KonMari Phase 1: Declutter My Closet Until I’m Forced to Become a Nudist
As you know from yesterday’s post, I’ve recently boarded the KonMari crazy train. Welcome aboard! If you haven’t read my overview of the KonMari Method, I suggest you start there. Otherwise I’ll just look like a lunatic, rather than a lunatic with a guide book. Huge difference. My plan is to write about purging my house of…
The KonMari Method: Bring on the Hype!
I’ll admit it. I love hype. All types of hype. Even hype that comes in the form of a tiny book written by a *possibly* crazy woman who is telling us to throw out all of our things. To this I say: Let’s burn down the closets! By now you probably realize that I’m speaking…
It’s Our 3rd Wedding Anniversary, And WOW Are We Hot!
Today Brian and I celebrate our third wedding anniversary. I woke up to the sounds of Brian’s voice yelling my name outside our window. My first thought was romance.

How We Spend Our Days

I agreed to go because I was invited and, um, night out. Moms, I think you will feel me here: at when the chance…
Things I’m Doing for Fun on My 36th Birthday
Today I turned 36. I’m kind of getting old, but not super old. Just kind of worn. Like a couch that doesn’t need to be reupholstered, exactly, but that could use some throw pillows to perk it back up a bit. (Note: If anyone wants to get me a birthday present I’d totally be into…
