So, we haven't posted in awhile, but that doesn't mean we haven't been busy. We currently have two renters- Eric and Betsy. Eric has lived with us for just over three years and Betsy moved in this summer and also babysits Mirabel a couple days each week. Eric is getting married just before Christmas and his (soon-to-be) wife, Candace, is moving in after the wedding. So we've been busy with all sorts of preparations.
Eric and Betsy are swapping bedrooms this weekend, but that doesn't really impact us. We've been focused on clearing out extra stuff from the basement to create some storage space for Eric and Candace and tidying up the living space down there. They are going to have a "living room" downstairs, the bigger bedroom upstairs (not ours- but we have a 10x12 and 10x10, and they get the 10x12 now.) We're also clearing out a bit more space for their pantry stuff. And they are going to get the house one night a week, but that is just a schedule change.
Well, I'm off to clean, sort, and organize in the basement. We're getting a whole new pile of sell/giveaway/recycle stuff (we sold most of what we placed on Craigslist before...so now it's off to round two!)

We love Craigslist, except for the occasional person who doesn't show up to get their item... :) But it has helped us get rid of many unused things that were languishing in the basement! There is also "freecycle.org" for anything you just want to get rid of for free. (You probably already know about that one!)
ReplyDeleteYep, I know about freecycle. I have never had quite as good of success there as craigslist. Our church has a "Flow of Blessing" email list where you can post needs or things to giveaway that we're able to use for our free stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou're an amazing woman, Keturah! You've got so much energy and it sounds like you manage your time well. Wow! You should hire yourself out to others to help them get organized. :-) You can start with the Halvorsen's!!
