It's Finally Friday!

Why, oh why, do I find it so hard to clean out my closets and donate clothes. I seriously have so many clothes that I don't even wear, but I still hang on to them. I have heard the trick about turning hangers around to help you get rid of stuff you don't wear within six months... but it won't work. I even keep clothes that I don't fit into anymore, in hopes that one day they will fit. It's such a horrible habit. I really need to tackle this whole getting rid of clothes thing, and quickly. I'm starting to run out of room in my closet and dressers.

Goodwill, I hope you're ready for all these bags of clothes... cause it will be quite a few. Are there any tips that help you to throw out clothes? I could sure use some helpful hints. And it's not just clothes sadly. I just need to go through my whole house and get rid of things that I don't really use. The place I live in is up for sale, so eventually I'm going to have to move... I'd rather not have to pack and move stuff I don't need. Sadly though, that hasn't even motivated me much.

On a brighter note, my Mom and Sister are going to help make my goal of cooking more become a bit easier. My lovely sister Beth had the fantastic idea to set up a board on Pinterest where the three of us can share recipes. Seeing as how this is where we all mainly find our recipes, it seemed like a brilliant idea. When I went to start pinning to it, I realized I really need to get out of my comfort zone. I easily have about 200+ recipes.. and I could only think of 4 that I have tried off of Pinterest. So, now it will be new recipes from here on out. Send well wishes my way, I will need them!

If you have any awesome recipes on Pinterest that you would like to share with me.. PLEASE... by all means .. do so. This is my Pinterest link. Cleaning tips, DIY projects, recipes... I welcome it all! 




Tomorrow is the big day and I can't wait! If you read my last blog, you already know I'm headed to Philly. Even though it's only a day trip, I will try to take as many pictures as possible. Driving up at 6am in the rain won't be fun but it will all be worth it! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 


One of my favorite places on earth.

  1. I am not sure I know of any tips about getting rid of items because I tend to enjoy tossing things away. (dont ask, its weird) but i would look at the item and really think, do I need this? Would I really wear it if I could fit into it? Sometimes, getting new items is great, but at the same time, it hurts the piggy bank :(. I would just start with small sections of your room, closet, or your house and decide what should stay and what should be donated. Good luck and have a blast at the game!

  2. I have half a bag of clothes started for goodwill but a whole closet that still needs to be gone through. It's one of my plans for the weekend. And I am trying to cook more often too! Managed twice this week :)
