10 Ways to Prepare for any Unexpected Disaster

Today I have a disaster preparedness expert here with me to share with everyone ten ways even beginners can prepare for disaster. In our family, we have a resident expert in preparing for disaster. It is definitely not me. I am not all that prepared, honestly. When Covid hit, it was by pure blind hog luck and the grace of God that I happened to buy a Mega bulk pack of Charmin on March 9, 2020. In fact, it was one of Walmart’s last packs of it, and I remember thinking, “huh, weird.” If they hadn’t sent all of my […]

How to Find Extra Minutes to Work on Your Project

I have a problem. You see, I am woefully behind on prepping my house for this move, and I find myself in need of extra minutes. We all get the same twenty-four hours for every single day. No matter who you are. The day is the same. There are twenty-four hours, and no one gets extra minutes. But I am going to need some extra. I want to list our house to sell in May, and that requires me to comb through each room of the house. Our house is over-packed with stuff. Everywhere you look there is clutter. Most […]

Sorry, I did not learn in time to not film the ceiling while […]

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 […]

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. […]
