About Me:

I'm a math nerd bringing my creative side back! Mom of three, blogger, loves eating, Salted Caramel Mochas, spray paint, and bonfires.

Favorite area of home improvement:

Decorating and creating with what you have, and with a strict budget. While it's not always the best, it inspires creativity and out-of-the-box thinking.

40 BAGS IN 40 DAYS Decluttering Challenge 2013

Every year I challenge myself to tackle and declutter my whole house for forty days.

I take it slow and a day/spot at a time, and try to get a bag a day.

I would love to have you join me! I've set up free calendars printables to plan and chart progress, a closed facebook group for support, plus more on Instagram and on the blog.
