Sentimental Hoarding

Summer Fun, Scrapbooking and Selling Stuff

August 6, 2013 by SimplyBeingMum

It's gone a little quiet over here at my virtual home. The same can't be said for my IRL (in real life) home. School's out and there's some summer fun going on. As an advocate of scheduling the holidays (even PJ days get allocated!) there hasn't been opportunity for the Kids to get bored, or for me to blog much. But that's okay. Summer break from school ...

When Scrapbooking Goes Bad

July 16, 2013 by SimplyBeingMum

Over 4 years ago I started on a journey toward a family life simply done. You may have read my story. Feeling overwhelmed with life, commitments and stuff in general, I knew something had to change. A very physical demonstration of my state of mind, at that time, was a hoard I had been stockpiling for many years. As I started to make the transition into ...

Getting Caught Up In The Mechanics

May 14, 2013 by SimplyBeingMum

I've an admission. Remember the Spring Sale 2012? It started 8th May. Just over 12 months ago. My aim - to generate £600 through the sale of unwanted, unloved, unneeded things. I failed.

We all have our Achilles heel. I've posted about mine before, and it's paper. Paper that has the potential to be sentimental to be exact. This hoard weighs ...

Mid March Update As Promised/Threatened!

March 17, 2011 by SimplyBeingMum

For those of you with ultra long memories (or those who give a rats ass actually care what I am up to - haha!) I promised a Mid-March Update. This was initially an update on My Simple Exercise and Eating Plan to shift the Mum Tum. Well guess what? I have failed. I have a lovely long list of all the reasons I did not succeed in reducing my waistline, but ...

I Need Help With My Piles – Piles of Procrastination That Is!

February 7, 2011 by SimplyBeingMum

Help I'm struggling! I'm a struggling recovering sentimental hoarder with an aspiration to become a minimalist and beat the demons within that have over the years made me keep car park tickets, receipts and all types of worthless and pointless paper items. No New Years Resolutions for me, rather I decided to take the bull by the horns and address my ...
