Recently widowed, I too notice that. I pay almost as much for a 1/2 dozen eggs as the price for a full dozen - which I don't need. Same with milk - I only need a quart, but end up with a gallon bec...
I got a bunch in a set at Walmart - managed to get one of the undershelf and 2 that sit on top of the shelf into the cupboard where I keep all my eating/serving/mixing plates/bowls/platters. I have...
Pothos work really well for this. For years, I'd cut off the leggy stems, trim them down and root them in water for a month or so, then put them back in with the original plant when I repotted it. ...
Glidden's Eastern Lighthouse. It looks greeny-gray at some times of the day, and gray-green at others. I painted my bedroom more than a year ago and still love it.
I love maps, and have since my jr. high/high school days when my grandparents took their lives on the road in a Winnebago. They'd send postcards to my brother and I, so my mom tacked a large map of...
My very first apartment had a long living room wall covered in green burlap - the stuff was a magnet for dust and lint, and was a pita to try to keep clean.
It's pretty evenly matched here between the "keep" and the "get rid of", so you're probably just as confused as when you started. ;->
To throw my two cents worth in, I'd vote for keeping, at ...
It's amazing how such a simple thing can make such a big difference - I definately notice a difference in my sleep and waking mood if I let my bedside table get cluttered. I now try to make clearin...
Along with that first night box that LilyC mentions, be sure to include toilet paper, lightbulbs, a set-up for coffee/tea if you can't start your morning without it, an all-purpose surface cleaner ...
I've dealt with this problem soooo many times in the past few years! Recently, while looking at something I'd inherited and wondering (yet again) what to do with it, I could almost hear my grammy, ...
I just had a thought and now I'm curious: I'm wondering how many of us grew up with someone who was, let's say older than early teens during the Depression, and who was a major influence in our liv...
11 months after getting married and moving into my husband's house, I still have at least a dozen boxes in a rented storage unit. At least one of those boxes is magazines for God's sake! Issues of ...
Guess this would only work if you have people actually staying at your place and you live where it snows...
A few years ago my family decided to have Christmas at my place - a small ap...
Just curious - and maybe a topic for a separate posting, but where does everyone actually keep their medicines? Bathrooms get too hot and humid, so...?

For 10 years I lived in an apartment that had dusk on/dawn off automatic lights that lit my parking space all the way to my front door. (Since it was a small complex and most of us were friends, we...
Actually, wompwompwomp, that's not a bad idea if it's what works.
I've used a number of stratigies, including playing "What if.." The best one, and one that I'm still using is "What if...
I've also had a couple of people not show up, but I usualy arrange for a time for them to pick up by, or to call if they'll be late. I do allow for a bit of extra time in case of traffic or getting...
From the packrat's perspective (because I am one, although I'm not a hoarder) there are "reasons" why we've kept the stuff we have. Over the past few years, I've tried different things to help me l...
Guess I'm still a kid at heart because I love the snowflake mobile! I think something like that, frosted with glitter, would look pretty in the window with a Christmas tree behind them.

Very nice - pretty and serene. I love that you have the bookcase in the bedroom - I thought I was the only one to do that.
