They look delicious! And so easy! Fall is finally here, and I'm ready to stock up the freezer with cookies!

I have my grandmother's butter cookie recipe, so delicious! We didn't have any damage at our house, but our rental is destroyed. Waiting to hear from the insurance company, taking a while because there are so many. I'm ok with it, others are in so much worse shape, losing homes. No one was in our rental, no one hurt! (A…

I baked cookies for my MIL's neighbors today. I put them in Tupperware that I'm getting rid of, so they can keep it. Yes, I saved some for mom, but not us. Her neighbors helped her with her generator during the hurricane, so this is thank you! Mom is 82, so their help was huge!

I have the same issue, but I pair the socks up now. I still have tons in my laundry basket from past years. I was keeping them to stuff toys I make for the grandkids. I need to toss them! Thanks for the reminder!

These darn hurricanes are messing with my decluttering! At least Michael will be a tropical storm tomorrow, when it gets here.

Nice job (and slippers)!! Its great to know it can happen without diet restrictions. I also eat whatever I feel like. It won't help me to lose the weight and binge on all the food I denied myself. I'm trying to be realistic. :)

This is my reality. I get witchy when I'm not happy with myself. I've been trying to moderate, successfully more often, my attitude and tone of voice.

Was this surgery planned? Hope all is well.

Anger is a big one for me. I was getting mad at DH when I first started this decluttering adventure, because he wasn't doing anything to help. Then NewLifestyle4me posted about just do it, and with a smile! I have tried since then to not sweat the petty things, in all areas. (I'm trying) And now DH is helping some.

That's wonderful! Not only for you, but for your kids as this hopefully becomes habit for them! What a great gift to give them!

Going shopping for buttons this afternoon, for a sweater I made for a friend's 1st grandbaby. After, I'm taking the 10 dog rugs to the dog shelter. Hopefully they are able to take donations, they were flooded by the hurricane. If they can't yet, I'll at least know when they will be able to.

I didn't know cinnamon did all that! What a great thing to know! The other spices just smell good to me, so I'll probably try them too, just to change it up. I seriously love this tip! I haven't gotten to my PJ's yet, but they are on the list! I'm kinda scared, it'll be disappointing if none of them fit.

[/quote] Wow, what a tremendous discovery...your daughter pointing out some things were too big is so wonderful, isn't it. Congrats Snoo, you're doing it! Cheering you on, bigtime! :smiley: Maintenance is good, it's work, but GOOD work. Here's a tip I recently discovered when vacuuming...if you sprinkle baking soda mixed…

Today is a house maintenance day. Laundry, floors, etc. My vacuum is clogging up, so I spent some time unclogging it. Then vacuumed again, then unclogged. :/

Have you tried keeping water beside your bed, and having a drink instead?

Just to clarify, if it doesn't fit I'm not keeping it. I bought 4 new tops this past spring in my old size. I didn't even realize that they were too big until my daughter pointed it out. I'm keeping the summer clothes that fit, if they don't fit next spring, YAY!

I'm keeping my summer clothes too, unless I really don't like them. I figure that I'll have to go through them when the season changes, so I'll get rid of them then, if necessary. And you're right, a loss is a loss! Congratulations are in order!

Christine, thanks for the great ideas for donations!

Well done! You continue to inspire! Thanks for sharing your successes! Nice to have reminders that slow and steady wins!

I figured out what drawer to put the spices in! Hubby cleaned out an area, light bulbs moved to a new home, and the spices are now in a kitchen drawer!

Thank you @NewLIFEstyle4ME , this verifies what I've been trying to do! I'll want to sit around all day, but I've been making myself do "just one thing". It really does get me going. Suddenly I've accomplished something!

As this group is in many different countries, check the tax laws where you live :)

Took something to our bathroom and found myself decluttering the shelves. Didn't spend a lot of time, just randomly looking at things, and throwing things out. Not finished, but I'll get back to it when I have time. :)

I hope your weekend is relaxing!

Thanks for the link @TerriRichardson112 , I will definitely be checking it out!

Share your adventures with us!

Have you tried dry cleaners? I've heard they are reasonable.

How lovely! Just think how beautiful new ones will be!

Pajamas! I haven't even tried them on, the ones that were too small but I love them, OMG! Thank you!

This is totally inspiring and way beyond YAY! Congratulations my friend! You have it going on. You keep showing us that we can, love it!
