It’s time today to see what kind of scary things are lurking in your bathroom cupboards! I’m sure I’ll find a few long forgotten items because bathroom stuff just sort of gets shoved in the cupboards! One thing I know for sure is that the cupboards and closet in our bathrooms are in need of some organization. I’m also looking forward to tossing quite a few things!
Here are a few links to inspiring bathroom organization ideas:
What is your bathroom cupboard situation like? Will this be an all day task or a short one?

Ah books. I’m so torn with books. I have some I’m keeping only because I loved reading them when I was younger and I thought my daughters might enjoy them one day. Silly? I’m not sure! However, today, I am determined to declutter at least a few books.
I’ve been buying (and borrowing) less books lately because I bought a Kindlea couple of years ago. I avoided those electronic devices for so long, but in the end they really spoke to my “wanting less clutter” side. And now I’m in love with the thing. I actually read more often! And I love that I can have so many books when we go away!
As you might have guessed, today’s activity for the Simply Clutter Free Challenge is to sort through our books. I know I have some books that I think some friends of mine will enjoy so I'll be giving those away.
Do you have books you need to be rid of? How do you ‘rid’ them? Sell them? Donate them?

Letting go of clutter may sound like a stressful idea to you. There are many reasons why we hang onto clutter, but there are far more positive reasons you should let go of clutter. Physical clutter can dampen your ability to live a free, happy life. Today I’m going to share some reasons why you should let go of physical clutter to live a happier and healthier lifestyle.
Sucks the Life out of You
There is a relationship between physical
clutter and mental clutter. When you find that you have piles of items in the
home that no longer serve you, your mind becomes more cluttered. Let’s face it,
clutter makes your physical life appear unorganized which plays a toll on your
mental capacity.
Clutter Doesn’t Define You
Sure you may have an emotional attachment
to some of the clutter around your home, but this clutter doesn’t define you.
The clutter you’ve been holding onto for sentimental value is clogging your
home environment. You can remove the clutter and still hold precious memories
in your heart and mind.
Keeps Your Focus Blurry
Clutter makes you focus on things that
don’t matter, such as materialistic items versus emotional connections. You may
find that you’re fixated on having more clutter rather than becoming more aware
of what truly matters in life, connection and growth.
Encourages Fear
You may find that you’re so attached to the clutter as a definition for who you are that you’re paralyzed in fear. The fear that letting go of clutter will somehow make you lose your sense of self-identity. It’s important to remember that you define yourself, not your materialistic items.
Stuck in the Past
You may not realize the energy that clutter
carries. These items that you’ve accumulated have their own energy that can
impact your everyday thoughts and patterns of behavior. Often your clutter
keeps you stuck in the past, unable to move forward for a healthier lifestyle.
Many of you are hanging onto the clutter that’s accumulated because you think of the monetary value. (Meaning the money you spent to get this clutter.) The other reasons could be an emotional attachment or the inability to know how to get rid of clutter. Regardless of why you’ve been holding onto this clutter for years, it’s time to focus on the reasons you should let go of clutter. I hope that my list will inspire you to start removing physical clutter from your life so that you can feel free of anything that holds you back from living peacefully.
I always find the task of decluttering clothes somewhat overwhelming. Even if I haven’t worn something in a long time, I can usually find a reason to wear it once I’m deciding to declutter it However, I’m sure that there are some clothes that I either don’t like, or that don’t/won’t fit properly. While I don’t think my declutter pile will be huge this time, I know I’ll have something to say goodbye too.
I will also be going through my daughters’ closets to put away too small clothes and donate stuff they don’t wear.
Here’s a post I wrote about7 Ways to Pare Down Your Closet that may help you today. Also, I just recently finished reading the book Simple Happy Parenting and I feel like it made me look at our clothes in a whole new way (and other household items). You may enjoy it as well! Also, the show on Netflix, Tidying Up by Marie Kondo was really inspiring and helped me to understand the book a bit more!
Do you have a lot of clothes that will be going into the donate pile?
