Day 21 of the Decluttering Challenge: Cabinets or Shelves

Hey fellow decluttering friends! Welcome back to the challenge. Today we are decluttering cabinets or shelves in any room of your choosing. Most of us have plenty of cabinets or shelves in our whole house that could use a thorough decluttering session. Choose whichever one you think will benefit you the most. I chose the shelves in my hallway linen closet, so I say closet shelves count too. The other day I worked on my linen closet, but I was not finished with the whole closet. I was eager to put more effort in to get all of those shelves […]

Day 20 of the Decluttering Challenge: Your Worst Kitchen Drawer

For day twenty, we are decluttering your absolute worst kitchen drawer. Hey, everybody! Welcome back to the Thirty Day Decluttering Challenge. Thank you for hanging in there with me. I know thirty days of decluttering feels like a huge amount. When you pick your kitchen drawer to work on today, I recommend picking the most chaotic drawer that you use the most. Or just pick the drawer you can benefit the most from decluttering. If you have a “catch-all” drawer, go after that one. I picked our silverware drawer because it is the biggest drawer in our kitchen, and it […]

Day 19 of the Decluttering Challenge: Books

If you are anything like me, ten minutes on day ten was not enough time to get you through decluttering all of the books on your bookshelves. And if you are not like me, you may have a shelf in your closet or anywhere in your home that you have not gone through in a while. When I saw that day nineteen is decluttering bookshelves, I thought, “Cool. Easy job.” My shelves are fairly easy because they are full of nothing but books. There are not piles of paper on the shelves. Paper clutter is my personal nemesis. It could […]

Day 18 of the Decluttering Challenge: Linen Closet

For day eighteen of the decluttering challenge, we are diving into our linen closet. Whether your closet actually has linens in it or not, somewhere in your house you probably have a hallway or basement closet like this. It catches lots of random things, and they can get messy. My mom’s hallway linen closet is so much neater than mine. I can picture it in my head, nicely stacked and filled with beach towels, towels, toilet paper, and blankets. My closet is not like that. Mine is stuffed with medicines, toiletries, sheets, and it all looks haphazard. It is hard […]

Day 17 of the Decluttering Challenge: Your Kitchen Pantry

For day seventeen of the 30 Day Decluttering Challenge, we are marching right in to our kitchen pantry. You might be like me, and your pantry may actually be just a kitchen cabinet where you keep your food. In my mind, this was going to be a big day for us. I know for a fact that most kitchen pantries could use a thorough decluttering day. But my mind could never know all the sleep deprivation and urgent care visits this week had in store for my household. Don’t worry. We are all okay. My son is on meds for […]
