Soon-To-Be-Fall Cleaning

I think I'll be doing some housekeeping around here.

I might add some links to useful sites about simplicity, organization, decorating, etc.

Baby Steps.

Keeping Up

Well, it seems as if my life is becoming more complicated rather than more simple. In addition to being a full-time mama, I work a "regular" job in an office, and I've had to put in overtime lately.

Perhaps I should institute some sort of schedule so that I can get one or two things done at home nightly, rather than giving in to feeling overwhelmed and paralyzed by everything staring me in the face and doing nothing at all.

Baby Steps (still)

As stated in the previous post, the midwest portion of the Simple Pleasures crew recently took up residence in a house with a yard. Adventures, with hilarity, have ensued. I should share some of those. However, I haven't forgotten my focus on Sleep and Baby Steps, including those tiny little steps to simplicity and a life that is uncluttered, both physically and psychologically.

In tidying up my bedroom (still not completely unpacked from my move nearly two months ago, but such is life), I found a packet of diapers (nappies) that my little guy has long since outgrown. I didn't know what to do with them, but it occurred to me that I could donate them to any place that would have little children roaming around on a regular basis. So this morning (a nice sunny Monday morning, in point of fact), I took them with me to the daycare and left them with the toddler-age teacher, who was immensely appreciative.

The best part? Everyone benefited from that little arrangement!
