I’m willing to bet that everyone has at least one junk drawer at home. You know what I’m talking about, the place where you stash extra pens, post-its, batteries, keys, stamps, paperclips and more. The beauty of a junk drawer (besides being a handy catch-all) is when it’s closed up tight, it’s out of sight […]

If you are finding it difficult to kickstart your decluttering project, perhaps it helps to have a closer look at the facts of decluttering to help you get off to the right start. I know sometimes I need a good reminder to get the motivation flowing again. The Truth About Decluttering 1. It’s unlikely to […]

Have you taken the time to declutter your inbox recently? If you have had the same email address for several years (or in my case – 17 years), chances are you have accumulated a lot of unnecessary email clutter. This is bad for several reasons: 1. You can never find what you are looking for […]

Can you feel it? The end is near – we have reached the final declutter task for the year as part of the Simplify My Life year long challenge. If you have managed to keep up, give yourself a big pat on the back right now. If you have only just discovered the challenge, that’s […]

If you are anything like us, your kitchen utensil collection seems to grow each year. Despite having decluttered the utensil drawer only recently, during our overall kitchen declutter, it seems to have filled up all over again. Urgh! And the things that end up in there can at times be quite unusual, like disposable cutlery, our cheese […]

Our second last declutter challenge has arrived. Feels good right? Almost a completely overhauled home if you have stuck along with us from start to finish. So this month’s Simplify My Life challenge sees us doing an overhaul of our hobbies supplies and the spare room declutter.   SIMPLIFY MY LIFE – SPARE ROOM/HOBBIES DECLUTTER […]

This month sees our Simplify My Life declutter challenge take us outdoors (for part of it) as we do the backyard and garage declutter. A pretty big workload ahead for some of you, which I apologise for but hey… we’ve had a few easy ones thrown in along the way so it’s time to get […]

The time has come for another Simplify My Life declutter challenge and this month we are on to the dining room declutter. For most, this one is a relatively simple area, although it all depends what other furniture and storage happens to be in your dining area. SIMPLIFY MY LIFE – DINING ROOM DECLUTTER Dining rooms can either […]

The home office is a place of convenience, where so much important stuff often goes one, but it also can become a place of chaos fairly quickly. This month’s Simplify My Life task is the home office declutter. If you do not have a home office, you can instead tackle your computer desk or any […]

Computers are a huge part of most of our lives these days, with our digital lives often being a huge part of our every day now. So it may or may not come as a surprise that instead of an actual room this month, we are decluttering our beloved computers. SIMPLIFY MY LIFE DECLUTTER COMPUTER […]

The June declutter area for the Simplify My Life challenge just happened to be the living room declutter, which is one of the most utilised spaces in most homes. Easy to build up clutter and become untidy quickly, but an important space for most families. DECLUTTERING MY LIFE – LIVING ROOM My own living room was becoming a […]

Decluttering is a fabulous thing. It gets rid of excess stuff that we simply don’t need. Decluttering saves us money by revealing what we already and also reminding us what we actually do not need!
