Wow, there'...Hi, I'm a newbie to your blog. Wow, there's a lot to devour, but devour I will as your blog is very giving. I definitely need to declutter - must make my house and my life lighter. Congratulations on all the babies, that really is a baby shower!<br />Though not American, I've been to Wrigley Park, and I did in fact have the t shirt but I bought too optimistically small so it sadly ended up in a charity shop bag. So I know that the place is electric on any "normal day" so there must have been a cosmic storm on that very special day. I'm pleased for you all!thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-33015050551793944562016-11-10T19:23:17.890-06:002016-11-10T19:23:17.890-06:00Jane, I think it's just awesome that you are w...Jane, I think it's just awesome that you are writing for the newspaper. You do have a gift for wonderful writing.<br /><br />Decluttering....girl we just went from a big house to a tiny rent house. All this has done is point out to us that we have too much stuff! I need to be like a real blogger and revamp everything we own instead of buying anything else. Maybe.... :)<br /><br />Congrats on the expected grandbaby.

I started decluttering awhile back, but have kinda quit until our daughter gets moved out and into the other house we're hoping to have ready for her soon. Then I'll have more time and room to work with here. Lots more, lol! She's got a lot of stuff here since she was married before and brought a lot of it back home. We were happy about the Cubs win, what an exciting last game! Whew!

I can't believe they pulled it off...hello, chill bumps. I know from first hand experience that decluttering your house is a fulfilling journey. I started decluttering last year, myself and while I can't say every drawer, nook and cranny is perfect it is so much better than it used to be AND my heart is a little bit lighter too. <br /><br />Have the best day, <br />CoCoCoCohttp://thecrownedgoat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-14516471228083580752016-11-07T09:05:23.330-06:002016-11-07T09:05:23.330-06:00Jane your life is so full right now!

And congratulations on the win for the Cubs! I think everyone (and their brother) watched this game and although we were so sorry for the other team, we were so rooting for the Cubs. I thought it was particularly poignant when I heard that women didn't even have the right to vote the last time the Cubs won. I read the 'jeans' article and I had to laugh.....of course it was written by a lovely young thing....how our outlook changes over the years. I do agree that there are some women who take their attempts to look younger a little bit far, but to give up our jeans? I don't think so. I am interested to hear how you manage the clutter. I have a whole room devoted to clutter, too. It really does bring the spirits down to look at it. I suppose we just have to be disciplined and not bring any more home. That's the hard part. Love seeing you with your sweet girl and seeing your son and pretty wife. Isn't it wonderful to see them thriving and starting their own families? I'll be looking for your articles. Good to know the hubs wasn't responsible for the dumpster dive.

So happy for all of you. And even more happy for all the babies that are coming, that is incredible! Purging will make you feel so good. I no longer buy decor, and I tell my kids to just give me small items as gifts. I feel so light and free now. Hang in there.

Raining babies, congratulations! Cubs winning, congratulations! Stop wearing jeans? Never! I am forever trying to declutter and, as much as I talk clutter, I really feel like my things are each in their place (but the Mr. would definitely disagree). My way of decluttering is just a little different, I guess. I keep things purchased for resale - foster - just because I love them so much. Truth is, they may never see display in my home, so eventually I let them go. It's that clutter that gives me the most anxiety, simply because I want to keep but still don't display it. That's where lazy comes in, I suppose. Have a great weekend, Jane!Rita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-36395893258107449782016-11-05T09:11:57.644-05:002016-11-05T09:11:57.644-05:00Sitting here Jane with a cozy jumper on, leggings ...Sitting here Jane with a cozy jumper on, leggings and boots!
