all is calm.

By Emily | Published: December 20, 2010
Something has recently settled down a bit – and I can only hope it has an internal affect in me as well. Awhile back I started out with a disaster of a home office area— no space to work, and piles on top of piles. Then after some tedious painful steps, I got to this— much [...]

breaking it down.

By Emily | Published: November 22, 2010
Likely you’ve caught on by now that keeping up is an issue for me. (And I am in no way referring to the Jones’ family.) I’m talking the day-to-day stuff like losing my keys or phone, the piles of unrelated clutter, and tasks left undone that now look too overwhelming to tackle. {I am beautifully [...]

the bright side.

By Emily | Published: November 15, 2010
Your windows just got a remodel. Your sky just got brighter. It can be a cloudy day, but no longer gloomy. This is a a big deal. It’s a sunless Monday and here’s what one of my north-side windows has to say about it: Hear the bells tolling??? Thank you white snow for catching the [...]

having a sinking feeling.

By Emily | Published: November 4, 2010
What it is about mood – and why does it have to swing? From one day feeling so good – light on the feet and optimistic to the next day (as in today), not so much. Knowing yesterday was quite something I snapped a photo as proof of this possibility of a mid-week day feeling [...]

right is right.

And what is this prize you may wonder?? Good question. I stumbled upon this great product line one week ago and now proudly own a couple of items by Norwex, but with my pain-in-the-neck last week I didn’t get to play with them, therefore not being able to see for myself if they were utterly [...]

tag: i’m it! because i can.

Thanks to she-seeks-and-finds Julie, I am the proud owner of aqua and canary yellow curtains. And SHR let me leave their premises with this way to good of a deal wallpaper. (sshhh!) Recall, I didn’t hog all the rolls. With some fun things to get creative with – and Julie stopping in for an afternoon [...]

i got tagged! school basket dilemma.

By Emily | Published: October 15, 2010
So I took a bit of action on this battle of paper. It hasn’t resolved or fixed any of my problems. But it was fun and will be useful. First things first, Crissy asked what do I do with school paper and projects. Once I get it off my desk (challenge number one) most of [...]

striking out.

By Emily | Published: October 5, 2010
Sometimes the game and craft of seeking out steals and deals has its aches and pains. STRIKE ONE | STRIKE TWO | STRIKE THREE | Three great gold retro chrome rimmed tables. That’s three people! Any of which would be perfect for entering an aqua kitchen after rounding the corner of my gold living room. [...]

tag, i’m it: office space.

By Emily | Published: September 27, 2010
Oh. The pain. The forcing myself to sit and go through papers and random objects. 3 bins. Yes. This system was very helpful. Also, knowing I needed a push so badly I tagged myself. Also wise. Do I need to keep this? Throw this? Or it needs more attention and time then I am capable [...]
