Spring Cleaning Delegation

I have yet to complete my spring cleaning. Although I thought one month would be dedicated to it, life has just gotten busy and taken away from the opportunity to do so. In fact, I have only managed to get through three rooms. Even then, I didn’t completely finish the last one. So I have been thinking of some ways to make spring cleaning easier. Not in the sense that there is less work but in making it easier to accomplish. One of the things that I came to realize is I am trying to take on a house with … Continue reading →

Spring Cleaning Papers

Last weekend when I was spring cleaning my living room, I used my brand new upholstery cleaner. It just made economical sense to invest in my own, so that I always have it handy. When I took it out of the box, I read the instructions and set those aside. Later on I would put those instructions in a binder. That got me thinking about the importance of spring cleaning papers. Paper piles and clutter can be a real problem in many homes. Finding a way to eliminate the piles and clutter can not only make your home more functional … Continue reading →

My Spring Cleaning the Master Closet

The closets in your home can hide many interesting things. This week, I am taking the time to go through all of the closets in our home to de-clutter and organize these spaces. And does anyone need a nice suede skirt or a collection of scrunchies from the 80s? The first closet I attacked on my self-appointed mission was own own master closet. This closet is not only the keep of the clothes that belong to my husband and the clothes that belong to myself, but it is also the keeper of a number of other things, such as the … Continue reading →

Compulsive Hoarding-Part 3

In the third part of Compulsive Hoarding, I would like to discuss the strategies we employed in our attempt to positively retrain Daniel in his obsessive behaviors beyond the kitchen and his food issues. Medications are available for the treatment of obsessive behavior. Because the symptoms are usually included in the categories of Attachment Disorder and Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder, some physicians prescribe meds (used to treat these specific disorders) to assist in minimizing the symptoms. Paul and I declined this resource of treatment. We felt in the beginning, and still maintain the logic, Daniel’s compulsive behavior was due to his circumstances … Continue reading →
