Closet cleaning

After starting to clean closets and drawers, I realize how much clothes I have that I don’t wear. It’s not that the clothes don’t fit…I just don’t wear them.

I’ve always heard the expression by organizers that if you haven’t seen or worn the clothes in a year, pack them up and get rid of them. Very wise advice.

I’ve already got three big garbage bags full of clothes and also one filled with shoes that I am going to donate to a charity.

A new look

My blog has a new look! I think the sun and the grass and all make it for a much more cheery space for me. I dread winter and now I have a piece of sunshine every day! To me it’s a happy format!

Busy days

It’s time to pack away all the summer and semi fall things and get out the winter items that I’m sure we will be needing sooner than we all think. I’ve been shopping for various items to “survive” this winter, and stocking up on food stuff that can be heated up in a few minutes. That, I’m not really worried too much about, since I have a gas stove and oven. Still, if the power goes out it will be easier to cook simple things. Needless to say, I hate the winters here but they indeed come and it’s better to be prepared.

A face lift

My blog got a new face! I’m rather happy with it, actually. To be honest, there wasn’t much to choose from and am still thinking about going back to the original, since this one might not be so “me” after all, but like I said, I’m kind of happy with it. It’s making me feel a bit younger. And lets face it, most of us really could use that. I’ve got a great friend that is so patient with me when I need feel the “need” to make changes about things in my life. Plus she helps me a lot with other issues about blogging and in personal matters she has always been so supportive. I’ve been blessed with some very awesome friends for that, I’m thankful.
