http://www.cleansmartsimplestyle.com/2013/02/love-to-love-your-home-revisited.html

Love to love your home- revisited.

I'm happy to say that I still love to love my home, and I hope that you do too. The phrase "I love to love my home," came to me when I was working on my About. Of my energy is spent on my home.

Clean, Smart, Simple Style: Why I'm here

http://www.cleansmartsimplestyle.com/2010/11/why-im-here.html

She basically said that it's ok to allow yourself to do something JUST for fun. It is ok (and a good idea! However far fetched it may be. If you love to paint, paint. If you love to write, write.

The idea for this blog came from more list making (as if this blog wasn't already proof enough about how type A I am! Blogging (I also have a blog about my family that is somewhat more private than this one), and reading blogs.

Clean, Smart, Simple Style: The Binder Bandwagon- hop on!

http://www.cleansmartsimplestyle.com/2011/02/binder-bandwagon-hop-on.html

The Binder Bandwagon- hop on! Since we don't have an office, or a whole lot of counter space, I try to use a countertop mail organizer to keep all of our bills, receipts, pens, pencils, notepads, etc in one space. "Try" being the operative words here. In theory, it's an organized space- but this is how it actually looks 90% of the time.

http://www.cleansmartsimplestyle.com/2011/07/laundry-room-re-do.html

My latest obsession has been surrounding laundry rooms. Check out these beautiful spaces. Top Left: kevin and amanda. Anyway, I was...
