New addition — email subscriptions

In case anyone’s interested, I’ve decided to add a “subscribe by email” option for this blog.  My daughter has that option on her blog and it seems to work well, so I thought I’d offer it as an optional way to keep in touch with my blog readers.
Just a simple online step, then an email verification, [...]

Psychology and housekeeping?

Personal insight can come from the most unlikely places.  Who would’ve thought I’d have a personal ”Ah HA!” moment while online looking for information about decluttering.
I was browsing through some articles and websites that said there was a link between chronic disorganization and depression.  Hm.  Interesting.  After my husband’s illness brought about various changes in our lives, [...]
