Although I embarked on decluttering missions last year, I feel like more can be done. And not just with decluttering, but with simplifying as a whole.
For example, mail gets tossed on tables, forgotten about, and then all of a sudden we are late paying a bill.
Weekday mornings are spent scrambling to make my daughter’s lunches.
We were gifted so many newborn clothes and other accoutrements for my other daughter, there is no way to wear them all or use them all, and they are taking up precious space in our small apartment.
I could go on, but you see where I am going with this…
Spring starts in March and so next month seems as good a time as any, to start simplifying our home and streamlining what we are doing and what is coming in and out of our home.
I literally am feeling overwhelmed with our living space. My OCD/neat freak tendencies are making my normally rational self become undone.
So I am taking action and March is the month to do it. 31 days to get $&!* done.
Who’s with me? 🙂

I just completed a big winter cleaning, although not as much decluttering as I would have liked, for the Lunar New Year. But I want to do some decluttering too because while the house looks super clean and neat, if you go into the closets and desk drawers,not so much. 😀 Good luck!

That’s great that you got in a big winter cleaning! 🙂 I need one of those!

I’m with you. My focus will be the kitchen and our bathroom. Every drawer and cupboard emptied, cleaned, and de-cluttered. I hope that you go easy on yourself though. Some chaos when you have young children is to be expected:)

Good luck with your simplifying/decluttering Ruth! 🙂
