Day 79: Flush
We have two bathroom closets, and both are in pretty bad shape. I tackled the downstairs one first, because I’m still a little overwhelmed by the thought of taking on the upstairs bathroom. There’s a whole lot of nothing in … Continue reading

Day 69: Store
Ooooohhhh! Scary basement! Yup, those are Halloween decorations piled up everywhere, and yes they have been there since the first week in November. I asked the kids to take down the decorations, and they did….but after that, everything just kind … Continue reading

Day 46: Unshoe
After socks come shoes, right? I have what I consider to be a modest collection of footwear–two pairs of dress shoes (brown and black), one pair of casual shoes, two pairs of boots, and a pair of trail shoes. Oh, … Continue reading
Day 45: Mate
