Easy Brilliant Way to Organize Your T-Shirt Drawer

If you have a messy drawer full of t-shirts, you have come to the right place. We are going to organize your t-shirt drawer in beautiful, tidy rows today. The way I do this keeps all your shirts visible, unwrinkled, and rotated. This way you do not always wear the same three t-shirts over and over again. Well, actually the unwrinkled part depends on how neatly you fold your clothes. Sometimes I get in a hurry and don’t do the best job. But if you slow down and do your fold/roll neatly, they should be nice and unwrinkled. We moved […]

Day 30 of the Decluttering Challenge: Medicines

Welcome to the very last day of the Thirty Day Decluttering Challenge! We made it to the end! And for the very last day, we are decluttering our medicine stash. This is ending just in time for us to all celebrate Christmas. I would say “relax and celebrate Christmas,” but who gets to do that until the whole thing is officially over? Christmas is joyous and beautiful and also completely exhausting and overwhelming. At least, that is how I feel about it. Maybe we are doing it wrong! It does feel like a special gift to myself that I have […]

Day 29 of the Decluttering Challenge: Bathroom

Welcome back to the Thirty Day Decluttering Challenge! For day twenty-nine, we are working on a bathroom. At our house, that means I’m decluttering the boys’ bathroom. When it comes to cleaning, a boys’ bathroom can be a hard job. However, when it comes to decluttering, it is the easiest job of all. Actually, this particular boys bathroom is used by only two brothers. They keep their toilet shockingly clean. I just want to say that because I am as surprised as anyone. For sixteen years I have cleaned toilets used by multiple male people, and it is a terrible […]

Day 28 of the Decluttering Challenge: Master Bathroom

For day twenty-eight of the decluttering challenge, we are going through our master bathrooms with a fine tooth comb. But we are only going to do that for ten minutes. Now if you have more time you want to devote to cleaning out your master bathroom, go for it. If not, I think you will be pleasantly surprised with how much ground you can cover in the bathroom in only ten minutes. Start with whatever space you want to improve the most because chances are you may spend the whole ten minutes in that one area. I chose the cabinet […]

Day 27 of the Decluttering Challenge: Toy Bins

For day twenty-seven of the decluttering challenge, we are picking out a toy bin or two to declutter. I bet every single person who reads this has some toy bins to clean out. It may be a box of toys if you are in my phase of life. This could also mean bins of electronics like I did yesterday. or a cabinet full of DVDs, or a box filled with photographs that need to be moved to photo albums. It could be any box, drawer, shelf, or cabinet in your house that needs to be decluttered! I find these micro […]

Day 26 of the Decluttering Challenge: Living Room Shelves

For day twenty-six of the decluttering challenge, we are digging into those living room shelves and storage areas. This could be shelves, cabinets, drawers, hidden cubbies, or cube boxes (like I have). Wherever you shove your living room junk, today is the day to see what kind of decluttering you can get done in these spaces. At our house, we keep two cube boxes on a shelf beside the t.v. In those boxes, we shove everything remotely electronic-related. Sometimes we put things that are not related at all, but we just want to get them out of the way. It’s […]

Day 25 of the Decluttering Challenge: Foyer

For day twenty-five of our Thirty Day Decluttering Challenge, we are cleaning out our foyer. Do you have a foyer in need of decluttering? It may be a closet or a set of hooks in your foyer that you use the most. Whatever area you tend to use as a launchpad, that is where we are going today. At our house we have this beautiful hall tree that is probably about a hundred years old. It was my great-grandparents’, and I have memories of seeing it in their foyer my entire childhood. When I was a kid, I thought it […]

Day 24 of the Decluttering Challenge: Outdoor Storage

For day twenty-four of the thirty day decluttering challenge, we are tackling those outdoor storage areas. Full disclosure, I do not like cleaning out a shed in the cold, so I picked out four storage bins that are air-tight and plastic (so I knew there were no critters aboard), and brought them inside to work on. You may not have a shed, but this could be any storage area. It could be a carport, storage room, attic, garage, or whatever you have. If you have anything other than outdoor equipment in your outdoor storage shed, then you are in my […]

Day 23 of the Decluttering Challenge: Kitchen Cabinets or Drawers

For day twenty-three of the decluttering challenge, we are working on our kitchen drawers or cabinets! You can choose whatever in your kitchen you think needs decluttering the most. Go to where your clutter is. It could be cabinets, drawers, counter tops, anything. I had to work on my counters again because my kitchen counters are this never ending battle at my house. I have told my family several times that the kitchen counter is like my brain. When they put things on the counter it is literally like they are dumping clutter straight onto my brain. Sometimes I even […]
