Tackle it Tuesday - My Basement!

My husband and I have been offered jobs in Eastern North Carolina.  On the positive side, this will be much closer to my parents and the rest of my family.  The negative part is that this will involve moving, selling our house, and purging through all of our belongings.  We have way too much stuff […]

Tackle it Tuesday: Organizing Photos

A few months ago Michael’s had their photo boxes on sale and I decided it would be a good time to get all of the photo boxes that I needed to organize my photos.  Although the pretty and trendy ones looked nice and appealing, I decided it wouldn’t be thrifty to purchase boxes that would go […]

Tacke it Tuesday: Paper Clutter

If there is a chore that I will procrastinate it is definitely paper clutter.  I absolutely hate going through papers, reading them, filing them, shredding them, recycling them.  Ugh!!!! All of the Christmas shopping, decorating, wrapping, and get togethers made it a bit too easy for me to put the paper clutter on hold.  So today […]

Tackle it Tuesday: O Christmas Tree!

Last week, I had hubby put up the Christmas tree.  Although it didn’t seem like it at the time, it was good that it took him a few days to get the box of ornaments out for me.  It seems our cat needed a few days to become acclamated to having a Christmas tree. I found out that the […]

Tackle it Tuesday - The Hall Closet

Recently, I have been trying to tackle some of the out of control areas in my home.  I am pleased to say that I finished another project today. 

 We had a shelf in our hall closet where we kept medicine, lotion, and stuff like that.  Everything was on the same level, and it was hard to find anything.  […]
