My #1 Decluttering Tip
Decluttering Tips and Support Weekly Newsletter Vol. 5Dear Reader, Almost a decade into my minimalist journey, I am fairly ruthless about getting physical clutter out of my house. Case in point - yesterday was Valentine's Day. My boys came home with backpacks FULL of valentines, candy, and "treasures". I use the term treasure loosely. But what I see as knick-knacks and junk, they see as something precious. We took a moment to go through their treasure boxes and play my favorite game "Love Like Maybe No" - using the container concept to decide what stayed and what got trashed. In fact, the container concept is the #1 tactical decluttering tip that can simplify decluttering. Even a 6 year old can do it! It's no wonder that my episode about the container concept is one my top downloaded episodes ever! And speaking of episodes... We just reached 100 episodes and I celebrate on today's podcast with audio clips of the top 10 downloaded episodes of all time! Thanks so much for all your support on this journey!

Decluttering Tips and Support Dear Reader, My kids are incredibly lucky to have people in their lives who want to show their love through gift-giving. But figuring out where to put all the gifts causes a lot of stress - and can lead to clutter. How do we navigate conversations with well-meaning relatives about gifts when we're trying to declutter our homes? This week's guest, Khrystyne Jaspers, is an expert on the subject - she lives with her husband and two kids (ages 4 and 7) in a one...
Decluttering Tips and Support **NOTE** Before we jump in: this week's newsletter centers around the connection between minimalism and Christianity. Occasionally I have guests on that mention their faith journeys, but neither my podcast nor my newsletter are solely Christianity-focused.

Decluttering Tips and Support Dear Reader, Often when my clients contact me, it's because the organizing system they had in place "failed" and stuff has exploded everywhere. And as we go through their home like an archaeological dig, it is revealed that they had good intentions by purchasing tools to help them contain the chaos - bins, organizers, and containers galore. But the truth is that they haven't failed - and their system hasn't necessarily failed either. It's that they started with...
