Decluttering A Toddler’s Closet.

Today’s Closet | Gabe’s bedroom Gabe’s closet is home to all of his outgrown clothes, baby gear, clothes to grow into, AND everything he’s currently wearing. Not to mention diapers. It’s basically our baby storage as well as his closet. Before …Oh God, this is embarrassing…. Okay. Deep breaths. Here it is: (This photo isRead the whole post >>

Cleaning the Closet Clutter | Intro + Decluttering Linen Closet.

17

Although we seem to have a pretty good method for keeping our living areas clean and clutter-free most days, I have a confession: most of my closets are shoved full and cluttered. They were clean this spring after the great decluttering service from Ready Set Maids, but I’m learning that the decluttering is never done.Read the whole post >>

I miss Google Reader sharing so very much. I’ve decided to start sharing a few things I love, (mostly) without comment, here on Fridays. I am not always the most on top of things, so sometimes I’ll be posting things from months ago. Hey, blog posts don’t go stale, right? . . . . .Read the whole post >>

December Update & January Intentions.

It’s a year, which means my blog reader is filled with posts about goals and hopes and resolutions for 2012. I love talking about goals, so I’m excited about it!

After years of moving apartments and changing jobs every summer, we stayed put this year for the first time since getting married. Guess we’re growing up? While still dreaming ofRead the whole post >>

Merry Christmas! Hopefully you’re relaxing and not working and with family like we are. (If not, my sympathies! I so did that last year and it sucked.)

I’m not sure why I cared about Gabe visiting Santa, probably since my mom has a wall of Santa photos from each year and it’s fun to look at Christmastime (from tiny newborn Ashley alone to my senior year of high school with four other siblings).

Days, Months, Years.

The first few days of Gabe’s life were some of the slowest, sweetest days of my life. I remember thinking, “Oh! It’s past 2:16 am! He’s three days old!” Every morning, I declared, “X days old is my favorite age.” I was smitten. And already mourning a time when I wouldn’t measure Gabe’s life inRead the whole post >>
