We have a ton of unused stuff – furniture, books, clothing, toys – cluttering up this house. My first thought was to have a yard sale, which I’ve done once before. Once. It was literally one of the most wretched experiences of my life. So maybe I’ll just get the kids to help me box [...]

I have a secret (though not well-kept) passion for interior design. I often toy with the idea of getting a degree and going into the field.
