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 […]
January Cure: Day 1 – Declutter a Drawer
Hello, Friends! It’s Been A Long, Long Time… (You’re welcome, for the Bing break!) I’m coming out of hibernation to share something I’m really excited about FINALLY participating in: The January Cure! This has been around on Apartment Therapy for years (maybe more than a decade) and I have always wanted to DO IT. The […]
