Cindy's Weekly Wisdom As if for the first time, last week I noticed that there is a large bulletin board partially tucked between the wall and my dresser. What's it doing there? Well, I think it's been for for two years, since we remodeled and it needed a new "temporary" home. That made me wonder what other pockets of cluttered I had squirrel away. For your edification and mine, I grabbed my camera and wandered the house. I found two more areas, and what makes these pockets special is that I had no idea they were there until I went looking for them. The first pocket, as I said, was my … [Read more...]

Consider it a donation and let it go!
In quick response to last Monday's Mini Missions I received this comment from Annabelle explaining how she had mastered the weeks challenge in one day. Her quick decision to donate the seven things that she had chosen to charity then and there reminded me of something that happened on the Sunday before. A friend of mine has been decluttering her house for a while and I have offered to show her how to go about using ebay and giving her suggestion on how she can get rid of some things. Her husband and mine work together and they have both used the online notice board at their work place to sell … [Read more...]
Mini Mission Monday ~ A little random decluttering
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. For this weeks mini mission I thought I would just pick some random areas around the house that you might not of decluttered anything from for a while. If you don't have some of these categories to declutter from substitute them with ones of your own. Perhaps someone will come up with a crazy … [Read more...]

Friday’s Favourite Five ~ 2Sep2011
Oh my goodness, it was near to impossible to narrow this weeks comments down to just five? There were so many great conversations going on. Here are the five I have picked though, I hope you enjoy them. I would also suggest you read all the comments from Saturdays post if you want to hear some inspiring declutter success stories. Amidst floods and tornadoes Amy found time to leave this humorous comment. She squeezed this in during a short break from pumping water out of her basement and with the power flickering on and off. Now that is dedication to my blog. Thanks Amy! Willow took the … [Read more...]
Your relationship with clothes
I received a comment form Amy last week that just begged asking the question ~ Why is that we buy clothes and then decide later that we don't like them any more. Here is Amy's comment: Your post reminded me of a time when I was clearing out dresses that I no longer wore. Either they didn’t fit quite right anymore or they were, as you say, “second favoritesâ€. I got everything together for hubby to take to the local charity here and he started going through them saying things like “Why are you getting rid of these, they are perfectly good dresses?†(Hubby is a “saverâ€) So I said, … [Read more...]
