Someone New to Love

Introducing... my newest grandson, Damien!


Babies epitomize maximum gratitude and minimal stuff.  They come to us with nothing but themselves, yet we are thrilled to welcome them.





My daughter is well, despite some last minute complications.  My son-in-law continues to be a kind and supportive husband and father, and my favorite little boy, my grandson Elliot, is excited to be Damien's big brother.  Love seems to fill all our hearts and overflow with thanksgiving for the new member of our family.





Damien is satisfied with so little.  


What he really wants is Mama's milk, a clean diaper, a warm blanket, and enfolding arms.


Along with his car seat, a cradle, onesies, swaddling cloths, booties, a cap for his head, a baby wrap, and maybe some diaper cream, his basic needs will be met for the first few months.  Just add smiling faces, quiet words and songs, cuddling and kisses, and you've covered the essentials!


What are our essentials... really?

The Best Way to Clear Clutter (Plus 12 Steps to a Successful Spending Freeze)

By

A friend asked me to help her clear her clutter, and as I walked into her house I thought of that statistic which says that the average American home contains 300,000 items . That number seems impossible, but this house made me a believer. There are a lot of ways to begin decluttering, but the tower of delivery boxes and shopping bags in my friend's entryway gave me a clue about what might be most important for her. Maybe it's the most important step for you too. The essential first step You aren't going to succeed at decluttering unless you take a hard look at your consumption habits.  That's because decluttering is as much about what comes in as what goes out. The best way to clear clutter is to reduce what you bring in . Decluttering takes commitment and discipline, and a good way to begin developing both of those qualities is with a spending fast .  You need to stop buying everything except necessities:  food, gas, personal care items, and things you need for clea

6 Easy (and Possibly Surprising) Ways to Keep Your Home Clutter-Free

There's a reason you decluttered, and it's not so you could let clutter take over again. Maintenance is every bit as important as decluttering in the first place. I'm not an extreme minimalist, but my husband and I live very comfortably in our 800-square-foot apartment, with three young grandsons who visit and play there regularly and even stay overnight sometimes. We own art and books and have hobbies and toys, but it's all very manageable. It's easy to clean, and it's comfortable and welcoming when we come home or if we relax around the house for an evening or the weekend. If you long to create your own minimalist home, it's important to realize that living with less requires a shift in mindset. If you don't change the way you think and feel about possessions, you won't stay clutter-free for long. Meanwhile, here are maintenance tips I've found helpful, with some that might surprise you.

6 Things to Ditch Before They Become a Burden for Your Kids

My dad saved film canisters of old Laurel and Hardy movies, thinking they'd be valuable someday. Nope. My mom saved piles of costume jewelry, thinking my sister and I (or our daughters) would want them. Nope. It used to be common for parents to pass furniture, china, silver, and other "family heirlooms" to their children, and some Baby Boomers are no doubt planning to do the same. In reality, these pieces may be more of a burden than a blessing for heirs, who do not want them and need to somehow dispose of them. It might be hard to learn that most of the stuff we value isn't valuable . Even the things we worry about the most, the things we think are so good that we hardly use them for fear of breaking or staining them, have little or no resale value. The market has been flooded with castoffs such as china cabinets, entertainment centers, tea sets, crystal, collectible figurines, and more. Millennials, the next generation of buyers, don't want them. After all, Mill

Downsize Now: Why You Should Start Death Cleaning Today

Okay, you've tidied, and you've organized, and you have a lot of cute bins, and you even fold your socks and underwear differently. But you want to declutter for good. You want a solution to over-accumulation that lasts. Enter the Swedish art of death cleaning, or as they call it, döstädning . (Basically just pronounce everything, like you do with my last name.) Contrary to your first impression, death cleaning isn't dark or morbid. It's a very practical way of tidying like there's no tomorrow, because someday there won't be . Now, I hope you and I are going to live for many more years. And I'm certain that we're going to buy more stuff. But we have better things to do than box things up and shuffle them around, sort, clean, and spend way too much time organizing our sock drawers. We aren't infinite. Death cleaning is a mindset that helps you realize that you don't have forever to get your life in order. And if you don't do it – well, have yo

Why Hanging on to Skinny Clothes Hurts You - and How to Get Free

We hang on to clothes that clutter our closets for all the wrong reasons.   I'm in my early 60's.  As far as clothing sizes go, I've worn everything from a size 5 (briefly) to a 3XL.  I can relate to someone's desire to hold on to their skinny clothes until they fit again.  After all, you spent good money for them.  They remind you of your younger days, and they're still in good condition.  Yes, I know all the excuses. Home organizer Bonnie Borromeo Tomlinson is blunt about it: Hands down, the number-one reason most clients hold onto clothes that they no longer wear is the agonizingly inaccurate "incentive" mentality – the holding onto of clothes, one-to-several sizes too small, as inspiration to get thin.  It's a popular tool, and one that rarely if ever actually works.  Of all the motivational measures you may find to lose weight, this isn't it. The awful truth In the meantime, that old pair of jeans is working against you.  Consider the self-tor
