Decluttering

Is this your year to get organized and declutter? Look no further. You’ll find everything you need to complete my 52 Weeks of Decluttering and Organizing challenge right here.

In 2021, I took the challenge myself and decluttered over 3,000 items. Every Saturday, I shared my successes and failures, and tips to help you with your challenge. In 2024, I’m revisiting the challenge to see if I can beat my 2021 tally.

If you have friends or family members who could benefit from a little less clutter in their lives, please share a link to this page and spread the word!
