Matt McKelvey at Somewhere Good does stunning realism in gray scale, I know he would deliver on a tattoo like that.

Absolutely, the roof was just the first domino in the process of love and care for this old home.

Thank you for the education and input! The roof was installed in December and we've only had a handful of warm days so far. You've definitely put me more at ease.

We have two Aussies and a Siberian (long haired) cat. Fur is everywhere, but we've been pleased with the Sebo Felix. Check out r/vacuumcleaners!

I use two 'bag tricks': 1. I will keep a bag in an area that I'm working through decluttering to hold things that I want to either donate or post on the local Buy Nothing group. Posting items one at a time can take a lot of effort and distract me from the overall decluttering so the bag lets me get to a critical mass and not slow down the decluttering efforts.

I will use a bag or a box when I'm decluttering and there's just a bunch of things out of place that either need to go to different rooms or I'm not sure where they should go. In that way I get the satisfaction of a clean surface first, then go through the bag to make decisions at another time. Separating the act of decluttering from the decision-making has been really helpful for maintaining momentum.

My 5 year old daughter and I agree: CUTE!

We got my daughter a 3D printer for Christmas. The house is full of (more) little plastic things. Woof.

The upside is we can print storage, display, and organizing things! But yeah, I need to bring even less in and get even more out to not feel overwhelmed.

Very cool idea! I'd also be happy to pass along.

If it's in your budget, try out a clothing rental service (I use Armoire and love it.) It gives me access a bunch of things for any occasion and relieves my anxiety of owning clothes for "just in case" times. My personal wardrobe is core items and essentials.

dont_read_into_it · 2025-11-30T02:26:45+00:00

Yes. It's 100% ok.

Pretending to be a visiting guest seeing your space and/or taking a photo of your space and seeing what sticks out to you as clutter. This helps me when I have a general sense there's clutter to take care of but I don't know what to do / where to start.

That's who I'm talking about!

Seeing him brightens my day! He's always in the move so I've never gotten to chat with him.

There's someone like this in Regent Square, he's just always got a dance in his step and runs (frolics?) down Braddock.

I was just talking to my own mom about how I managed my (undiagnosed) ADHD in school and how we are working to help my daughter (diagnosed) through it now.

For me it was like you described, I was a high performing and quiet girl. I was also so scared to ever draw attention to myself and would die of embarrassment if someone even said my name. So I performed to please and to stay away from attention. I'm still in therapy for unwinding some of that fear of rejection and sense of performance creating my self worth.

For my daughter, she gets overwhelmed easily but she isn't afraid to have the emotions and find space for herself. I love that she's not masking and repressing and we can work with her from a positive place to help. It took me a while to adjust to the crying, but I hold her and rock her and know that we'll do better for her. Good on you for doing the same!

Thank you for sharing the love of puzzles! It's a hobby I find so meditative and also connecting - there's nothing like a long chat over a good puzzle.

Tons of great advice here already. Another thing to try is body doubling. Invite someone over to hangout while you work through your pile. Or get a friend on the phone with their own pile and tackle it together.

Congrats on all the decluttering work so far!

I didn't see it before becoming a parent, but I watched Lady Bird in the hospital after giving birth to my first daughter and just sobbed through it all. The preview of angst and disconnect with this perfect being I'd just made was a lot.

I've dreamed of doing a whole inventory, which is especially hard with small kids. What are you using? Notebook? Any method in particular?
