Plants Need Decluttering Too 🌿
|
Happy Friday! When we think about decluttering, we usually picture closets, kitchens, or overflowing toy bins. But today we’re heading somewhere a little different… Let’s spend a few minutes with our plants and gardening supplies. By this point in the summer, you’ve probably figured out which plants are thriving…and which ones have been hanging on by a thread. Maybe you bought flowers you never planted, saved empty nursery pots “just in case,” or have a watering can that’s seen better days. It all adds up. Today’s challenge is simple: 🌿 Declutter 5 things related to plants or gardening. Here are a few ideas:
Remember, it doesn’t have to be a huge project to make a difference. Every item you remove is one less thing to store, organize, clean around, or feel guilty about. This is your permission to let go of the guilt and get rid of it if it's not serving it's purpose in your life. Those little wins really do add up. Reply and let me know what your five things were, I always love hearing what you tackled! Happy decluttering, Nicole |

The easiest way to declutter seasonal items is right as you pull them out. Here are some ideas...
Hi Reader, After last week’s adventure in the underwear drawer, I figured we might as well keep going with the small stuff. This week: socks. And if your house is anything like mine, you probably have at least a few socks that have been living a very uncertain life. You know the ones. In our house they've lovingly earned the name, lone bros. One sock with no matching partner, sitting around waiting for the other one to magically reappear. So this week’s challenge is simple: Find 5 socks to...
Hey Reader, Okay, I have a confession to make... well, actually, it’s not my confession. A subscriber recently sent me an email about switching her drawers from summer to winter, and she gave me permission to share part of her story anonymously. She decided to take inventory of her underwear drawer. Thirty-eight pairs. Thirty-eight. And that didn’t even include the ones waiting at the bottom of the laundry basket. But here’s the part that made me laugh: Despite having 38 pairs to choose from,...
