The #1 thing to declutter right NOW!

Earlier this week, I shared my holiday decorating secret that you can totally steal. Today, I want to talk more about holiday decorating, but with a different twist. Because RIGHT NOW is actually the best time of year to declutter those holiday decorations! Here's why: 🌟 You're pulling everything out of boxes & bins and going through it all right now anyways. The best part is, you can actually declutter WHILE you're pulling those decorations out and decorating your house. Truly, there's hardly any extra work required! So as you're pulling those boxes and bins of decorations out from storage and decorating your home, pay VERY close attention to the items you choose NOT to use. ✔️ Like the reindeer with the broken antler you keep meaning to fix. These are easy things you can get rid of right now. DON'T pack them away to sit in your home unused for another year. Get them out of your home NOW so that someone else can actually use and enjoy them! ❌ Toss or recycle anything that's broken or worn out. 🎅 As for the items that are still in good, usable condition, there are so many shelters, schools, churches, senior centers, community centers, and even neighbors and friends who actually WANT and NEED these things right now! You'll free up some valuable space in your home. AND next December when you open those boxes to decorate, you'll find they're full of the things you actually use and love. No more "why do I still have this?" moments! I hope this gives you a little inspiration and an easy way to get some clutter out of your home, Reader. P.S. Next week I'll be sharing my FREE holiday gift to you! Keep an eye on your inbox. You're going to love it! 😊

With all the talk about love and all things sentimental this month, I thought this reminder was very sweet and appropriate! "The best things in life are kept in the heart, not in a box in the back of a closet." So often, we try to capture special memories and feelings in the form of something physical. We buy a souvenir on vacation or a trinket to commemorate a special occasion. We tell ourselves that we *need* that item so we'll always remember that special time. But the sad truth is, those...
Do you like to decorate your home for the holidays, Reader? This time of year, we're bombarded with garland, bows, lights, ribbons, and ornaments galore. It can be fun to get in the spirit and make your home look festive. There's only one small problem with all this decor though, and we rarely think about it until the holidays are over... Where do we put it all after the holidays? Once the holidays are over, we're left with TONS of decorations taking up valuable storage space until we use...
When you're dealing with clutter, it's easy to forget where it even came from. How did we end up with all that clutter in our homes, anyways? You see, winning the clutter battle is only 50% about decluttering. And while decluttering is a big part of it, it's not the ONLY thing we need to focus on. The other 50% is about: ✔️less Amazon orders✔️less yard sales & thrift shopping✔️less trips to Target✔️less BOGO/free samples✔️less buy nothing groups✔️less impulse buys This doesn’t mean depriving...
