Hello Friend, Have you ever thought about buying out a whole rummage sale or a large lot an an auction, or an entire garage full of stuff? There is a television show called Storage Wars and in that show, they buy abandoned storage units that the owners were not able to pay for. My family has done this as a side business. The history on one unit we bought was that a woman died in a nursing home and did not have family alive or ever marry. She was a crafter and had a moving company pack up her...

Hello Friend, It's time for me to share my recent decluttering "win". I finally had enough money for the perfect container to motivate me! The Problem After seven years of living here (I always do "severe" decluttering before a house move as I tell myself, "less to move, less to move.") and keeping items out of some abandoned storage units (see post below), plus my own "sale finds" - I had somehow acquired twenty 18 gallon storage totes worth of fabric and yarn! Even if my Etsy shop was 4...

Hello Friend, We did a little two night get away around Taylors Falls, St. Croix Falls, and Hinckley, Minnesota over the weekend after dropping four kids off with relatives. It was to celebrate our 30 year wedding anniversary (which will actually happen in September - but that is a busy time for our family). Here is a photo of my husband, Mike, and I at a beer garden in Taylors Falls with our root beers (and cups to keep out insects). Over the weekend, we reminisced on all that we have been...

Hello Friend, We are having a wild month over at the Marohl household.

One adult kid bought a house, one is moving to another state, and one is heading out of the country for a month. I feel like I need to take a deep breath after...

Hello Friend, I have to tell you about a pest control company I have used and really like. Two years ago, I used them for ants in my yard. It worked so well that last year - when they called to see if I needed their service, I said no. This summer, I saw ants in my yard. I called them to come back! Yes, I sometimes take good companies for granted and I am not proud of it. I want you to know about them in case you have any pests at your house. They do so much more than ants, but I can't...
