My husband and boys are going hunting this weekend and my daughter and I are going declutter and organize my bedroom. I am going to work on decluttering other areas as well. This blog series has really been helpful.

That sounds like a fun weekend for all of you! I'm still plugging away at my list, too. I'm so glad it's been helpful!

It's funny how one thing leads to another! I really enjoy organizing and decluttering and once I take care of one thing, I'm on to the next one! Once I simplify everything I really realize how much stuff I don't need. 🙂
Joy Kincaid says
I know! I do that, too! I love the feeling of another box or bag to be donated or given to a friend. It's so freeing to realize how much we can let go of. 🙂

I am a declutter er. I cannot stand clutter. But with 4 boys and 2 girls all above elementary age it is hard to keep it that way. Lol.
I agree on the quote. A cluttered house leads to a cluttered mind.
I too am learning how to make better choices and simplify. One way that helps me is to think of someone else who could benefit from something I might have but that I don't use anymore. I do that quite often. And kids clothes… I was blessed when they were younger to get tons of clothes handed down. So I'm more than happy now to do the same. I'm not always the one on the receiving end anymore but it feels so good to give and have less clutter.
I'm really enjoying your series!:) Christina

Oh, I can really relate this this, Christina! I love to have everything clean and organized, but with 5 kids at home all day it's really hard!
I like your idea of thinking of someone else who could use things you're not using anymore. Kids' clothes has been a big one for me. For so many years I kept everything since I never knew when a new baby was on the way. Recently, I gave a bunch of baby things to a friend who was starting a baby house in Ecuador. It felt good to part with them for a good cause!
Thanks so much for the encouragement about the series! 🙂
