Get Unstuck On Your Decluttering Journey!
It was several years ago, and I was miserable.

The Surprising Outcome of my No Credit Month in 2019
A few days before November, I don’t recall what prompted it exactly, but I spoke to my hubby asking him to be on board with a “No Shopping November” challenge. Considering a few recent purchases (but not knowing we’d need a lot of work on our vehicle), he agreed that would be a good idea. …
