Day 349: Crush
OK, it’s a “back to basics” post. It’s probably not a surprise that we still have some cardboard boxes lurking about the house. And equally unsurprising: the basement has started to pile up with empty boxes that “someday” will make … Continue reading
Day 342: Sweep
It’s been happening again–that slow but steady creep of entropy. It starts with the little things. A mail order catalog that’s left on a counter, instead of ending up in recycling. A stuffed animal that worked its way out of … Continue reading
Day 316: Arrange
It’s a Throwback Wednesday–or something like that. Back to making a simple change around the house to use space more intentionally. The cable guy came out to the house today, which meant I had to leave work early to let … Continue reading

Day 284: Acknowledge
OK, I’m feeling a little tight on words by Day 284, I guess. Tonight’s posting should really be “encourage” or “support,” but I’m going to have to go with “acknowledge.” Our bedroom has pretty much become the last refuge of … Continue reading

Day 246: Recycle
So as promised yesterday, today I am recycling an old daily challenge, one of my first really: the pantry. Back on Day 4, I was realizing that my completely chaotic and utterly overflowing pantry was a daily nuisance to me, … Continue reading
Day 242: Straighten
OK, enough with the feelings for now. Time to empty a box or two. I haven’t really messed with the garage/ basement since we moved in last month. There are still some boxes down there that haven’t been touched. And … Continue reading
Day 220: Shuffle
OK, today might be a bit of a cheat–but it’s something. We have had a modest pile of boxes sitting in the front room of our house. They were neatly piled, but still: a pile of boxes is a pile … Continue reading
