Post-Christmas decluttering is a real struggle for me. The holidays are over, and it feels like a huge let down. Plus, we have a bunch of new toys and other gifts that need homes. Last week, every room in my house felt cluttered. I was overwhelmed, and needed to take action. Taking decluttering before and after photos always motivates me. So I grabbed my camera and got busy. Post-Christmas Decluttering: Living Room See that huge box? Every year we travel to see family over Christmas. We take all of our gifts with us, and travel with them in this huge box. When it is time to come home, we can easily put all our new things … [Read more...]
My Personal Reflections on 10 Years of Blogging
As of today, I have been blogging for a full decade. 10 years of blogging! Happy Blogging Anniversary to me and you. On December 18, 2009, I published my very first blog post. It was a riveting post titled Welcome to Simply Rebekah. The post contained 134 words, no images, and an embarrassing number of typos. I introduced my blog to the online world, and then finished up the post with... Simply put, this blog is simply me. Simply Rebekah. As cringe worthy as that closing line may be, it really does summarize my journey here on Simply Rebekah. My very first blog design at SimplyRebekah.wordpress.com & the last post … [Read more...]
Neighbor Christmas Gifts: Orange You Glad It’s Christmas?
Handing out neighbor Christmas gifts time is one of my favorite family traditions. During the warmer months, we see our neighbors quite a bit. Knocking on our neighbors doors in December, gives us an opportunity to catch up during a season when we don't see each other as often due to the colder weather. We tend to focus on affordable and unique gifts. I have a weak spot for puns. Over the years we have given several pun themed gifts. Our neighbor Christmas gifts usually don't cost very much, but the value of the gift isn't the point. The act of giving the gift is about making connections with our neighbors and letting them know that … [Read more...]

50% off FabFitFun Box – Frugal Gift Idea!
I just ordered my first FabFitFun box. When I heard that they were offering new customers the Fall 2019 box for 50% off, I jumped on the chance to buy one. I have never seen the price this low. You can usually find codes for $10 off, but never for 50% off. I have wanted one for a long time, but the $50 price per box always seemed a little too self-indulgent. I am thrilled to be able to try this service for just $25. UPDATE: The Fall 2019 box has sold out, but you can order the 2020 Editor’s box and get 40% off with code YES40.
