Keeping on!

Made more progress today. I really love seeing the horizontal surfaces reappear. Doing this at 20 minute intervals daily really makes it so much more bearable; I don't feel overwhelmed. Progress not perfection ~ that's great!

Help Me!

This is a picture of my bedside reading 'pile'.

I try to keep it to a dull roar but seem to have lost the ability to read one thing at a time anymore.

I read almost every night before I go to bed. Part of the problem is that I am usually too tired by the time I get there to do any real, quality reading so I skim a book or two.

Then I am sure that I will want to read more about it tomorrow, when I definitely… Continue

Getting Started

I just started my Spring Clean today and am very happy with the progress that I made in my task to de-clutter. I would say that my bedroom seems to be the most popular place for the "homeless" items to accumulate and it's time to make it a place of rest and romance and not the "Island of Misfit Toys". I enjoy seeing instant results; it keeps me motivated.

My First Day of the Spring Into Spring Challenge!

Yesterday I did my first Spring Into Spring 20 minute session. The pictures above show a before and after shot of the boxes I used to declutter.

It flew by, and I was dropping things into the give away box left, right and center.

I also got a few sweaters out of my drawer that I won't be needing until next year and a bit of garbage out.

I was amazed at how much… Continue

My Intro

Hi ! I'm Lisa - a WAHM mommy with 3 little boys.

Do you have a family?

William is 4 in a couple of weeks, Samuel is 2 and Tristan is 7months old. They are all active, busy, loud, excited, far more energetic than me, cuter than anything and both the most frustrating aspect and the best part of everyday of my life.

I make my days even fuller by working a Tupperware business (www.inlisaskitchen.com) and a newly started Passion Party business as well as help… Continue

The Power of 5 Minutes

The target of the day was to deep clean the counter... to take 5 minutes and move things... wipe under them... on top... get rid of stuff... you know the drill.

I was cleaning up some things that I was behind on anyway, so it was a good fit. We have a window behind our counter that often gets neglected so while I was moving things, I decided to take an extra 5 minutes and take a swipe at it.

I didn't aim for perfection, just… Continue

About Me

I am married with 3 kids - 2 daughters ages 10 and 15 and a son who is 17.

After studying to become a nutritional consultant and reiki master, I had planned to open my own health food store - natural health had been an obsession with me since my kids where born.

With my husband being away working most of the time, I was essentially living as a single mom with occasional back up, so in the end I decided that it would be too much time away from the kids and decided to look… Continue
