Apr. 8, 2009 - Decluttering - a long term project
Decluttering - it always seems to be a topic of conversation. We have too much stuff. Here are a few lessons I am coming to grip with
* We don't use 1/2 of what we own, so ditching 20% shouldn't be that hard!
* This stuff slowly accumulated, like a frog in boiling water. Now that I am aware of it though I can chip away at it, a bit every day.
* Organising my storage space before I work on my clutter - find a home for it first - then everything will have its place.
So with these lessons in mind I am trying to declutter three areas a week (and Jess is going to take on 1 area for me)
This week my areas are:
1. Shoes / handbags
2. Jewellery (lots of costume jewellery! Love it!)
3. Clothes - folded on the shelves in the wardrobe.
Jessica will sort and organise the office cupboard.
Yesterday I set aside 1/2 hour to do my shoes and handbags - I ended up spending 2 hours and working on my clothes as well. My wardrobe is looking great! Still a lot of work to go but bit by bit we will get there.
I removed two big bags of soft toys that we have set aside to donate to the hospital. Today they will be washed and given away.
I threw away two bags of clothes that are so old, stretched, or stained to be enjoyable to wear.
I threw away several handbags and broken shoes (why have I kept broken shoes I don't know!!)
I've put aside another large bag of clothes to give away.

Be a Deliberate Parent
We need to know where we want to take our family, and how we are going to get there. We need to be very deliberate in our training of our children.
Homemaking
In amongst the parenting, the training, the homeschooling I must remember that I am also a homemaker.
