Jaycee I have 7 siblings, so yeah parties were very rare occasions growing up. Now that we're all older the local ones still get together and our Dad lives in the same general area so he comes. I totally pawn off leftover food!

I don't know what it is about these shows, but it always makes me want to clean, and get rid of stuff lol. Of course I know that Hoarding is no joking matter, but the show definitely gets me to cleaning.

Jaycee It's so sad to me when they're elderly and have family that hasn't bothered to step in and help them.

I'm a recovering hoarder. I hoard two things, craft supplies and papers. Papers like old medical EOBs, kiddo's report cards, legal documents. I don't hoard newspapers or trash. The craft supplies are the worst. But the really...

A lot of you are coffee or tea drinkers, and maybe some of you are both. How many of you just take your coffee black and your tea plain? Or, do you load these beverages down with a lot of add ins? I’m neither a coffee nor tea...

Jaycee I purged SO many shoes it was ridiculous. I seriously donated about 100. I still have too many left, but I'm trying to actually wear what I have so I know what I won't miss.

Jaycee I do think being able to donate rather than trash makes it easier for me. I actually donate through a local high school's band when they do their donation drive fundraiser. Until then its all stored at my husband's recording studio.

I wanted to share a bit about ODD. It is, IMO, one of the most misunderstood illnesses. ODD affects the part of the brain responsible for impulse control and mood/aggression. Not all kids with ODD will be aggressive or violent....

Jaycee Very true. I usually recommend therapy for the family and parents of a kid with ODD, not just the kid. Not just to learn how to deal with it but to learn how to accept things the way they are and re-train your brain. A child who doesn't grow out of ODD is...

Jaycee They became trendy for sure, but they already existed. They were just only carried around during sports or a hike, something like that. Not just for out running errands or going to a friend's house.

Jaycee There are times when a block/delete is needed for whatever reason. If you're chosing to just cut off everyone who doesn't believe in what you believe in is how we keep dividing the country.
