Decluttering Kitchen Cabinets Even When You Don’t Feel Like it: Day 11 Decluttering Challenge

I’m calling day eleven the “even when you don’t feel like decluttering” day, because my heart was definitely not in it today. Going through the kitchen cabinets is not fun at all to me. Do you have areas that you just dread more than other areas? Kitchen cabinets are that place for me. I always find so much food that no one wants. It seems wrong to trash food though, you know? Yet, you cannot donate opened food. I usually end up texting friends to see if anyone wants it. I found a friend to take my granola bars, and […]

Day 10 of the 30 Day Decluttering Challenge: Bookshelves

For day ten, we are working on decluttering bookshelves for ten minutes. I found this to be a fairly easy little job. I did create a mess with all the books I pulled out, though. You will see that in the video. To avoid making a giant pile of books in the floor like I did, you might want to have a second box or bag to put books you need your family members to go through. My youngest son still wanted to keep many of the books I hoped we could get rid of. This is how I solved […]

Decluttering the Playroom: Day 9 of the Decluttering Challenge

For day nine, we are decluttering the playroom, or whatever room where your family plays. My kids are old enough that this job wasn’t too hard this time. A few years ago, this was a much more daunting task. The difficulty level of this task completely depends on where you and your family are at in life. With a few little children in the house, this could be a booger. I am not addressing reorganizing toys and cleaning out old toys much in this post. However, I did talk about the best way I know how to organize and clean […]

Day 8 of the Decluttering Challenge: Master Bedroom

Hey y’all! For day eight of our decluttering plan, we are setting a timer and working on our master bedroom. Pick which area of your bedroom needs the most work and go for it. I have several hot spots in that room, but my dresser, which my husband also uses as his desk, is what bothers me the most. As I said before, I am not a perfectly tidy person coming to you with tips from the end of a journey. I am in the middle of this process too, and I have plenty to work on. During this challenge, […]

Day 7 of the Decluttering Challenge: Clean Out One Storage Bin for 15 Minutes

Welcome back to the 30 Day Decluttering Challenge! We made it to week two!! For day seven we are heading straight into a storage container to get the most bang out of our time. I was talking to someone about day seven, and she said she does not really use storage bins. Instead she uses shoe boxes. That just goes to show that she’s doing better than me. My stuff would never fit in a shoe box. Ha! I have these gigantic Rubbermaid and Sterlite bins. I know most people don’t get excited about decluttering your storage bins, so I’m […]

Day 6 of the Decluttering Challenge: Taking Out the Donations

Day six of the decluttering challenge is scheduled on a Saturday, so I am keeping today’s post short. Saturdays are for fun. Chances are you may be doing your challenge on different days, and I want to reiterate that I think it’s just awesome that you are doing it, no matter what day it is. Task for Day 6: Take your giveaway items out to the trunk of your car. Now that our stuff is in our trunk, it is ready to deliver to a charity of our choosing. You could also declutter your living room if just taking out […]

Day 5 of the Decluttering Challenge: Kitchen Counter Tops

For day five, we are decluttering our kitchen counter tops. If you are anything like me, that is a daily battle. Unfortunately, I am not winning that battle. Today we can set aside ten to fifteen minutes to focus just on that. If you already have thoroughly cleaned off counter tops, this is a great time to work on your table or your kitchen drawers, wherever your kitchen clutter is. At our house, the kitchen counters and the coffee table are, as Flylady calls them, our “hotspots.” I try to constantly clean them off, but it feels like the impossible […]

Decluttering Challenge Day 4: A Kid’s Closet

Welcome to day four of the 30 Day Decluttering Challenge! Today we are decluttering a kid’s closet. Y’all, for day four of the decluttering challenge, I had a bad case of the blahs and that is what I look like in this video. Man, I looked rough. Sorry, guys. Maybe tomorrow my makeup lady will come back. (Of course, I am my make-up lady.) The good news is my son and I felt mega accomplished after thinning so many little shirts out of his closet. We went through every single piece of clothing hanging in his closet. We sent a […]

Day 3 of the Decluttering Challenge: 15 Minutes in Your Most Cluttered Room

Day three of the Decluttering Challenge is extra helpful if you have any specific areas causing you stress. Today you get to zero in on any room you would like and spend your decluttering time right where you need it most. After day two of working on my storage room, I realized how out of control my storage room has become. Now I am dying to get in there and turn that room into an organized space. I am also hoping to significantly cut back on the amount of things I am storing altogether. Who needs that much storage? It’s […]

Day Two of the 30 Day Decluttering Challenge: Storage Room

For day two of the 30 day decluttering challenge, we are in my absolute favorite room to declutter: the storage room! If you don’t have a storage room, focus on whatever room you shove the things you don’t know what to do with or wherever you have boxes of storage. During our past twenty plus years as a military family, we moved houses every one to three years without fail. Many of those homes did not have a proper storage room. We have used garages, attics, guest rooms, carports, and sheds for storage over the years. Here is the video […]
