Back in August, I was decluttering like a champ. I was inspired, motivated, and crushing J$’s declutter challenge. I successfully eliminated one item per day for an entire month. My house was getting lighter and lighter by the minute. Everything was going swimmingly, until… well, life got in the way. We had some friends come into town, we went out…

This past month, I’ve been up to something. Something that has been needed to get done for awhile and I just could never quite find the time or energy to do it. That all changed when I read J$’s post on July 24th. He was getting rid on one item a day for 30 days and challenging his readers to do…

Five lessons we have learned since starting to compost. Let’s bust some myths. Guys, I have an announcement to make. We have been legit composters for 1 1/2 years now. Can you believe it? And not only are we legit, we have actually been successful too. Damn, it feels good to be a ganster composter. For people…

Footprints Today, I want to talk about footprints. Mine are about a size 6 1/2. Most people tell me that I have small feet. But of the women in my family I have the largest footprint. My mother is a size 6 and my sister, a 5 1/2. Ok, but really, I am not here to talk about the actual…

Or something Mrs. Wow says to me as I’m trying to make her laugh by dancing in my speedo. I never really put much thought into what that really meant until recently. But really applying…

Right next to our television, in the main part of the living room, lives a box. Not a fancy box, just a plain, old cardboard box. This box is anything but decorative. If anything it is an eye sore, but to us, it is a constant reminder. A reminder for what, you might ask? It is reminder to get rid…

2017 is off and running. People are feverishly trying to stick to their resolutions and goals that they set just weeks ago. And realistically, I bet some people have already fallen off the resolution wagon by now. As for me, I have a laundry list of goals for the year and even came up with some for the next 5-10 years…

With the new year upon us, I would like to take a minute to review a few of my favorites from last year. I’m talking about gifts. For me, 2016 brought a new appreciation for life. I started to look at things differently. I began searching for used items when in need of something or looking to rent/borrow when at…

Tis the season to be shopping. For the past few weeks, I have noticed a dramatic increase in holiday advertisements. It seems that every time I turn around, I see a new ad, commercial, or billboard telling me that my holiday won’t be complete unless I have (insert item for sale here). Its amazing how the daily doses of seasonal…
