Decluttering
TO BE CULLED THIS WEEK: TOYS

I have decided to jump on the decluttering bandwagon. I've started reading about some folks decluttering 2008 items in 2008. I'm a little late to join in on that, but I am going to rid my home of ten items per week between now and the end of the year. I'll report back next week on what goes this week. I have also asked my dear husband to reduce his computer museum collection by half. He's working on that right now. This should clear things out of the house some and make room for new items that enter the house for Christmas and new baby.


Menu (I'm flexible with days of the week)
Sunday -- stir fry
Monday -- beef fillets with wild rice and brocolli
Tuesday -- carmelized onion pizza w/chicken, borrowing idea from Courtney at Frugal Foods
Wednesday -- Italian pork chops with potatoes and salad
Thursday -- poppy seed chicken
Friday -- on your own / leftovers
Saturday --
party at friends' home

I'm interested in the beef and rice recipe.

We should be doing more recipe swaps, I'm always looking for new things to make for dinner.

I love Reese's pumpkins. Maybe a little too much.

Good luck with the de-cluttering. I'm a minimalist, so we really do de-clutter about 3 or 4 times a year (I try to do seasonally). It's easier to keep up with that way.

Ok, your coupon skills are amazing! I love Herbal Essences. Do you get your coupons from the Sunday paper?

    SO MANY JOYS, like all good titles, has multiple meanings. My life is filled with joy. Motherhood is filled with joy. And my family is filled with Joyces! My grandmothers, born Joyce B. and Joyce Fay, began the naming tradition. My mother, Velda Joyce, carried it on and passed it on to me, Amanda Joyce. Our fourth generation of Joyces includes my daughter Caroline Joyce and my nieces Megan Joyce and Sophia Joyce.


    The joy of the Lord is my strength!
