This past week I have managed to get a few decluttering goals met. One big was that has needed work has been my fridgerator. I have not cleaned out my fridge in a while and I finally managed to get it all scrubbed down and cleaned out this past week. It al so clean is sparkles!
Can you tell I am proud of the work I managed to accomplish? I don't like how my home can get so messy so quickly, but that comes from having five young children. I want my home to be a place where my children can live and play so I need to learn to be ok with the messes that happen around our home. I have a few tricks that have helped both me and my children to be ok with the messes that we both make around the house.
Reminding myself, along with my kids, that messes happen and we simply clean them up helps me to not take the mess so seriously. Any mess is only a little bit of work away from being a nice clean space for us to enjoy.
This week we had a birthday party. That meant I did some extra decluttering to get our home ready for more company than we are used to having. I spent a day going through my youngest girl's toy box. I dumped it out and went through everything throwing away things they don't use, and are broken. I also went through my son's toys. Doing this helped me to free up some toy tubs. My son was needed more containers to store his toys, and my girls needed less so I was able to rearrange a few things around and improve the way both rooms looked. I also spent some time putting away the clutter than tends to grow of its own accord all over my kitchen counters. ;-)
How is your decluttering going? Have you been working on things in your home? Are you changing the focus or how you are going about your plan? Please share I would love to hear what you are doing.
