Country living is fantastic. Except the part where there is no garbage disposal in the kitchen sink. When we stay in the mountains, I swear thatâs the worst part. Getting every single morsel into the trash can and not letting anything down the drain. And while Iâm so grateful for my disposal, Iâm careful what […]
Do you get as excited about trash day as I do? Truly, itâs my second favorite day. Right behind sheet laundry day. If youâre thinking, hmmm, the woman went over the edge on this one, sit back and consider how you might make trash day both productive and enjoyable. Okay, maybe the process isnât too […]
I LOVE a clean house. But thatâs not always doable. I mean, spring only comes once a year, right? But a tidy house? Iâve found just following a few easy habits every day means I always have a tidy house. And thatâs better than nothing. So letâs leave âcleanâ off the table for this discussion. […]
The dog days of summer are certainly not the days to be considering anything as earth-shaking as deep cleaning. But it can be a good time to dive in to clean the nooks and crannies that might not get addressed in your regular chores. If you need some motivation to get into some small, but […]

You knew this would happen. You knew I would again be amazed at how fast time is flying. Can you believe we are saying, âGoodbye, Januaryâ? And are you saying âGood riddanceâ? January has been a really good and fun month for me, but I am DONE with the cold. By the way, are you […]
The AC was off for an entire 24-hours so Iâm declaring it finally fall! Itâs been more Margaritaville than Apple Ciderville here. So I’ve been late getting into the spirit of the season, but here we go. My laser-focus super powers allowed me to ignore high temperatures and pull out a few fall things. And […]
Titling this post âDownsizingâ orâ Declutteringâ doesnât really describe how Iâve been spending my time lately. But âLiving with Lessâ does. Moving to a smaller house and downsizing would be great, but itâs just not in the cards right now. Or in the foreseeable future. And my house doesnât really need decluttering because I tidy […]
I literally typed August and had to edit to September. Because just like that [SNAP!] August is over and a new season is about to start. With just a little bit of this and that on my mind, hereâs my September 2023 Potpourri report! Have I told you lately how much I appreciate you and […]
