How cute are they?!!!!!!!!!! Today's Mini Mission Today is a good day for decluttering excess useless knick knacks. Go for it! Continue reading

Product packaging
posted by
Last Saturday Bronwyn made this request in regard to what to do with product packaging. Since I have some experience with this issue I figured I would jump in immediately and write a post about it. As anyone who has been reading 365 Less Things for some time will know, my husband's job requires us to move every now and again, sometimes interstate, sometimes overseas. So as you can imagine I have had some experience with moving. What I do know is that there are some items that are best moved in the packaging they arrived in. Items such as televisions, computers, collectables, printers, Continue reading
Mini Mission Monday ~ Too many of a good thing
posted by
Mini Mission Monday is about finding ten minutes a day to declutter. To make it easy for you, each Monday I set seven declutter missions, one for each day of the week for you to follow. It takes the guess work out of decluttering and makes it easy and "fun" for you to achieve some quick decluttering. Some clutter items are just odd things we have no need for anymore while others we just have far too many of a similar thing. This week we will attempt to reduce clutter that we have too many of. See if you can declutter more than one of each of the following categories. Monday - Books Tuesday Continue reading

Baby Clutter

My post on Tuesday regarding clutter foisted on you from other well intentioned people inspired one readers to send me an email. I am so excited for this reader, even though she sees a potential problem looming I am thrilled for her. Not only because of her happy situation but because she has already discovered the joys of living with less before starting a family. What a great opportunity to for getting it right. My children were 18 & 20 went I embarked on my more minimalist lifestyle and although I am sure they will tell you I was a miser there were a lot of things I could have done Continue reading
Cindy’s Weekly Wisdom ~ Shopping at the Goodwill Outlet
posted by
Cindy's Weekly Wisdom My thrift-store shopping girlfriends, Holly, Natalie, and I hit The Goodwill Outlet last month. Goodwill, I believe, is the most common thrift store in the United States. In Austin, the Outlet is where everything not sold at the neighborhood stores goes to die (at least that's how I think of it). It's a massive, one room warehouse with another massive room for processing goods, and a separate area for the local offices of Goodwill - in total, a 124,200-square-foot (11,538 square meters) building. There's definitely a "last chance" quality to the store. Everything is Continue reading
