What to do when you live in a shoe......

So it has been a while since I posted....I have been stuck...stuck with how to cope with all the stuff.... I am working full time, for a bit, thanks Mom for helping out....So I haven't had too much time to delve into the "basement"....Time is ticking... I am slowly moving favorite things of mine into the storage locker I rented, which is a few miles away...I have moved a few items and am amazed at the great things I uncovered, and have had for years, but have not seen...It is a reminder of the years spent collecting and picking up wonderful things while out and about while doing my work and time frequenting the plethora of antique malls that used to exist here, that are no longer.... I will post some photos ( when I get the time and remember to photo my treasures! ). I should really be documenting what I uncover as I go...hmm..good idea...then I can keep a record of what I pack away..that would be way too organized, but a good idea.... Soon, I will not remember what I have packed away there too!

Multi-Tasking 101

I am armed with boxes, packing paper, packing tape, and labels....Time to start working on the stash...

I am sure I am not alone, but it is really hard to get anything done while looking after kids, well one at the moment for myself....maybe I am not as focused as others...how do other moms do it? I mean, accomplish other other things at the same time...I can barely keep up with the dishes between meals, and laundry between dressing and keeping the little guy busy....

I always read with great admiration, about those "women", the working moms we all know who I am talking about...the great multi-taskers featured in Country Living Magazine etc... those accomplished mompreneurs, who manage to create and run their own businesses from home or from a perfectly perfect storefront....

I have to figure this out....

I finally joined the rest of the world!

Well I did it, I signed up on facebook...I am the last holdout? Not only did I sign up for Facebook, but I opened a Twitter account and joined Pinterest! Phew...I need a break...what was that password again?

Introducing Myself....

My name is Nicole...I am a self professed collector....well, my husband would often refer to me as being a hoarder....but, after delving into my stash in the basement with him, admittedly, he does see that it isn't "garbage". I promise you, there are no empty pizza boxes or cat remains to be found....

I have been buying since about the age of 20, now going on 41, the time has come to begin the big purge....Our tiny home is overrun with my "collections"....we have another baby on the way, and since I work better or more productively under pressure, I think the fire under my butt has been lit, to start the letting go process. You see, my husband "needs a space" of his own, I call it a place to hide, but he is right, and I am grateful he has put up with all my "collections" all this time....

So, it begins, where to start????
