In spite of not working much on the bathroom, we ARE working.  After moving Ethan into a "big" (twin-sized) bed, what little organ...

Amazingly, I'm still sticking to it.  I still haven't noticed having to carve out huge amounts of time to make it work, and the resu...

Yeesh, I'm talkative lately.  I feel like there are so many things bouncing around in my head, and I just want to post to get them all o...

I feel like a champ.  I haven't spent any (ANY!) money at all this week, and we've had home-cooked food for every meal so far. I coo...

As Ethan has gotten busier (and busier!) and takes fewer/shorter naps, I've been feeling frazzled again in the morning.  Especially when...

I so wish that there was some kind of magic wand I could wave and just have all the surplus junk leave my life instead of having to sort thr...

I've been on a major organizational bender since losing the twins.  I'm so tired of our house looking like a war zone.  I'm okay...

As you may recall, I set a goal to remove 2011 items from my home in 2011.  I started off strong, and was over 150 items by early January.  ...

We've ground to a halt on the basement reorganization of 2011.  All of our house decorations, personal mementos, and things are organize...

Yikes. While the new shelves freed up some space, I seem to have a never-ending parade of boxes and baskets that need to be stored in the ...

Shayne built me these wonderful shelves this afternoon.  They're obviously not fancy, just plywood on wall-mounted shelf brackets.  But...

In my previous post I mentioned wanting to remove 2011 things from our home in 2011.  I just started 2 days ago, and I'm already 6% ther...

I had originally vowed to get 150 things out of the house by Christmas, but we got a little behind.  Then I thought I'd have it done by ...

We have bulemia of possessions.  In the week before Ethan's first birthday party, Shayne decided to go through his boxes in the basement...

Please excuse the crappy cell phone photo, but I just had to share my newest Craigslist find... I love Craigslist.  In case you can't...

Every year since I was 4, my mom and I have headed "Up North" for vacation during the summer (and more recently, sometimes in the ...

It's currently 49°F here at the Prairie Box, and I'm freezing my buns off.  I'm at that lovely stage of pregnancy (the end!!) wh...

Today I tackled the "back porch". Somehow, we can't seem to call it anything else, even though it's been enclosed for yea...

I seem have caught a case of house bulemia recently. All of the clutter and chaos is just driving me mad. I've been going into too man...

I'm feeling very motivated and proud of myself. Week 1 was a success, and I managed to complete all of the tasks assigned. I just boug...
