Tuesday Update: My Goals.
August 14, 2012
Starting today, every Tuesday I’ll post an update on how I’m doing with my goals. I reserve the right to add new goals and talk about them. And skip a Tuesday if I’m traveling. I promise to be brutally honest. I need accountability! Here are the goals I’ve come up with so far: Make a…

School Shopping.
August 17, 2012
I’m very anxious about school. My oldest starts first grade in a couple of weeks, and I need to make changes to his IEP. I also need to ask for some accommodations for his sensory processing issues. This stresses me out and I’m avoiding it as long as possible. And distracting myself by online window shopping….

Tuesday Update: Wishlist Shopping.
August 21, 2012
One of my goals is to work on a wishlist, and stick to it when shopping. I’ve discovered that one of the best parts of this non-impulse shopping is that I’m taking the time to choose the right pieces to add to my wardrobe. I’m keeping track of styles and trends, and making a mental…

Lighter or Heavier?
August 26, 2012
I recently came across a very intricate method of figuring out whether you should buy something that catches your eye. There’s a formula and some calculations, and…oh wait, no, not intricate. It’s not difficult or time-consuming and takes only seconds. It’s something I’ve always been aware of, but never acted on. No, not intricate. Intrinsic….

Tuesday Update: Closet Purge.
August 28, 2012
One of my goals is to go through my closet and donate, donate, donate! Over the past few weeks, I’ve been very strict with what I put into the donation pile. I’ve even hemmed and hawed a bit, taking things back out of the pile…and putting them back in. There was a reason I put…

Falling for Fall.
August 29, 2012
Why do my new Fall wardrobe additions make me giddy? Why do I smile when I see them, and waste time building outfits in my head? I might have my spending somewhat under control, but I’m still tethered to possessions. My closet does not contain the secret to happiness. Today is a beautiful day. The…

Tuesday Update: Churning and Slipping.
September 4, 2012
I keep trying on the items I bought for my Fall wardrobe, and finally decided I need to return most of them. This decision opened the floodgates: I could now justify a big shopping trip. Ah, Nordstrom. How I love that store! It was such a nice shopping trip, too. I was alone and had…

Tuesday Update…on Saturday: Fall 2012.
September 15, 2012
Sorry I skipped the Tuesday Update this week! It was the first time that both my kids were in school. It was glorious! Sure, I had visions of using that alone time for blogging and sipping coffee or catching up on Project Runway. But, I’m still on Fall 2012. So I spent the time returning…

Tuesday Update: The Kids’ Closet.
September 18, 2012
One of my goals is to get a handle on my kids’ clothing. They’ve always had too much — it runs in the family! Given how messy they can be, it’s good to have some extra clothes, but not a week’s worth. I refreshed their wardrobes last week when I found some really great deals…
