20th Gold Star: Desk
I did my last gold star in August of 2021. Never mind. I’m back to the gold stars with the Home Edit Workbook, and my desk is looking pretty good. At least, it is clean enough to work at without […]
19th Gold Star: The Linen Cupboard
My linen cupboard doesn’t look like a Martha Stewart linen cupboard, but it is reasonably tidy and filled with nice things. I take pleasure in thoughtfully choosing a tea towel, many of them souvenirs of travels with my family. I […]
17th and 18th Gold Stars: Bathroom Counter and Cabinet
These areas were already tidy. I tweaked them slightly and gave myself gold stars even though I didn’t deserve stars except for keeping them nice for a year or two. The linen closet is the next assignment, and I started […]
