Want to play Shuffle Stuff with me?

Well, we've avoided a crisis.

We arrived home Saturday evening, after being away for 6 days, only to discover that we'd left behind the power cord for our laptop... and its battery was dead.

Would we be able to survive computerless while waiting for it to be mailed back to us?

Thank goodness we didn't have to find out.
We found a universal cord at the local electronics shop.

Crisis averted!

Since we were away this week, I was unable to work on Project Simplicity.



Better late than never!
So once the suitcases were unpacked, the washer and dryer were humming along, and the fridge and pantry were restocked... I could focus on...

Hot Spot # 3 : Kids Clothes & Toys

Oliver's wardrobe is one area that I have been bound and determined to keep on top of.
Back when I was pregnant and waiting for little Ollie, I washed and sorted all of the tiny outfits that we'd so generously been given.

It was then that I gave myself the goal that he would wear everything at least once.
And so far so good.

As Ollie grows out of his clothes, I store them away into bins in the closet and move the next size up from the bottom drawer of his dresser.


Now, toys are a different story.

As Oliver grows, so does his collection of toys.
And since our home of the moment (new house is less than a month away!)
is a tiny rented condo, space is a little bit of an issue.

Please note all of the stuff around the closet instead of in it.


Most days, I feel like I'm playing a game which I like to call "Shuffle Stuff".


The rules are pretty simple. 

1.  Shuffle stuff between baskets and bins and boxes and drawers.
2.  Shuffle piles of stuff from one room to another.
3.  Shuffle stuff to get to the other stuff that you need.

And make sure that the stuff that you need is at the back of a closet behind layers and layers of stuff and more stuff!


Well, I've tackled that stuff by giving it away, throwing it away, and packing it away.

Here's the result...


Please note the lack of stuff around the closet.

I had a successful round of Shuffle Stuff with this bin underneath the crib...


...and this little basket...


Today's game of Shuffle Stuff turned out rather well...

...in fact...

I think, for a change...

I won.


Thanks for stopping by.

  2. I've been living with Parkinson’s for years, and while medications helped for a while, the symptoms always came back sometimes even worse.
    Out of curiosity (and a bit of desperation), I tried an herbal program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. I was skeptical, but around four months in, I noticed real changes: fewer tremors, less stiffness, better sleep, and more control over my movements.
    It wasn’t a quick fix, but the steady progress gave me hope and results. I feel more like myself again.
    If you’re exploring natural ways to manage Parkinson’s, this might be worth looking into. It’s made a big difference in my life.

  3. I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) four years ago. For over two years, I relied on prescription medications and therapies, but unfortunately, the symptoms continued to worsen. My breathing became more laboured, and I experienced increasing fatigue and shortness of breath with even minimal activity.Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic.Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My breathing became easier, the tightness in my chest eased, and I felt more energetic and capable in my daily life. Incredibly, I also regained much of my stamina and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve felt in years.If you or a loved one is struggling with IPF, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.
