Decluttering aka Marie Kondo

Marie Kondo has a new Netflix series based on her books. I actually enjoyed the series better than the book.  It actually got me to declutter a bit probably not enough. But hey it is a start.

Funny thing is the series is having an impact at Thrift Stores - Netflix Series Boosting Local Thrift Stores Donations

I have written about her book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up twice in my Diary Of A Homemaker Series - Spotless and Who is the Heck is Marie Kondo

Clutter Busting Day 5

I am linking up with Money Saving Mom Clutter Busting  Challenge Linky Party. Well, I have fallen behind posting pictures of my clutter busting activities.  My Goodwill pile is growing and growing. Day 5 included 5 cookbooks. Now I can actually place the cookbooks in my cupboard . This stack also included a book and some flash cards.

The most unusual thing that I have clutter busted was a park bench.  We broke down this busted down park bench.

The wood has been recycled into the wood pile.  I think the back with some clean up can be turned into some garden art to hang on the fence. This was a family affair because it took me, my husband, and child to break it all down.  While not completely gone.  It is less of an eyesore.

Clutter Busting - Day 1

I decided to link up to Money Saving Mom's Clutter Busting Challenge.  I was working out in my backyard aka the Jungle.  I decided to do some outside clutter busting.  I came up with a few more than 7 items.  It looks a little like the Island of Misfit Toys.  All of this ended up in the trash minus the pot saucer. I think it is admirable start.
