Believe it or not, we’ve made it to week 10 of the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge. That means we’re almost 20% of the way through the challenge. This week, we’ll take on something that is an obsession for many people. You guessed it! It’s time for the great shoe purge of 2021.
Decluttering Challenge – Week 8 – Suits, Blazers & Cardigans
As we wrap up the second month of our 52-Week Decluttering Challenge, we’re coming to the end of our clothing declutter. This week, we’re looking at blazers, cardigans and suits.
The Sunday Spark – Word on the street says…I’m retiring
We announced my retirement date at work this week. In this week’s edition of The Sunday Spark, I discuss why I have a hard time saying the word retirement, along with three ways mushrooms are helping the planet, and the daunting task of decluttering t-shirts and sweatshirts.
Decluttering challenge – Week 7 – T-shirts & sweatshirts
Our week 7 task in the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge could be the most challenging one of all for me. This week, we continue our closet purge with t-shirts and sweatshirts.
Some women are obsessed with shoes. For me, it’s band and concert t-shirts. This is not going to be an easy task.
The Sunday Spark – Do you miss dressing up to go out?
In this week’s Sunday Spark, how a Wordless Wednesday blog post inspired a trip down memory lane to the days when people used to dress up to go out. Plus: making fillable PDFs, the brain benefits of exercise, the value of e-waste—and closet decluttering continues.
Decluttering challenge – Week 6 – Shirts & blouses
Can you believe we’re already at week 6 of the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge? Last week, we made a start on our closet decluttering with the bottoms—pants, skirts, dresses and shorts. In this week’s closet clear-out, we’re looking at tops—shirts, blouses, dressy sweaters and pullovers.
Throwback Thursday – Do you need a little decluttering motivation?
Is decluttering one of your goals for 2024? Whether you’re joining my 52-week decluttering challenge or just following your own schedule, you may need some decluttering motivation as we roll into February.
The Sunday Spark – Dry Feb is underway!
February is here so it’s the start of Dry Feb—a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society where participants pledge to give up alcohol for a month.
In this week’s edition of The Sunday Spark, why I decided to do Dry Feb. Plus: the positive health impact of Ikigai, the brain-based benefits of writing longhand, Norway’s success in electric vehicle adoption, and closet decluttering.
Decluttering challenge – Week 5 – Closet decluttering
Starting this week, we’re turning our decluttering focus to a big problem area for many—closets and clothing. The week of February 8 to 14 is Secondhand Wardrobe Week. What better way to mark the occasion than making a start on our closet decluttering!
The Sunday Spark – Am I ready to be an empty nester?
Earlier this week my daughter left for an extended work trip. It’s quiet around the house without her, which has me asking the question all parents ask at some point: Am I ready be be an empty nester?
In addition to pondering filling the empty nest, the 50th edition of The Sunday Spark discusses rising sugar prices, The Carbon Almanac’s kids page, the reducetarian diet, and decluttering kitchen counters.
