Making my home better, one day at a time
I feel like that’s the theme of my life right now. To be honest, that’s probably always the theme. Cleaning my home, decluttering, and reorganizing isn’t glamorous work. It’s necessary, and I hold out hope that the end result will be glamorous and worth the effort. It’s not just cleaning where that ethos is present. …
I find that I have constantly shifting priorities, and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone. One day, cleaning my home is my biggest priority. The next day, getting reading done for work might be number one. I feel like I have a hard time getting the balance right. It’s easy to say yes to family …

I knew starting here would be easier than tackling my overwhelming beast of a living room, and I was right. There were small pockets of clutter in the bedroom, but it was in much better shape to begin with, so it's an easy win. There are still long-term projects to undertake - I'd like to …
My bedroom is relatively tidy, but I struggle with a few spots. Also, my relative tidiness is probably other people's messy nightmare, but I'm here to take baby steps.
