TL;DR: A closet remodel is one of the best gifts I have ever given myself. You may remember how I used the January Cure to emotionally cope with the Omnicron lockdown. One of my major projects was to reorganize my closet. Don’t remember the very large crack in my sanity? That’s ok – here are […]
January Cure: Closet Under the Stairs Reveal & Roundup
Alright, so the January Cure is over! I did it! Sort of. I did a lot of the things. But I also skipped some of the things in order to focus on other parts…like sexifying the closet under the stairs! Earlier in the challenge, if you recall, I did a bit of clean up. Gutted […]
January Cure: Day 15 – Declutter the Bedroom
I typically think of my bedroom as the one place in the house that is consistently clutter and stress-free. However, as I assessed the bedroom for this project, I realized it may have gotten a little messy and I just didn’t notice. Time to declutter the bedroom! So much stuff had accumulated on and around […]
January Cure: Day 12 – Make Home Project Progress
Oh HEY! I know y’all thought I forgot about this or dropped the ball…I did not. I’ve been a busy bee working away on my tasks. I do have some updates I’ll share about some of the previous days, but this one is MEATY and kind of exciting. I got to make some home project […]
January Cure: Day 8 – Organize a Closet…oops
Today’s assignment was NOT Organize a Closet – I completely went off the rails. But for good reason!. The assignment was actually to Reset My Living Room. Here is my cooped-up, crazy logic here. We just came out of December…which was Evelyn’s birthday and Christmas. THERE WAS STUFF EVERYWHERE. Christmas decorations and loads and loads […]
January Cure: Day 7 – Closet Cleanout
Finally! A terrifying prospect. I equally love and loathe a closet cleanout. Today’s challenge was to just spend 30 minutes cleaning out the closet and only (potentially) discard five items. Yet again, I knew I would choose the advanced version of the course. Look at my enthusiasm. You see, I’ve spent the pandemic in a […]
January Cure: Day 5 – Roborock S7 Rocked It
Day 5 was a good one! Deep clean all the floors and treat myself to flowers. Again, this is an area where I think our typical OCD made things a bit easier for me…and I’m thankful for it since we have plenty of open floor space. We have robot vacuums on each floor to help […]
January Cure: Day 4 – Toss Expired Items
I wish I could take credit for our house being mostly void of expired items, but I can’t. CJ is really great about making sure that all of our food, medications, and cleaning supplies are within “use by” dates. I am, however, really glad that Apartment Therapy mentioned cosmetics in the Day 4 guidance! I’m […]
January Cure: Day 3 – Make an Outbox – and Progress!
Outbox The basic gist of Day 3 of the January Cure was to make an outbox and put one thing in it. I get it. Start small. You don’t have to get rid of the thing. I feel like this works well for folks who don’t LOVE to purge the way I do. So naturally, […]
January Cure: Day 2 – Make a Home Project To-Do List
After yesterday’s slight overachievement – de-cluttering five drawers instead of one – today I am going to ONLY do the list. (Although, there’s a not-so-small part of me that wants to take on a few more drawers tonight!) Ok…so make a home project to-do list. Sweet. I’m a game producer; lists are my life. According […]
