 of the 30 Day Decluttering Challenge: Bookshelves

For day ten, we are working on decluttering bookshelves for ten minutes. I found this to be a fairly easy little job. I did create a mess with all the books I pulled out, though. You will see that in the video. To avoid making a giant pile of books in the floor like I did, you might want to have a second box or bag to put books you need your family members to go through. My youngest son still wanted to keep many of the books I hoped we could get rid of. This is how I solved […]

Day 8 of the Decluttering Challenge: Master Bedroom

Hey y’all! For day eight of our decluttering plan, we are setting a timer and working on our master bedroom. Pick which area of your bedroom needs the most work and go for it. I have several hot spots in that room, but my dresser, which my husband also uses as his desk, is what bothers me the most. As I said before, I am not a perfectly tidy person coming to you with tips from the end of a journey. I am in the middle of this process too, and I have plenty to work on. During this challenge, […]

Day 6 of the Decluttering Challenge: Taking Out the Donations

Day six of the decluttering challenge is scheduled on a Saturday, so I am keeping today’s post short. Saturdays are for fun. Chances are you may be doing your challenge on different days, and I want to reiterate that I think it’s just awesome that you are doing it, no matter what day it is. Task for Day 6: Take your giveaway items out to the trunk of your car. Now that our stuff is in our trunk, it is ready to deliver to a charity of our choosing. You could also declutter your living room if just taking out […]

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 […]

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 […]

Free spirits do not need a schedule. Try this instead.

Have you ever seen a work schedule for free spirits? Over the past few months, I have written about how to create a work schedule as a work at home mom at least two different times. First, I wrote this article about creating the schedule, and then I wrote about how I was tweaking my schedule because my first one did not work. Well, it may come as no surprise to anyone that my second schedule did not work either. Then I began to feel sad about my problem of never being able to stick to any schedule that I […]

Big progress & a looming setback for my writing business this month

I have not done an update on my blogging and writing business goal progress in a while. But I have been working very hard on my writing goals! Let’s start with the looming setback in my writing business because that lit some fire under my rear end to motivate me to get to earning more money… I got an email that said I will soon owe $400 in Bluehost web hosting fees. They have definitely gone up on their rates. Ouch. Then my Canva bill came due for over $100. Without Canva, I cannot make all of my pretty images […]

10 Reasons Why You Need to Take a Family Vacation

A good solid family vacation is what we all need this summer. You need it for your mental, physical, and spiritual health!! It does not have to be expensive or all that far away from home. But I hope you get to leave town this summer and go do something fun with your family. I love family vacations. In fact, that might be another reason I will never be rich. But I don’t care, and neither should you. The fact is we ALL need a family vacation this summer, next summer, and every year after. In fact, it does not […]
