Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

Winter, Spring, back and forth!

That’s the way it seems to be acting around our homestead in upper East Tennessee. I’ll take the teasers–it means warmer days are coming!

What are you doing in the waiting time?

I can’t speak much for myself on the garden front, but Greg worked hard to categorize and make a spreadsheet of our seed inventory. It’s way better than our usual random method of trying to remember what seeds we have.

In the spare moments, which seem so rare these days, I work on sorting, trying to make the camper work better for storage, and getting inspired.

One thing that is helping me to get inspired is watching occasional videos from www.clutterbug.me. Cass breaks down decluttering and organizing into fun steps. For some reason I feel like I can do it, eventually, when I watch her videos.

Here are a couple of that I like.

Why Your Home is Always Messy

Take the Clutterbug Quiz

I’m learning that the first step is always to get rid of excess stuff. Ugh. That’s the hardest for some reason. At least for us.

What’s up in your world?

We have seen some daffodils almost blooming. Some have actually taken pictures from our area that have fully bloomed, but so far I’ve not seen those.

Hope it’s going well!

Keep at it, no matter how small!

  1. I have the most success when I set myself a number. I go into a room I know has stuff that needs to go and say pick 5 and those are gone for that day. It doesn’t “solve” the problem but it begins to move the its too hard because its overwhelming feeling. I can do 5 I can’t do the whole room.

    Thanks for hosting.

  2. I don’t live in a camper, but even in an 850 sq ft home, things can pile up quickly. I constantly ask myself-“Do I need this?”. Many times, I find I can answer “no”.
