Today’s Simply Clutter Free task: declutter the shoes!
This shouldn’t be too hard around here. I don’t have many shoes and my husband has even less! I think my struggle is going to be convincing my husband that he needs to finally throw away his old broken soccer cleats. (He thinks he might use them one day as backup shoes??) I think if it’s been a year and he hasn’t needed them, they’re gone.
The problem with my shoes is that some of them only get worn a few times a year. I keep trying to convince myself they need to go, but then I end up wearing them again out of sympathy or something. I’m weird, I know.
As for my daughters’ shoes, the too small ones and out of season ones will go into storage or get donated.
How do you keep a handle on your shoe situation?

While I don’t have a craft room, I do think that today’s activity of purging the craft supplies is going to take me more time then previous tasks! I seem to have bins all over the house I’ll be sorting through my daughters' craft supplies too. By the way, I love these storage boxes from London Drugs. They’re wonderful for holding all sorts of stuff!
We also have a few of these ALEX drawer units that we bought from IKEA when we moved into our new home. My husband created a desk out of them and I will show a picture on Instagram later today! We love this set up for the girls!
Here are some links to great craft organization tips:
What’s the craft supply situation like in your home? How much did you manage to purge? Maybe you’ll find some unfinished projects you can finish!

I am officially diaper bag free so I'm down to one purse and a backpack every now and then when I have to tote my laptop along for coffee shop working.
As with life with kids, my purse is currently a catch all for snacks, toys, my wallet, appointment cards, shopping bags, garbage and so much more. Sometimes I have no idea I have so much in there!
Despite the mess that is in my purse, I think today's task should be quite easy to get finished. I actually just purchased a new backpack from Mountain Equipment Co-op on clearance so I actually have to add a few things to it! (Pens, notebook, ear buds...etc.)
While I don't have many tips for purse organization, I think a purse organizer from Amazon.ca like this would be wonderful:
There are many different styles and material!
So, how messy is your purse or bag? How do you keep it organized?
