One mama's quest to pare down, lighten up, and tune in to what really matters. Wednesday, September 28, 2011. This happened a while ago, but, being somewhat behind in my odd news consumption, I just heard about the woman who was found buried under clutter in her home in Las Vegas 4 MONTHS AFTER HER DEATH. Wait - it gets worse - search dogs had already gone through the house, and her husband was still living there! Read about it here. Saturday, September 24, 2011. My Final Post for Lifeclectic! I'm going ...

This is 365 days of the joys and perils of trying to pare down to the essentials and regain some of my lost sanity. How simple is too simple? I aim to find out. View my complete profile.

One mama's quest to pare down, lighten up, and tune in to what really matters. Friday, December 24, 2010. Day 60 - Wrap Star. Every year, I have a Utopian vision of Christmas Eve. Perhaps you have a similar one? It begins with a full night of wonderful sleep (wait - I have to catch my breath from laughing so hard), a delicious homemade breakfast whipped up from scratch, and a rousing rendition of "Welcome Christmas" (you know, the song the Whos sing in "How The Grinch Stole Christmas"? And most important...

Like a little boy when I brought him home, but I was clearly mistaken. The metamorphosis started a few months ago when I spied tiny horns peeking out from beneath the two wisps of hair on his forehead. Uh-oh I thought - I'm in for trouble.
