What Would Debbie Do?

(Thank you, SNL)

As I am wading through boxes this week, I've been feeling wildly overwhelmed.  Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I've been feeling pretty inadequate as of late.  With everything in such chaos, I tend to shut down and do nothing at all.  I've been struggling even getting a digestible to-do list going.  Sad, huh?

Never fear, I'll pony up soon and set things straight.  I'll channel my mother's old mantra...

"A place for everything and everything in it's place."

Or as William Morris said,

"Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."

I've been really inspired by this post from The Complete Guide to Imperfect Homemaking.  She's running a great series right now, that I might glean a few highlights from later this month.

I'm also debating on the value of a Homemaking Binder.  You remember how I mentioned that organization might not be my best asset??  Well, believe it.

How do you cope with feeling overwhelmed?  Does organizing a cabinet make you feel better or worse?  Do tell :)

Movin' on up! Or over.

Box 'em up and ship 'em out!

We are moving to a new rental tomorrow and I am feeling a combo of...
  • Excited - More room to grow - woohoo!
  • Anxious - I hope it all goes as planned and nothing gets broken or lost.
  • Sentimental - We had a baby here in this bungalow by the bay.  I won't forget it.
  • Trepidatious - Will we like our new neighborhood?
In other news, posts might be sparse over the next week as we get our internet and lives up and running.

For now, I will leave you with some link love from around the web.  Enjoy and have a lovely Fall weekend!
