It's not really fair to blame this week's home organization project on a jar of homemade jam, but I'm going to do it anyway. It all began this summer when we made jam - and for once we canned it instead of making freezer jam. We needed jam (kids and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches… Continue reading Home Organization Project 46

Home Organization Project 45
Hello home organization weekly project #45. You're even dustier than last week's kitchen cabinet clean out. While I'm calling this week's project 'home entertainment,' this is straight out of the '80s and '90s. The VCR machine - yes, we still have one - and VHS movies but also a few DVDs that we'll never watch.… Continue reading Home Organization Project 45
Say Hello to My Newest DIY Project
There are two things I love: camping and DIY projects. The part I didn't like about camping was sleeping on the ground. With this DIY project, I'm done sleeping on the ground. Say hello to my newest DIY project: a 1963 Aloha Travel Trailer also known as "Scamper." I've been looking for one of these… Continue reading Say Hello to My Newest DIY Project
Home Organization Project 31
This week's home organization project - also known as get rid of stuff or move - was our garage and can we have a drum roll, please? Scratch that. Mini-drum roll, please. It's still an old garage that only recently had rats, squirrels, and spiders living in it. At least now it's an old garage… Continue reading Home Organization Project 31
Home Organization Project 30
Remember when we cleaned out the top of the garage before our garage sale? And then we discovered the rats in the rest of the garage? Well, those were just warm ups to this week's home organization project: the garage. Blah! We've been waiting for warm weather so that we can drag out every single… Continue reading Home Organization Project 30
Home Organization Project 28
Do you ever have a week where all of your best laid plans get hijacked? That was my week. All week, I've been trying to get down to my sewing studio to get it organized but it never happened. Here's what happened instead: My daughter got her wisdom teeth pulled on Monday. Brad and I… Continue reading Home Organization Project 28
Home Organization Project 26
We're half-way through our year-long crazy, hair-brained idea of mine to either reduce the amount of 'stuff' and clutter in our house or move. The "52 weeks of home organization projects" has definitely been interesting and has people talking. The burning question most everyone asks is: "Are you really, actually, cleaning out the - fill… Continue reading Home Organization Project 26
Home Organization Project 20
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
Happy Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day! Today, I've got a list of 13 ways to embrace Earth Day, every day. Living each day like it's Earth Day is good for us, good for the budget, and good for the environment. Each of these steps take effort every day and at our house, it's been a gradual process with… Continue reading Happy Earth Day!
Home Organization Project 15
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
