Written by Jeannett Gibson of Life Rearranged. This post is part of a series where we are working our way through Tsh’s ebook, One Bite at a Time.  I get to write here and share how I felt about a task, if it was helpful, or even…if it was a complete bust for me and [...]

My files, organized: before and after photos

book - after

It’s the end of March, which means it’s also the end of Project Simplify. Seriously, how did that happen? Fastest March ever, it seems.

It was quite a week around here. I’ll spare the gory details and just say I got sick. So as you can imagine, I didn’t quite get as much accomplished on the kitchen as I had planned. But that’s life, right? And Project Simplify is nothing if not about regular people and everyday households, so [...]
