Well, here I am–a fifth of the way through this challenge, and I still feel like I have a LOOOONG way to go. Of course, that’s partly because the last couple weeks my challenges have been pretty small (so I haven’t noticed as much of an overall difference in our apartment), but it’s nice to …
Okay, I’ll confess: I’m a bit embarrassed to let you see the before shots on what was in my purse. I knew it had gotten bad (really bad), but I guess I was still in a slight state of denial because I had somehow let it get to this: And, if you really want to …

Even though we regularly (okay, every 3 or so months) clean out our fridge, I was still a little wary of last week’s to-do list. I mean, I knew there were containers hanging out in the back that had been there since skinny jeans started becoming big, and I was a little nervous to find …
If you remember from last week’s post, this week’s challenge was all about clearing the clutter from the countertops in the kitchen.
