As a high schooler back in Manchester, England. I wore a school uniform M-F. On the weekends I had about 2-3 outfits. It was England so summer clothes were kind of nonexistent. Too chilly for shorts and tees. That said, my mother must have done washing 24-7 to keep up with my distinct lack...

Decide what needs to go first. Make the first notation on your to do list. Make a second entry. Third entry. Fourth. Fifth. Tenth...

I’m the worst person to buy for. I buy few clothes for myself as my tastes and specifications are very limited. I can search racks and racks at a clothing store and find only one or maybe two items that I can tolerate. I don’t play video games. I don’t listen to music on...

Yesterday I was lamenting the nonappearance of the dinnertime fairy. Wouldn’t it be lovely to have a little fairy swoop in. Come up with a dinner menu for the week. Buy the food. Cook the food. Set the table. Clean up after the meal. In short do everything. Aaahhhh, a mom can dream can’t...

On the rack. Off the peg. Fits like a glove. Stylish. These are all terms that make me think of fashion. I would dearly love to get all “Project Runway” when shopping for clothes. I’d love to “Make it work” a la Tim Gunn. But the reality is that shopping online or in a...

Coffee. Juice. Soy Sauce. Lasagna. What do these 4 items have in common besides tasting good? Stains and lots of them. Ever try to get juice out of a kid’s shirt? Or a pasta sauce stain out of a crisp white blouse? Yeah, good luck with that! Juice, soy sauce, and spaghetti sauce are...

I’m not what you would call a super-duper housewife. I clean when I have to do. I declutter when the mood strikes. The problem is that I never know when a cleaning mood will strike. This weekend was one of those times. I saw an opportunity to not only declutter but do it with...
