Decluttering Tip: Footwear

I had some gently used shoes that I wanted to clear from my closet. They were still in good condition, but no longer useful to wear to work, which is the only use I had for them. I donated them to Soles for Souls (www.soles4souls.org), and that organization will provide them to someone who needs them and can put them to good use.

Unless you live in a very remote area of the continental United States, Soles for Souls will probably have a donation location available near you. Go to their website and search if you would like to find one.

You can clean out your closet and do some good at the same time.

Lovin' it!

We two here at Willow's Cottage decluttered and cleaned out the shed this morning.

Gone is a really large box of stuff.  And our recycle and trash bins are fuller than they were this morning.

It's a GREAT feeling to be so many pounds lighter!

Still working

Hey, y'all! I'm still working on those home projects, including trouble-shooting on one that turned out to be not as child-proof as I'd expected. When your child is a genius, you are the proudest mom on the block but also the mom that has to be the most hyper-vigilant.

Just didn't want you to think that I forgot.

Setting up home

Hi, all! I haven't posted for a while, but I did want to mention that I've been working on some homemaking tasks, which tend to be somewhat challenging for me. I excelled in physics and ancient Greek, but keeping a clutter-free home is a difficult problem for me to solve.

In the process of tackling the above problem, I have discovered the truth of my father's highly regarded platitude, "Many tasks can be made simple, as long as you have the right tools." Getting the correct tools for cleaning and organization have begun to make all the difference in my homemaking routine.* I am hoping to have commentary with pictures up by this weekend.


*Now, if only I can figure out how to clone myself and/or obtain a timeturner, I'll be all set.
