I have been running in high gear for the past few weeks with no reprieve in sight. I’ve had 3 big projects at work, a couple of 4-H meetings to plan and run, a sick kiddo, and a brand new, very first grandbaby to visit. Yay! It’s been intense and exhausting leaving me with no energy to do any decluttering. The house is getting worse by the day although there’s been a few glimmers of hope… the kids have started doing a few things without being asked. Another Yay!!!
I STILL cringe every time I look at my front porch. It’s awful. I have one afternoon next week when I might be home and I think that I have to do the porch. Boxes need to be cut up and things need to go once and for all. I’m not going to hold my breath since I haven’t found an ounce of success out there yet but I’m going to give it another shot.
We found focusing on one box at a time and then taking whatever we are donating away the same day. We really just needed it out.
Glad the kiddos are stepping up! Maybe they can start helping with the decluttering by not adding to it!
I love it that the places that have been significantly decluttered are so much easier to clean up. It’s so nice that a few minutes and a little bit of effort can make those spots look good even if there’s a few things sitting around. It amazes me every single time – still – even after all these months!
Oh, JEN!! Congrats on the new grand baby!! S/He will never know a thing about the clutter, but will remember your love! Clutter is only a thing, girl!! Give yourself grace!!
You will get it done. Eventually! 😀
