I’ve decided to switch things up and focus on acquiring as many new things to cram into my house as possible.

It’ll be swell! Mo more cleaning, and loads of new toys! It’s spring now, that means there will be lots of garage sales where I can pick up stuff. No point in wasting money, after all. The cheaper I buy my stuff, the more I can get!

In addition to chronicling every new piece of junk I bring into my house, I’m also going to share exciting photos of the bunnies from my yard.

Look! Here he is, eating my new grass shoots! Isn’t he just adorable?

I hope you like him, there should be plenty more photos of him on this blog in the coming weeks! I just love little fluffy bunnies, don’t you?

Happy April 1st, everyone!

Psst – check out the first photo I used – it’s not real either! It’s a staged photo by a person who says he’s actually very organized.

Today’s Post Delayed

The article is published in the Deseret News, in Salt Lake City, and is called Curing Clutter: Staying organized year-round is key to spring cleaning.

My quotes are on page 2 of the article.
Here’s a snippet:

Caitlin Thompson, founder of www.cluttercubed.com, said she started a blog to share advice from someone dealing with clutter and to help her get motivated.

“If I’m feeling overwhelmed by my clutter and want to give up, I remember that my readers are expecting me to accomplish something and that usually provides the extra push I need,” Thompson said. “My readers leave encouraging comments when I post progress and that really helps motivate me to keep going.”

It feels pretty neat to have my name and words published in a newspaper, especially for something like this that I’ve been working hard on. I also really appreciate how they linked the URL in the online version, I’ve received a number of hits from this paper and a couple other Utah-based papers that picked it up.

You may know The Everyday Minimalist from her other blogs (Fabulously Broke in the City, and Style on a String), she now turns her attention and blogging skills to minimalism.

Fairly new on the scene, but Miss Minimalist is off to a great start, and will probably be very interesting to watching this blot grow throughout 2010.
