Closets

Getting ready for fall can be fun

Fall and I have a love / hate relationship. I LOVE the colours and the smells and, most of all, the temperature. Cool enough to have all the windows open with a lovely breeze but warm enough to still wear shorts and a t-shirt outside. Is there anything better...

Tame the Laundry Beast

So many people struggle to keep up on laundry.  I have had hundreds of comments from people who are drowning in piles of dirty and even clean laundry and it doesn't take long for it to completely take over your living space. I have a easy solution, it does take...

80/20 rule

I'm sure you have all heard the 80/20 rule before, "we wear 80% of our clothing 20% of the time", and it is very true in my case.  I have a few pieces that I love and wear often and then a whole closet full of others that look much better on the hanger then they do on...

Staging a Home

I was watching "Love it or List it" last night and I found myself getting super angry again. I don't watch a lot of television, but when I do, it is almost always decorating shows.  For some reason though, this particular show makes me so violently angry!...

Wallstreet Journal Here I Come!

I have been doing "vlogs" (that is what the more experienced "youtubers"  call a video blog...so dumb, I know) now for about half a year or so and have been writing my written blog for the last few months. For the most part I get really nice comments but there...

Work Smarter, Not Harder

I sometimes feel as though I am dog chasing my tail all day long. I am running around trying to get the laundry done, kids fed, house cleaned, garden watered and all the other daily mundane tasks...it seems never ending.An anonymous, man who no longer wants...

In love with my shoe…boxes

I finally understand why some women love their shoe collection.  Yesterday I decided to venture under my bed to see what treasures it held and I pulled out my tote filled with dressy shoes. I knew the tote was under there, but totally forgot about all...

Chore Lists

So, I love lists. I use them for everything from grocery shopping to future goals and dreams. I need lists to keep me on track and stay motivated. I think the simple act of taking the time to write stuff down makes me one hundred more times likely to do it!I want...

Ooohhh the horror….

My kitchen is tiny. Very freakin' tiny.  I have to store items I hardly use on top of my cupboards...which is less then ideal.  I was balancing on the top of a chair, looking for my favourite fruit tray up there when I knocked the lid behind the...

Ohhhh the insanity of being me.

On the way home from Chatham I asked Joe if we could take a detour and drive down along the water in St. Joachim. I have no idea why, but this little fart of a town in the middle of nowhere was been, and always will be, the place I want to call home. It...
