Enough Procrastination ~ And Clutter!!

-
source: alainn bella
Well, hopefully I can get through more of my list, but as you know, procrastination is one of my talents.

 This Tuesday, I hope to clear off our dining room sideboard. It is an antique, beautiful, and perfect for collecting clutter. I am hoping to sell it off, with the dining set, and simplify our lives a little more. 

 No big, heavy and difficult to move, clutter inducing furniture.

 It is a never ending battle we have against clutter. Every few years I get the itch to get rid of a huge amount of things, and this year it is hitting me strong. 

 So today, I hope to continue the purging. I have already purged some of our Christmas decorations, de-cluttered my dresser and nightstand (also clutter magnets), filed and got rid of old papers that piled up in another room, and finally have the kitchen pared down a bit.

Now on to dining room and sideboard clutter! I know it doesn't look look THAT bad, no Hoarders here or anything. But it still is clutter that weighs me down, and by the way, our coffee table is much worse. Wish me luck! 

 Do you try to tackle your to-do-list on Tuesday too? (What was leftover from Monday perhaps?) 

 And if you have and tips on getting through everything on your list, and keeping clutter at bay, please share. I love reading organization and decluttering tips, it is motivation for me!

    I'm planning a post on this very subject! Clutter - physical clutter, electronic clutter, mental clutter... we hates it precious, we hates it! I periodically go through purges... I'm not experiencing one right now but I suspect after the holidays... oh boy!

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
