ByTeresa Wymetalek November 30, 2024

We recently got back from a trip through Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. Tons of driving and we didn’t stay in the same hotel for more than one night. Thankfully, we packed for warmer weather and kept our luggage pretty light. That made it much easier to shlep…

Downsizing the Holidays

ByTeresa Wymetalek September 30, 2024October 1, 2024

No question about it, the hardest things to declutter are sentimental items. It hasn’t been too hard for me to declutter for my current season in life with a huge chunk of things. I don’t need to store my triathlon bike, that season is behind me.  If I do choose to take it up again,…

ByTeresa Wymetalek September 15, 2024

I was recently organizing kitchenware at our local Restore (Habitat for Humanity) and I mentally went through a list of things to pass on when on vacation.

The Death Cleanse Is Not So Scary

ByTeresa Wymetalek August 5, 2024August 5, 2024

I feel like Margareta Magnusson’s ‘The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning’ has been out forever. I had no idea that when I first read it back in 2018 it was a new publication.
