Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy. Published Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! How are you doing today? How was your weekend?
Our weekend was good! We spent most of Saturday working in the yard. We spread 4-yards of beauty bark around the place and it always gives things a facelift for spring. At about $20 a load (haul-your-own) it’s a bargain for the difference it can make! Grateful for my hardworking husband. We’ve made quite the team the last few months as we work to get the house ready to sell.
On Sunday my sweet girl has a preschool event – so we had a special morning celebrating that. Then we came home and PAINTED! All our hallways have had years of my kid’s sweet, sticky fingers run along them. They needed a wash and a new coat of paint before we list our house for sale later this week. This time the color I picked was PERFECT (this never happens). I usually end up picking something that looks horrible once we get it on the wall – but I’m really happy with how this turned out. I stayed up until 11 p.m. last night painting a bathroom vanity that the previous owners painted silver. I hated it all these years and I’m finally fixing it. 🙂
I did do some downsizing this week – although I didn’t share an update this weekend. I’m guessing y’all are tired of hearing the same ole, same ole every week. I sold our barbecue, my Silhouette cameo starter kit and two bookshelves! I also more loads to the local thrift shop last week.

Tired of hearing about your downsizing? Hardly! I look forward to it! I am so impressed by it these last couple months. You have inspired and motivated me to do a little downsizing too… donating, selling on CL, etc. Thank you for all that you do! I’d love that post on selling and garage sales, especially tips for those of us who do not use/want Facebook accounts. Thanks again! I appreciate your hard work!
Brittany says
I agree with Kristin! Your downsizing posts have been so inspiring to me! I’ve really appreciated seeing how much you’ve sold and how much you sold each thing for. It has been really valuable to hear about the freedom you’ve felt when letting things go. I’m especially looking forward to your upcoming garage sale post. Thank you for sharing and a big high five for all you’ve sold so far!
Kristin says
A quick note to let you know how much I enjoy and appreciate your downsizing updates — everything from the purging of material items to the preparing your house and garden for listing. Thanks for your honest perspective!
When oh when will your big plans post-the sale of your house be revealed?
Heather Clarke says
Kristin – THANK YOU for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. 🙂
Glad to know the downsizing posts have been interesting for you! I really need to pencil out sometime this week to write a post on how to sell in FB groups and how to have a garage sale. I want my downsizing posts to be helpful for folks, so that’s my goal for this week. We’ll see.
So the big plans. . . .yes, those. I’m still trying to figure out the right way and time to announce our next move. I’m guessing I’ll be letting the cat out of the bag within the next month. I feel like I’ve been kinda stringing people along, but it’s not intentional – just gotta get some things worked out first. Stay tuned. 🙂
Thanks again for your comment!
