Remember when we had a family of squirrels living in the ceiling of our front porch? Well, we managed to move them out but today the home organization project we dealt with were rats - in our garage. OK, squirrels have been spotted in there, too. Wildlife is really trying to take over at Chez… Continue reading Home Organization Project 22

Home Organization Project 21
Is it just me or does it seem like we just cleaned out all of the cabinets and drawers in the bathroom when we re-did it? Well, that's what I thought, too, but that was 2-years ago so it was time - again! If we're not on top of all the 'stuff' in our lives,… Continue reading Home Organization Project 21

This week's home organization weekly project clean out was all about inspecting. I inspected all of our sheets and blankets in the linen closet and on the beds. There's no picture of this because our linen closet is big and dark without any electrical light. Actually, it's not even a linen closet but rather just… Continue reading Home Organization Project 20

This was an easy home organization weekly project clean out for me. It's jewelry week and I needed an easy week. After the last few weeks, all this de-cluttering and reducing has worn me out! Plus, I'm gearing up for the garage, basement, and my sewing area. Those areas are major and may require several… Continue reading Home Organization Project 19

I hired her to help me sort through every item in my closet with me… Continue reading Home Organization Project 17

Is it romantic, or crazy, that my husband and I like to go to estate sales on Friday afternoons? I'm going with crazy because while it is an inexpensive 'date' - relatively speaking - we're trying to have less stuff rather than more! We're in the midst of a year-long home organization/de-cluttering project and buying… Continue reading Home Organization Project 15

This week's home organization project was forced upon us because we had to I wanted to clear out the office (formerly known as "The Lincoln Bedroom") for the mini-redo. Our 'office' is a very small bedroom on the main floor of our 1914-bungalow. We I wanted to give it a new look and get a… Continue reading Home Organization Project 13
How to Meal Plan Every Week
There’s a lot of confusion about what meal planning is. Most people think meal planning is a plan for an elaborate dinner party. It can be but that’s not the meal planning I’m talking about. What I’m talking about when I say “meal planning” is a frame work or an agenda of what home cooked… Continue reading How to Meal Plan Every Week

While this week's home organization project was only cleaning off the refrigerator - and everything attached to the outside of it - it was more symbolic than the previous 11 weeks of home organization projects. Are you wondering how cleaning off the refrigerator could be symbolic? Well, I've used the refrigerator as a "job and… Continue reading Home Organization Project 12
