Sometimes as I do these posts, I wonder if I should be embarrassed to let the world see some of these horrendous “before” pictures (kind of like my “before” picture of the car, since it is proof of how much I love Tootsie Rolls.) But with each week, I try to squash any feelings of …
Despite feeling a bit under the weather this last weekend, I still managed to take about 3 hours to go through all my clothes and revamp my whole closet scheme. I managed to part with almost 60 items of clothing and/or shoes, and I felt so invigorated by the whole business that I made …
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 …

Like, I’ve been literally counting down the weeks until we’d be able to afford the massive shelf it would take. (For the to-do list for organizing the pantry, go …
So this last week’s challenge was all about organizing my recipes, and although I knew I needed to go through all mine, I didn’t realize how out of control it had gotten. I mean, by the end of it, I had gotten rid of over TWENTY-FIVE cookbooks and cooking magazines. That’s just crazy. And as …
