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 […]

30 Day Decluttering Challenge for Beginners

I put together this fun 30 day decluttering challenge for beginners (and clutter bugs) to motivate myself to get my house decluttered. And I thought it would be fun if we did this together. If you happen to have your share of clutter and want to try this out too, I hope you will join me in the challenge. I found a ton of these thirty day decluttering deals already available on the world wide web. Some of them even have free printables, as this one does. However, I looked at a few that are already out there, and I […]

My Honest Review of the 2023 Flylady 101 Class

Last week I finished the very last day of the Flylady 101 Class on YouTube, and I want to tell you all about it. As I mentioned before, when I first started the class, Flylady 101 is completely free. I must confess, I climbed into a serious Flylady warp zone in the past month, as I went all in on Flylady. I took the class, read the book, downloaded the app, and I even signed up for the email list! It is very rare for me to go whole hog like this, but after moving from a larger house to […]

How to Declutter Your Out of Control Desk in the Time it Takes to Microwave Your Lunch

This week, I decluttered my dumpster fire of a desk in the time it took me to microwave my lunch, and I had a good time doing it. I used a handy decluttering hack from Flylady. And no, I did not shove it all in a drawer. I properly decluttered the desk in about ten minutes, and I am going to show you how I did it. First, I want to point out that apparently a messy desk is a sign of genius. However, as genius as we may be, sometimes we need to clean it up just so we […]

Check Out this Free Homemaking Class on YouTube

I am taking a free homemaking class on YouTube, and it is so strangely fun. That’s why I wanted to share this. I wanted y’all to get to have fun with it too. Even though I have been keeping house for over twenty-one years, I never feel like I do a good job. You know? There’s always so much clutter. For example, two days ago, I cleaned off our coffee table, and now I’m sitting here looking at it all cluttered up again. We cannot be trusted with surfaces where you can place things at our house. Two days ago […]
