Hey there Reader, A while back an item sold in my Etsy shop and when I went to my inventory storage to get it ... I couldn't find it π I had to send the email of shame and give the money back. Ever happen to you? Or maybe the issue is piles and piles of totes and boxes in your garage that lean threateningly over you while you're just trying to find your beach chairs. One wrong move and you'll get buried. Here's the thing about inventory piles. They're not just physical clutter. They're money sitting there doing nothing. And probably even worse, they're emotional overwhelm. Every time you see that pile, your brain does this weird thing. It goes "Oh yeah, I should list that" and then you get squirrel brain and instead go on another thrifting trip. It's like having 47 browser tabs open in your brain at all times. Every so often, I spend exactly one week attacking my inventory pile. I use a simple system I'm about to share with you. The result? My storage room actually looks professional. I can find what I need. And my stress levels drop by about 80%. I wrote up the exact steps I use in a new blog post, and it works even if you're drowning in stuff. β>>> Click here to check out the blog postβ Fair warning: this method requires you to be ruthless about sorting and pricing items. If you're emotionally attached to every piece you've bought, this might hurt a little. But trust me, it's worth it.

We have a little old dog who will be 14 in about 2 months. For the past two days in a row, he has somehow managed to take a swim in our pool. I haven't actually seen it happen either time . . .he just shows up soaking wet at the back door with a trail of water behind him, leading straight to the pool steps. He's a great little dog, but he's never been a swimmer. So the first time it happened, I assumed he fell in. He likes to wander around the edge and sniff in the mulch. But the second time...
