0 Creative Motivation to Clean up a room

We are creative creatures but let’s face it, being creative has gotten us into a lot of trouble! Beginning on a crafty project often spells disaster for us, before we know it… making dinner get’s put off, doing laundry is forgotten about, food shopping can wait, cleaning up the house is put on the back […]

0 Decorating, Minimalism and Living Authentically

While at The Home Depot the other day I was thinking about how decorating and minimalism seem to be an oxymoron. I had just gotten paint for my living room. I’ve lived at my new place for a year having done nothing to it, short of the getting a couch, tv, and end table. I moved from my […]

1 Let’s Get Personal

I am beginning a blog about the life changes that I have experienced in this past year. They are quite relevant to The Tidy Tutor’s battle cry. I sold my 4 bedroom home that had a front porch, a foyer, 3 bathrooms, an attic, a finished basement, and a HUGE 2 story barn in the […]

0 Moving, Minimalism & A New Mindset

When I sold my four bedroom house and moved into a small one bedroom apartment, I discovered quite a few things and I believe these lessons are Tidy Tutor Worthy to share with you. First off…… I tried to rid myself of everything I didn’t need. I still had quite a bit of stuff. Even […]

0 My identity in my things – Becoming Minimalist

This week for Throw it out Thursday, I want to talk to you about minimalism. When I first thought about minimalism, because one of my people brought it up to me and I discovered TheMinimalists.Com and other sites – and people that wrote about minimalism online.

0 Sentimental Storage – Becoming Minimalist

This week for motivation Monday, I want to talk to you about the things we have tucked away in places that we feel don’t really matter because we never go there. Like maybe our attic, a space under our bed, a spot in our closet that is out of the way, maybe on a high […]

3 Becoming Minimalist, Who am I?

This is the 3rd or 4th video I did talking about my front porch. Originally my front porch looked a certain way and I liked it. But I saw a picture of a porch that I loved and knew I could make my front porch look like that picture, but I thought I couldn’t because […]

0 Decorating as a Minimalist

I was sitting on my front porch that I changed quite drastically in decor. The reason was because I began dabbling in minimalism. I was trying to find out, what it was all about, and was it for me? The reason I decided to look into becoming minimalist was because after checking it out I […]

0 Our Stuff and Becoming Minimalist

Thinking with a different mindset… This week for TIOT I want to talk about what I noticed about my things when I started experimenting with minimalism. I was really suprised to see how my things held what was almost like a place of honor in my life. If you recall, I came to a decision […]

2 Exploring Minimalism

Recently I have been exploring minimalism. At first I thought it was so not necessary for me or my people. In our Tidy Tutor World we already de-junk. We realize that our number one obstacle is too much stuff and we have a plan to get rid of things systematically, to live life without clutter […]

0 Minimalism, Challenges, And The Beginning For me

I am sharing with you here, the first post I wrote regarding minimalism, it was in March. I actually am a bit surprised that I am checking out the minimalistic lifestyle to the degree as I am now because I was not very into it at first. In Tidy Tutor World we know that too […]

0 Minimalism, Who am I? Pursuit of Happiness

I recently went to see The Minimalists, founders of www.TheMinimalists.com, and it really had an impact on me. I have been searching for happy since 1980. I was 1 week from my 19th birthday when I got married. I was pregnant and Catholic. Back then, if you got pregnant, you got married, there was no […]
