    3 Approaches to conscious decluttering this holiday season

    December 12, 2023 /

    We find ourselves in a complicated time of year: we highlight joy and happiness, but there can also be sadness; we strive for togetherness but this time can feel lonely. The gifts, decorations, and treats are wonderful, however they can also feel like a a lot to manage as they tax our space, time, and budgets. I’ve been working hard for months to donate, sell, and re-home many items to declutter my family’s space and make it possible to live in a smaller footprint. I have to say, it never ceases to amaze me how easy it is for things to creep into our lives, and how much concerted effort…

    March 9, 2021 /

    Now that you’ve spent all of this time decluttering, you have to figure out what to do with all of your stuff! In this post of our decluttering series, I have a variety of suggestions for more environmentally friendly ways to dispose of your belongings. Give Your Items a New Home Second hand items are a great way to be eco-friendly, so I often try to shop for used items. When I’m decluttering, I also like to try and pass on my items–whether it’s through selling online, giving to a thrift store, or giving items away for free. Here are some ways to give your unwanted items a new home:…

    Questions to Ask Yourself When Clearing out your Closet

    February 16, 2021 /

    For this next post of our decluttering series, we’re focusing on decluttering our closets. Choosing to Let Clothes Go Whether it’s because you’ve been looking at your closet and desiring a more minimalist approach or it’s just time to create some space, letting go of clothing can be challenging. We’ve probably all heard by now Marie Kondo’s question “Does this spark joy?” when it comes to decluttering. I do love that question since I like having things around me that bring joy, but find I need to delve deeper than that, like Roberta Lee does when she talks about wearing her values.

    Approaches to Decluttering: How to Get Started

    February 9, 2021 /

    Last week we shared some of the benefits of clearing clutter and living with less, but the question is: where does one start? Various items or areas of your space can present different challenges to declutter. Some items hold a lot of memories and can be difficult to approach while other areas – like maybe a jammed closet – can seem overwhelming. I enjoy a good purge and have a few methods that work for me, depending on what items or area of my home I’m looking to clear!
