How is your fall going? Much as I hate to think about it, we’ll be getting out the winter coats and boots soon. I’m hoping for a few more weeks of warm fall weather, but this felt like a good week to sort through and declutter coats, boots, and other outerwear in the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge.
Decluttering challenge – Week 42 – Fall & Halloween items
We are well and truly into fall now. Here in Canada, we celebrate both Thanksgiving and Halloween in the same month—two great reasons to love October. I hope you’ll join me for week 42 of the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge. This week, I’m decluttering fall and Halloween items.
Decluttering challenge – Week 39 – Miscellaneous clothing items

Decluttering challenge – Week 38 – Save Your Photos Day
The last Saturday in September is Save Your Photos Day, a day to educate people about ways to organize, share and protect their memories. Week 38 in the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge is all about organizing our photos and preserving our priceless family memories.
Decluttering challenge – Week 37 – Digital Files
“Out of sight, Out of mind”. It’s an expression we’ve all heard many times. As I continue digital decluttering in the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge, I’m finding this to be true when it comes to the files we store on our computers and other devices. This week, I’m decluttering and organizing digital files and folders.
Clutter Tales – An ode to my beloved mix tape collection
Music is like a magical time machine. Just hearing an old song can transport us back to another place and time. Today’s post is a “reverse Clutter Tale”—a story of items I carelessly discarded years ago, but a little part of me wishes I’d kept them. I’m talking about my collection of mix tapes!
Decluttering challenge – Week 36 – Apps and software
Do you have unused software and apps cluttering up your devices? If you do, you’re in the right place! In week 36 of the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge, we continue with digital decluttering. This week, we’ll simplify our lives by decluttering unused apps and software.
Decluttering challenge – Week 35 – Email cleanup
When we think of clutter, it’s easy to focus only on what we can see. But there’s a different kind of clutter that can be just as distracting as visible clutter. This month, we turn our attention in the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge to digital clutter, starting this week with an email cleanup.
Decluttering challenge – Week 34 – Outdoor toys and kids’ playhouse
Are there places inside or outside your home that you haven’t ventured into in years? In week 34 of the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge, we’re tackling one of those areas. It’s time for the long-overdue task of decluttering outdoor toys in our kids’ playhouse.
Decluttering challenge – Week 33 – Important documents and emergency binder
If you lost your wallet, how easily could you identify and replace everything in it? How quickly could you find your birth certificate or other important papers? In week 33 of the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge, we’re taking on the critical task of organizing important documents. We’ll also put together an emergency binder so we, or our loved ones, can easily find things in case of an emergency.
