One of the dictionary definitions for the word ‘Cornucopia’ describes it as “an abundant supply of good things of a specified kind.” In this review, you will find a compiled list of several helpful books on how to conquer clutter and/or organize your home and your life. All have been reviewed by the contributors here onReviewThisReviews.com.
A Collection of Books on Clutter (and what to do about it)
Clut`ter To fill with scattered or disordered things that restrict movement or efficiency. A collection of things lying about in an untidy mass.
For simple ways to take back control of your stuff, author Stephanie Culp’s book “How to Conquer Clutter” will give you some advice on the subject in an informative, but also humorous, way.
Paper Clutter
MY clutter, in general, is mostly under control. I like things orderly, and almost everything in my domain stays pretty much under control. EXCEPT, when it comes to paper. For whatever reason, I do not deal well with paper ~ sorting, filing or disposing! I begin with good intentions, then become overwhelmed and just turn around and go do something else!
Thus, Barbara Hemphill’s “Taming the Paper Tiger” has been a lifesaver for me, and perhaps it will for you.
Between screens with lovely scenes and furniture with storage places, your clutter can quickly be tucked away if unexpected company arrives, or if you simply have gotten tired of ‘looking’ at the clutter' which you have not had time to put away.
Personal Thoughts on ‘Tidying Up’
This Japanese ‘art of decluttering and organizing’ found in the book“The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” written by Marie Kondo, does more than simply aid you in putting your house (and your life) in some semblance of order. It basically puts your past in order, revealing that you are now surrounded only by the things you love.
Summary
Since this is the Spring-Cleaning time of year, having just celebrated the first day of Spring, this list of helpful de-clutter books seems appropriate. There also just happens to be a National Cleaning Week beginning the 4th Sunday of March each year.
*This reviewed group of How-To books for learning how to declutter your home and life, is brought to you by Wednesday Elf.

Many times I have heard people say they did not like carrot cake.
They tried a layered carrot cake from a grocery store or in a coffee shop
that, while beautifully decorated, tasted dry and yucky. Let me
encourage all of you to try again, but make the cake yourself. This
recipe will change your opinion of carrot cake and totally rock your world
of desserts. You will never think of carrot cake the same way
again.
For many years, I have been making this carrot cake recipe. Everyone
loves it. Even I, who normally hate nuts in anything, love this cake
and the nuts don't bother me one bit. Of course, I chop them up very
fine with my
nut chopper. Therefore, we get the nut flavor without having to contend with
chomping or choking on larger nuts.
As for the "dry cake" issue, this single layer carrot cake is quite moist
and delicious. Plus, it has a glaze icing that soaks into the cake, as
well as a cream cheese frosting. We like to heat each individual slice
in the microwave for 20 seconds before serving so the cream cheese icing
melts slightly. If it has been refrigerated for more than a day, the
microwave heating takes about 5 seconds longer.
Moist Carrot Cake Recipe
This cake recipe takes longer to make than most cake recipes that I bake,
but it is worth it! The cake is baked, of course, but the glaze icing
is cooked on the stove top. The cream cheese frosting is spread on top
of the cake after it is refrigerated for 2 hours or more. So, it isn't
quick, but as I said, it is well worth the extra time and attention.
One big tip I like to share, when using a hand mixer, I set my mixing bowl in my kitchen sink to eliminate the splatter across my counter tops. It definitely makes for a faster clean-up.
1 cup shredded coconut (I use Angel Flake shredded coconut)
1 cup finely chopped pecan pieces
2 cups grated carrots (4-6 carrots needed)
_____
Ingredients for the Cake syrup (made separately - see recipe
below) ½ cup buttermilk 1½ sticks Unsalted butter (6
ounces) 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ingredients for the Cream cheese frosting (made separately - see
recipe below) 8 oz cream cheese 1½ sticks Unsalted
butter 2 cups confectioners sugar
Directions
Set out 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter to heat to room temperature even though it won't be needed until you make the syrup recipe
Generously grease a 9x13-inch cake pan
Preheat oven to 325° (Convection Bake 300°)
Grate Carrots & Chop pecans
Combine cake flour, baking soda, sugar, salt and cinnamon in a
large mixing bowl & stir together
In a separate bowl & using a mixer, mix canola oil, buttermilk,
eggs, vanilla extract, crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, chopped pecans
and grated carrots
Combine the wet ingredients with the flour mixture, mixing
well
Pour batter into oiled pan
Bake approximately 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the
center comes out clean
_________
Start the syrup recipe (see below) 10 minutes BEFORE cake is out of oven so it will be ready when the cake is removed from the oven
Cake Syrup Recipe
1 cup sugar
½ cup buttermilk
1½ sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Using a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine ingredients. Cook,
stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. – Takes about 5 min. in my
*Magnalite pan
While the cake is still hot, poke holes all over the top with a large
fork
Pour the cake syrup over the top, allowing cake to soak up the
syrup. Use a spoon if needed to redistribute the syrup that gathers at the sides
Refrigerate cake until completely cool (minimum of 2 hrs)
Set out 1½ sticks unsalted butter & Cream Cheese to heat to
room temperature for frosting recipe below
Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe
1½ sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups confectioners sugar
Combine ingredients - Using an electric mixer on medium speed, mix until
smooth and free of lumps.
Then frost the cooled cake
In the directions above, I mentioned using my *Magnalite pan to cook the
syrup. Wagnerware Sidney Magnalite (produced in the 1930's and only available through secondary markets like eBay or antique stores) is my
preferred pan for cooking candy & glazes. It is heavy and has
superior heat conductivity. Current day Magnalite is not the same as
the Wagnerware Magnalite of the past that was made in Sidney, Ohio.
While I highly recommend Wagnerware Magnalite, any heavy stainless steel
saucepan should work fine to make this simple glaze.

This is the first of a seven part series of my various stores on Zazzle.
Zazzle is a print on demand company. They print, ship, and handle the orders and any returns. Artists and designers open stores on Zazzle and upload their designs to various products. My first store that I'll be giving an overview of is CherylsArt.
CherylsArt is my general overall store and my first store on Zazzle. You'll find a lot of different design types and product types there.
The current main categories are:
+ Affirmations
My most popular item in my Affirmations section is the Proverbs 25:11 verse featuring an apple of gold on a background of silver, on magnets. There are a lot of different affirmations, on various products, to choose from in this store.
You will find quite a few affirmations here on a variety of products. Sometimes we all can use a reminder to feel good and or to refocus.
+ Apparel and Fashion Accessories
The apparel part includes leggings, tank tops, and tshirts. The accessories part include belt buckles, belts, hair ties, hats, head bands, nail art, necklaces, pin on buttons, scarves, and watches.
Although I designed this apple watch back in 2013; it didn't start selling until Christmas of 2025! I think it finally became the right time for it; people were ready for a bit of humor I believe.
Art and Wall Decor includes canvas prints, drawings on faux wrapped canvas, drawings on wrapped canvas, posters, wall decals, wall panels, and wall tapestry. The drawings categories have their own categories so that the ones that can be painted in can easily be found. They make fun activity options.
+ Baby
The Baby category includes, adoption, announce baby, baby bags, baby bibs, baby blankets, baby shirts, baby shower, binders for photos, burp cloths, clocks for the nursery, dry erase boards, and pillows for nursery.
These cloud themed dry erase boards are a great way to share messages about the baby. They come in a choice of pink and blue. This is especially great for new and busy parents who need a way to communicate what's up.
The Celebration category is about all things that can be celebrated. This category includes birthday, candle parties, graduation, neighbor get together, party hats, retirement, ribbon, rubber stamps, stickers, tissue paper, and wrapping paper. This category pretty much covers what isn't a birthday or wedding themed.
+ Elections
The Elections category includes products for my preferred candidates, as well as informational items on helping all votes to count.
+ Holidays
The Holidays category includes Christmas in July, Christmas/Winter (which also includes other winter holidays), Easter, Father's Day, Halloween, Independence Day, Mother's Day, New Years, Saint Patrick's Day, Thanksgiving, and Valentine's Day.
+ Home, Pets, Sewing, and Car
The Home, Pets, Sewing, and Car category includes sub-categories for each of the mentioned categories.
The car category includes bumper stickers, car mats, license plates and frames. The home category includes accessories for the home, bathroom, bedroom, calendars, clocks, doormats, dry erase boards, hand sanitizer, kitchen and dining, light switch covers, moving, ornaments - that aren't holiday, and tiles. The Pets category includes dog beds, pet bowls, and pet tags. Sewing and Crafts includes fabric. There are sub-categories under fabric to make browsing easier.
A popular item in my Home category, is this Moving postcard, in the Moving sub-category. The truck painting proved to be a very popular choice for awhile. As with any item in CherylsArt, if the item includes artwork, the artwork is created by me. With the truck image, I saw a truck that I thought was awesome, and got permission from the driver to include my artwork of it on products. He said it was fine as long as I included his name in my description. Here is a shout out to Dan Hyde. p.s. The color choices are mine.
You will not normally find any products in this category. Usually I choose the category right after designing the new item.
+ Office and School
The Office and School category has a lot of sub-categories. They range from alphabet rulers to yard signs, and pretty much anything you can think off, in between.
+ Sports, Toys, and Games
The Sports, Toys, and Games category includes games, guitar picks, sports, and toys.
No, these aren't throw pillows. They are actually game bags for cornhole games. So you will find these in the Sports, Toys, and Games Category, under the sub-category of Games.
The Stationery category includes pretty much anything stationery related, that isn't birthday, graduation, or wedding related. Items include address labels, cards, envelopes, letterhead, notepads, photo cards, postcards, rubber stamps, stationery, and stickers.
+ Travel
The Travel category includes luggage, luggage handle wraps, luggage tags, travel mugs and tumblers.
+ Weddings and Anniversary
The Weddings and Anniversary category includes a long list going from Anniversary, to all types of items wedding related. I don't know how it works for customers searching in individual stores on Zazzle, for wedding, but for me when I search for a wedding item in my store, I need to include the item type to get any search results. I guess it may be because there are so many wedding items.
These address labels are in the Wedding category, as I designed them for with a couple in mind, though anyone else can use them. There are also matching wedding invitations, etc. for this design, in Weddings. If you're not sure about which category to begin your search, go towards the top of the page, below the header, and do a Search this store search; i.e. fern address labels.
And there you have it. I have changed my store layout a number of times over the years. At one time I based it on the designs, but that got to be way to many. Then I sorted the categories by product type only. That was too much of a mix match. So I currently decided on general themes, and then did further breakdowns into sub-categories. You will find more sub-categories in my CherylsArt store, once you explore on any category that has a lot of items in it. If you know the item type and theme that you are looking for, you can also fill in the Search this Store box that is located below my store header.
Hope this helps for when you're shopping at CherylsArt on Zazzle.

I suffer from back pain some times, ever since my 30's and one of the
things that helps me is heat on my back. This was of course approved by a doctor amongst other
treatments.
I am not a Healthcare professional and if you suffer from any sort of
pain it is advised to get it checked out by a healthcare professional
first.
However, if Heat is medically approved, it is one of the easiest and
comforting ways to ease aches, stiffness, and tension.
Over the years I’ve tried several different types of heat pads, and I like
two in particular for different reasons. One is adhesive heat pads and the
other is a reusable electric heat pad. They each have their own advantages
and disadvantages to consider.
Stick On Heat Pads
Stick on heat pads are single use adhesive patches that warm up gradually
once exposed to air. The ones I buy can be useful for 8, 12 or even 24
hours. They vary in size but if I have back pain I try to get the larger
sizes. I only ever wear them in the daytime, never at night as personally I
would be concerned about safety and comfort.
They are slim and lightweight so they can be worn over underwear and under
normal clothing. You need to stick them on to a piece of clothing, never on to bare skin,
the adhesive is quite strong.
I find they don't restrict me, although I am aware of them and they do give
a nice gentle heat. They are very good for the days I need to be out and
about shopping or gardening or errands for example, but still need a heat
source on my back for comfort.
Advantages Of Stick On Heat Pads
The warmth is gentle and lasts for however many hours. It says on the
packet how long you can expect it to last which is generally 8,12 or 24
hours and they are simple to use. You simply peel way the strips on the
back and stick on to clothing, never bare skin. Within a minute or two you
can feel the warmth.
They’re discreet and easy to wear over underwear and under normal
clothing and ideal for days when I need to be active. I often wear one when I am
gardening as it helps keep the muscles warm and is lovely on cold
days!
Another use for them is if you have to be out and about on a freezing
cold day they can be a helpful to keep you a little warmer.
I imagine if you need to be out watching sports in cold weather they
could also give you enough added warmth to be a bit more
comfortable.
I keep a pack in the car, just in case we break down and need extra heat.
My husband has serious health conditions that mean he gets cold very
quickly, which can be unsafe for him, so warm blankets and adhesive heat
pads in the car make him feel safer. We of course checked with his Doctor
first that this was suitable for him.
Disadvantages
They are single use, which isn't great for the environment and if you
need to use daily or often it can become very expensive to keep buying
them.
The heat they give is not a deep heat but is a comforting warmth, so if
you need a deeper, more intense heat they might not be enough.
If you are unlucky enough to have pain on a hot day, having a heat pad on
your back might be more uncomfortable in hot weather.
You need to ensure they are stuck on firmly, this is not usually an issue
as the adhesive is usually quite strong, but i prefer to have a belt and
braces approach and like to wear them over underwear and under jeans or
trousers rather than just over underwear, just in case they drop off
causing an embarrassing situation!
Electric Heat Pads
Electric heat pads are usually a large or decent sized heat pad which plug
into the wall via a long lead.
They usually allow you to adjust the time they are on for and the intensity
of heat for very mild to quite hot.
You can't move around with these electric heat pads and so are better to
use when resting, working at a computer or doing desk paperwork, sitting or
lying down or watching TV. Below is a close up of the heat pads on my
machine.
I always use mine when I am wearing clothing, never on bare skin for safety
and comfort reasons.
Never use an electric heat pad when sleeping for safety reasons.
Advantages Of Electric Heat Pads
You buy one and they can be used many times so if you use heat a
lot they can be cost effective.
I like the ease of setting different temperatures and times and that it
is so adaptable to what i need at any given time or day. Mine uses a
simple Heat plus and Heat minus and Time Plus and Time Minus, so it is
very simple to operate.
They heat up quickly, which is especially good when my back is stiff
especially after gardening.
They can be set to considerably warmer than adhesive heat pads, which can
be useful if you need a higher heat.
On my model once you set the time, it will cut out after that time period
which is a useful safety feature and a feature to look for if you are
buying one.
They are usually significantly larger than the adhesive heat pads and so
are very good for the back, hips, shoulders or legs, warming up a much
bigger area which is often very helpful.
Disadvantages
You are tethered to where there is a plug point and cannot move around.
So you need to use only when resting. I don't generally find this a
problem especially if I need some heat to help my achy muscles after
doing garden work.
There is usually a much bigger financial cost up front, though cost per
use goes down if you use it a lot.
Check where the connections are that link the pad to the lead as on
some models they are in uncomfortable positions.
It must cool down completely before storing away which can take some
time and be a bit awkward if you need to keep it stored away when not
using.
You will need to make sure you have a place to store it and use it away
from children and pets.
Alerts and Warnings
With electric heat pads it is strongly advised to keep away from children
and pets. Clearly electricity is involved and higher heat levels are
possible.
Also obviously keep electric heat pads away from water or any
liquids.
Store electric heat pads flat and allow to cool down completely
before putting away.
Routinely check wires and connections and the general condition of the
electric heat pad for safety purposes.
Store both adhesive heat pads and electric heat pads out of reach of
children and pets. Even with the stick on heat pads they do get warm and its advisable to keep
away from children and pets as because they use a strong adhesion if they
were to get stuck on to a delicate body or face area or pet fur for example
it could be unpleasant and unsafe. So store them out of reach of children and pets.
How I Use The Different Types Of Heat Pads
I like using both types so if I have any back pain I tend to use the
adhesive heat pads on busy days out of the home when I need to do shopping,
errands, walk in the freezing cold, gardening, appointments and days out and
to keep in the car.
I use the electric heat pad when I can sit down and relax so if i read or
watch TV or chatting, or even when doing paperwork, computer work or life
admin. I have the electric heat pad on my back right now.
Both have their advantages and disadvantages but I feel if you are
medically safe to use heat and it is medically advised for you and your
condition and it helps you, to have both is a useful choice.

I haven't worn a swimsuit for years but as I look forward to this summer season and a new season of my life, in which I am participating in physical therapy, I needed swimwear. My hope was to find something modest, age appropriate, and flattering. Something that I could feel confident wearing. I found this in the Blouson Tankini with Swim Shorts. If you have difficulty finding suits that fit correctly this may be a great choice for you also.
Whether it is for relaxation at the beach, exercise in the pool, or rehabilitation in the whirlpool, I needed a suit and dreaded making the purchase. Fortunately, this Blouson Tankini 2 piece suit fits great, gives me confidence with coverage, and looks beautiful. As a mature plus-sized woman it is not easy to find swimwear that makes me feel confident and pretty.
Three Modest and Flattering Women's Swimsuit Styles
Women's Blouson Tankini with Swim Shorts. This 2 piece blouson tankini fits me so well. It has a built-in shelf-bra for support with removable padding. Due to the 2 layers of the top (suit and shelf bra) I feel fully covered whether or not I use the pads. Because it is not a V-neck, I did not have the difficulty of finding the correct size for the bottom and significantly too large for the top. The top also has a band along the bottom. That band keeps the top from moving, or floating, around. The shorts provide much more coverage than the panty size bottoms of many swimsuit bottoms.
One Piece Tummy Control Suit with Ruched Sides. In the past, I had a one piece suit with tummy control and ruching. I loved that suit. It fit me correctly, top and bottom and I felt that the ruching was flattering. When I first began the suit search recently, I had planned on purchasing this type of suit.
Flowy Skirt Tankini. In the past I loved flowing skirt, two piece suits. But I never liked how it would float around, stick to my tummy at inopportune times, and often the bust was too large for my chest. The V-neck style never seemed to quite fit me. But on other women, the Flowy Skirt Tankini 2 piece is a gorgeous choice.
My co-workers encouraged me to shop for my swimsuit on Amazon. They assure me that they purchase clothes via Amazon and there is no risk with making returns if the item does not fit correctly. They assured me that if I needed to return the suit, I merely begin that process in my Amazon account then drop off the item at a local store that accepts Amazon returns. In our case, Kohl's is one of those locations. Easy-peasy my friends assured me.
Even when I was much younger, I hated to try on swimsuits at the store. I ended up having to go to a variety of locations and go through the process of waiting for fitting rooms, undressing, trying the suit on, then getting dressed again. Next location and next drawn out process. With the assurance that returns are n-hassle and with being able to avoid public fitting rooms, I felt confident to make the order. However, I still cannot personally vouche for the return process since I love my suit so much that I don't need to return it.
Additional Note
One of my co-workers is a water baby. In addition to Amazon's easy return policy and process, she also told me about rash guard water clothing. She swears by the comfort and coverage. She recommends the long sleeve shirts as well as the longer, capri-length shorts. I fully trust her opinion with water related clothing and will be ordering the capri-length swim pants in the near future.

I wrote these lyrics about a father-daughter dance on her wedding day, January 14th, 2026.
A Father-Daughter Lyric Story I Needed to Tell
This father-daughter wedding dance song came from a place that felt both deeply personal and quietly universal. I didn't just want to write words that sounded beautiful—I wanted to tell a story that would feel like a lifetime unfolding in just a few minutes.
When I sat down to write, I kept coming back to one idea: what if we could hear both of them? Not just the father standing there on one of the most emotional days of his life, but the daughter too—her memories, her voice, her heart woven right alongside his.
So I built the lyric from both perspectives. His love. Her reflection. His letting go… and yet, not letting go at all.
This song is available on various streaming platforms, including Spotify. Here it is on Spotify.
From Dad's First Moment to His Daughter's Wedding Day
There's a line early on that still sits with me:
"I remember when I found out you were you."
That feeling… it says everything. The moment a father realizes his life has changed forever, even before he holds her in his arms.
From there, the words travel through time. A newborn wrapped in a blanket. Sleepless nights. Growing pains. Teenage years. Quiet pride. Unspoken worries. And all the small, ordinary moments that somehow become everything when you look back on them.
I wanted it to feel like memory itself—how it doesn't move in straight lines, but in feelings.
And then suddenly… we're here.
A wedding day.
Grown-Up Shoes and a Wedding Dress - The Name I Gave This Lyric
The title came to me almost like a whisper: Grown-up Shoes and a Wedding Dress.
Because that's what this moment is, isn't it?
A father looking at his little girl, and at the same time, seeing the woman she's become.
She's standing there in grown-up shoes… ready to step into her own life.
And yet, to him, she will always be the little girl he first held in his arms.
The Words That Say So Much - Verse 2
There's a part in the lyric—verse two—that, to me, holds the heart of everything I was trying to say. It's the father speaking, but it's also something I think so many fathers feel and don't always put into words:
They say I’m giving you away today
That’s not true
You are forever my little girl
Even while dancing in these grown-up shoes
I hold you with my arms
But it’s my heart that carries you
For the rest of our lives and even beyond
I am your dad
And that’s our unbreakable bond
That idea… that love doesn't get handed off or replaced—it simply grows. It stretches to make room for new love, new beginnings.
Why This One Is Personal to Me
These words were shaped by the love I shared with my own father.
He didn't dance—at least, not until much later in his life. We didn't dance at my wedding. And he's no longer here. But somehow, writing this brought me closer to him again. It gave me a way to imagine what that moment might have felt like, had we shared it.
There's something about writing like this that reaches beyond time. It lets you revisit, re-feel, and even re-create moments you wish you could have had.
I know if Dad were here today, we would share that dance.
A Dance That Holds a Lifetime
In the end, that's what I wanted this father-daughter wedding dance song to be.
Not just a dance.
But a lifetime… held in a few minutes.
A father remembering.
A daughter reflecting.
Both of them standing in the same moment, carrying everything that came before it.
And maybe, for anyone listening, it becomes their story too.
