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 […]

Day 22 of the Decluttering Challenge: Dining Room

Today we are decluttering our dining rooms, just in time for Christmas. We are rolling right along in this thirty day decluttering challenge. I cannot believe it is already day twenty-two. My dining room is a busy place because we only have one dining area. In fact, I do not remember our dining room ever not being a busy place. Even when we had two dining areas, we still relied heavily on our “dining room” for doing projects, playing games, building Lego sets, eating, and doing homework. Focus on your dining room surfaces first, and then if you have time […]

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 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 […]

Day 16 of the Decluttering Challenge: Your Home Office

For day sixteen, we are decluttering our home office. I don’t mean our desks again. I mean the other areas of our office, like the file cabinet, printer shelf, or any area where we keep office supplies. If this were not such a hectic day at our house, I could have done so much more. The 30 Day Decluttering list assigns today fifteen minutes of decluttering time. I had to settle for ten minutes of decluttering and five minutes of filing. The Christmas season is starting to truly crank up, and I am about already whooped. Are any of you […]

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 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 […]
