Declutter Your Life - 40 Bags in 40 Days
If you have a family, you know how fast the "stuff" piles up. It gets out of control sometimes. Life gets busy, you get behind. It happens to the best of us! You can take back the control though!
The 40 Bags in 40 Days challenge from Ann Marie over at White House Black Shutters is so helpful in getting rid of all those things we no longer need. It's a simple concept that allows you to slowly work through rooms in your home. Manageable task is the key to success when it comes to getting rid of clutter.
I worked through every room in our house in 40 days. This is a picture I took when I went through my 4 year olds stuffed animals. This was challenging, to say the least. The pile on the left is KEEP! Ha! Why do kids love stuffed animals so much?
More stuff ready to be donated and some to be put out to the trash. Yay for freeing up valuable real estate in closets and rooms. We don't have a large house, it's not tiny but it works for us. For it to keep working for my family of 5 I have to stay on top of things. Sometimes that doesn't happen and I need a challenge like this to get me motivated. It works!
