40 days, 40 bags Challenge starts NOW!
A fresh new spring season is upon us and with that comes a challenge from a fellow blogger that I'll be participating in. Stuff is everywhere in all aspects of our lives in our homes, cars, lives, bodies, heads etc. What this challenge does is gives us a fresh perspective to look at our homes and challenges us to see if all the stuff we have is really stuff we need, love or even want any longer. I for one am looking forward to participating, if you are interested in taking a look or interested in doing this yourself take a peek over at this blog and join in! But here's how it works in a nutshell, from now until Easter -for forty days, our goal is to go through every room in our homes and touch everything, decide if it's something you can live without or if it is something you love and to really pare down, to get rid of the clutter that takes up space in our homes. Then once the clutter is gone and our homes are decluttered we can put a 'spit-shine' on our homes and have a fresh new look for Spring. Let's all see if we can get 40 bags in 40 days!

ReplyDeletejust saw it! think i might give it a whirl! declutter my life!!
ReplyDeleteme too!!!!!so glad you posted this and gave the link to her blog, she reminds me of Flylady, but with a twist somehow. I went to her blog last night, and got so inspired by her energy, & enthusiam that I have been painting walls, and rearranging stuff in the kitchen, and hung my favorite curtains back up. Looks really cute right now!......a corner of the kitchen anyway!Still have more to go ,but needed an iced TEA break. Haven't decluttered a bag YET....... BUT I DID GET RID OF SOME "GOODIES!" Yes Matthew, I moved the cups again...!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! We are going to do a remodel of the WHOLE HOUSE! AUGH! Mid Summer, yes, it WILL get here beyond those icy gripes and groans we have now. Does anyone know of a place where I can donate loads of good clothes that are not yet at the dirt shirt stage? Since our blog hostess & family was my favorite donation place, where else can I chuck good clothes where they will still be worn and loved? Can I add any of mine to the mass exit from North of Nowhere? You bet cha!
ReplyDeleteBTW Jan, I love your new corner of the kitchen! yes, it is very cute! Off to do my own "re de cluttering" ...I love it! So inspired now! Thanks Twistie, Sweetland and Jan for the posts. These ladies are all very special!
