We all have some type of clutter in our lives, but knowing where to start with clearing it out can be downright overwhelming.
Today I wanted to share a quick list of 150 things you can toss out right now, to help you jump start your decluttering journey and live a more organized life!
These are all things you can either throw away or donate, depending on what the item is. If you own things that you no longer use or love, let’s get them out of your home! [Read more…]
The excess clutter in our homes can be such a burden to carry.
The worst part is, we sometimes don’t even realize how much this excess is dragging us down until we finally allow ourselves to become free from it.
I’ve learned a lot over the past few years of simplifying my life and striving to live as clutter-free as possible.
And let me say…as a Mom of two with a 2-year-old and 2-month-old, it certainly hasn’t been easy trying to keep our home and lives simplified. As our children grow and require new clothes or items to accommodate their ever-evolving needs, it is definitely work to keep up with the constant flow of items coming into our home.
It’s all I can do sometimes to make sure our stuff isn’t swallowing us whole. But even though there is significant effort required in maintaining a (mostly) clutter-free home in this season of my life, I know for a fact that it’s worth it.
Living this way has improved our lives in more ways than I can count. [Read more…]
A few weeks ago I sat at my kitchen table that was piled high with paperwork I needed to sort through and took a good look around me. There were mounds of dirty dishes, crumbs that were days old, and toys strewn everywhere.
I couldn’t help but wonder what the hell had happened. [Read more…]
Unless you’re an extreme minimalist, I can guarantee that at some point in your life you have looked around your home and wondered when the heck you accumulated all of this crap.
Maybe you’ve even wondered where most of it came from or how it wound up hiding in the depths of your closets or lurking in the corners of every room.
We’ve all had our moments of feeling like we are drowning in clutter and become overwhelmed with not only how to tackle the mounds of crap we’ve accumulated, but to make sure they never creep their way back into our lives again. [Read more…]
If you are in the stage of life where you have babies or toddlers in your home, then you know firsthand just how difficult it can be to keep clutter at bay with all of the additional stuff that early parenthood has brought into your home.
I’m writing this post because I got tired of reading other blog posts and books about simplifying with kids, and realizing that none of it applied to me because we have a 19-month-old and plan to have at least one more baby. I am in what I would call the hoarding stage of parenting, where you’re constantly bringing new stuff into your home for your growing child, yet keeping everything they have already grown out of so that your next baby can use it too.
So Mamas, you are not alone if you feel like all of those other decluttering tips and tricks out there just plain old don’t apply to you in this current season of your life. [Read more…]
Do you feel like no matter how hard you try, you just can’t keep up with house work?
Housekeeping is a time consuming task that can be a big source of stress for most of us who are already juggling way too much. And while you might be raising your white flag and wanting to just embrace the crumbs and chaos that your home has become, there’s another option!
Instead of working harder and spending more time cleaning to get your home to a (somewhat) tidy state that you can actually relax and feel at peace in, it’s simply a matter of being a little more creative with how you are using your cleaning time. Recently, at work we hired a fantastic industrial cleaner who did some precision cleaning and it looked amazing! This inspired me to share my own cleaning hacks! [Read more…]
I have been on a complete purging rampage in our house lately.
Considering I’ve been in the process of hardcore decluttering our possessions for about a year now, I have been completely shocked by how much stuff still left that we never use.
It all just keeps getting shoved into closets or my office (doesn’t everyone have a signature room where they hide crap when guests come over?).
And I am sick of it. [Read more…]
Hi All! One of my best friends (both online and in real life) Alexandra from My Urban Family has an awesome guest post for us today that I know you will all find fascinating. As someone who has moments where I want to downsize from our current home to live more simply with kids, this post really struck home for me. Enjoy! XO Christina [Read more…]
