We are spending a few days in the bathrooms of our homes this week. The bathroom is usually one of the busiest and smallest room in the house, so it is imperative that we declutter and organize that space. We live in a ranch style house with only one bathroom for eight people. If I don’t keep the bathroom free of clutter, I will find myself going crazy. We will soon be building an additional bathroom, but for now I…
Would you believe that our Declutter Challenge is more than halfway over?! Thank you all so much for joining me this month as we have been going through our houses. I don’t know about you, but I feel so good knowing that the little work I am doing each day is leading up to a big difference in the feel and look of my home. I feel a little calmer and more relaxed too, don’t you? Today we are looking…
Happy Sunday friends! This is one of my favorite days of the week. Unless it’s wrestling season, our Sundays are usually spent going to church and hanging out with family. Today is no different and I love that. I truly believe everyone should have one day a week where they unplug and enjoy the present. Today’s task won’t really interfere with that too much. We are going through our digital photos! It should be fun, since who doesn’t love looking…
Good morning! I don’t know about you all but we are having a gorgeous weekend here, so I am anxious to get my decluttering done so I can go enjoy! This is the first weekend we have relatively free in awhile and I am going to take advantage of it. But first…our task for today….We are decluttering our utility closets. This may look different for everyone. My family has a closet in the kitchen where we hold our cleaning supplies…
After my dreaded junk drawer task yesterday, I am glad to have one today that is nice and easy! Today we are decluttering our bakeware. I just love baking – and I am raising my kids to love it too! My oldest child is quite the baker and he is always asking if he can make a cake or cookies. We have gluten allergies in our family (among others) so baking and cooking are always done from scratch. We love…
I have to admit…this is one I’ve been dreading…decluttering our junk drawer. It’s just one of those things…I avoid it, and yet I keep adding things to it!

I did it, I really did…and so can you. I am quite pleased with how my drawer turned out…
If you are anything like me, you may have a couple different email addresses – work email, personal email, freebie/junk email etc. It is SO easy to let all the emails just accumulate until…you have thousands to go through and it overwhelms you just to think about it. Well, today I am giving you a few tips to go through the email clutter and free up some time and space. Day 12: Emails Assignment: If you don’t have Gmail already,…
Don’t you just love the start of a new week? I think a new week brings with it so many possibilities and opportunities.

Welcome back! How does your car look today??? Today’s challenge is an important one- to declutter our medicine cabinet. This one will be quick, but don’t skip it! Where do you keep your medicine? Most people store it in the bathroom, but that is one of the worst places to store medication. Heat and moisture can destroy pills, vitamins and other products, so try to store your medicine somewhere cool and dry. Perhaps you have a shelf in the pantry, or…
