Last week I mentioned my need to thin out a couple of “collections” I have.  Long ago WAY back in 8th grade–I learned to sew.  I had grown up watching my Mom sew our clothes, Barbie doll outfits, Halloween costumes–she did it all.  But, when I learned to do it myself, a whole new world…

The first place I am beginning my whole de-cluttering campaign (you can read about my awakening here) is with paperwork.  One of the biggest sources of the paperwork backup in our home is school papers the boys bring home on a weekly basis. The sheer volume can be overwhelming– there’s worksheets, graded tests, permission slips,…

  (photo by Jeff Werner) I’ve been perusing social media lately and I’ve noticed that many of you are doing the whole de-cluttering your home thing right now.  I just have one request–can you come do my house? I started noticing the tell-tale signs of us needing to do this a couple of weeks ago….

We have finally arrived! Over the past several weeks we completed all that needed to be repaired, added, and spruced up on our camper. My final part was to make some curtains–so we have some privacy at night–and make a cushion–so Super Rockstar and I can have a wee bit more sleeping surface. Here’s how…

My mission should I choose to accept it–make new covers for the camper cushions.  Da na naaaa  Da na naaa! BOM BOM!  bom bom  BOM BOM! Sewing is something learned to do WAY back in junior high.  I fancied myself a fashion expert–since I was on the cutting edge in my jelly shoes and tuxedo…

When last we checked in on the Camper Fixer Upper progress–we were left on a cliff hanger….the propane tank and the bumper.  Did the propane tank blow up? Did the bumper fall off causing everything to come crashing down?  These are the days of my life. (cue: swell of over the top orchestra music paired…

  In my last post I told you about and showed pics of the awesome laminate sheeting we got for the ceiling of our camper (you can read about it here). Today I’ll show you what we did with the floor and some “fun” we had discovering how the mechanics work in the camper.  Both…

Last week I shared with you about our newest fixer upper purchase–a very well used and loved pop up camper.  I never shy away from a project and this one is especially exciting to us. Not only is it going to be a fun, but the end result will mean we get to go camping…

A few weeks ago–after I had my designated minimum two cups of coffee–we decided to start shopping online for a pop up camper. We have been wanting one for a long time, but our very tight budget always kept it from being within our grasp.  Super Rockstar was perusing Craigslist and found one listed at…

“Do these 7 things and you will be much more productive!” “5 ways to immediately get more time in your life!”  Anyone else have titles like these pop out at you are your social media feeds? They all sound so great and I certainly appreciate help in becoming more organized. I love making a list…
