This week I regained my focus … I went through some books.
I know this is a touchy subject for many book lovers. I love to read books too, but I have . . . → Read More: Tidy-Up Thursday – 75 in 75 Challenge – Week 6

If you have been following the 75 in 75 Challenge, you know that I am streamlining, simplifying…becoming more minimalist.
To that end, I have been eliminating many things from my home. Some I have donated, some I have given away, and some I have sold.
In the process I have collected a pile of things to list on eBay, CraigsList or Amazon, and before I listed everything there, I thought I would give you the opportunity to get them first.

This week my focus area was my jewelry. I am not a big jewelry person, and I have a few classic pieces that I wear all the time, so I don’t vary much. . . . → Read More: Tidy-Up Thursday – 75 in 75 Challenge – Week 4

I thought I would take a concept from Adam Baker’s book Sell Your Crap and go focus on one area. This week I picked my closet. This was in part because I had just . . . → Read More: Tidy-Up Thursday – 75 in 75 Challenge – Week 3

Okay, I am downright addicted…to Zen Habits. Be still my beating heart!
Where have I been all of these years, I really do not know.
But, just the other day, after discovering Man Vs. Debt (and then reading Sell Your Crap), I was also led to Leo Babauta of Zen Habits.
I’ve been reading ever since…devouring every drop of the written word on the entire site…okay, not quite every word.
You see, Leo is a minimalist. And, he is also very much about organizing, decluttering, and living simply – all of which resonate with me at a deep level.

Looking ahead to the end of the year (and the holiday that comes with it), I am realizing that I am in need of a “spring cleaning” in the fall.
Earlier this year, as I was decluttering, I put a bunch of stuff aside in the basement for me to go through “at a later time”. Well, that was six months ago, and I figure now is “at a later time”. Really, it’s long overdue.
Check out this lovely collection of stuff:

This year I have picked up 20 lbs of tomatoes and made tomato sauce from them, but I also had a bunch of tiny grape tomatoes that ended up growing in my own garden. Although I didn’t have a bunch of them, I had enough that you couldn’t eat in one sitting and needed to be stored, so I thought I would try to dehydrate them.
Needless to say, dehydrating turns out to be one of the easiest ways you can save space too!
I had four 12×12 sheets in my Excalibur dehydrator filled . . . → Read More: Tidy-Up Thursday – Save Space – Dehydrate!
