The Water Bottle Population Explosion
|
Happy Friday Reader! Can we talk about water bottles for a minute? Is anyone else's water bottle collection multiplying when you're not looking? There are the kids' water bottles, the sports bottles, the insulated tumblers, the promotional bottles from who-knows-where, and somehow a growing collection of lids that don't appear to belong to anything (seriously, where did these all come from?). This week's 5-a-Day Friday challenge is simple: Find 5 water bottles or tumblers to remove from your collection. ✔️A bottle with no lid You don't need to reorganize the whole cabinet. Just make a little more room for the bottles your family actually uses. Because the easiest kitchen reset isn't always buying another organizer. It's creating space for the things you already use every day. Have a great weekend! Nicole P.S. Are you ready for a little deeper dive into decluttering? Check out the 5 day challenge here:

Hey Reader, We’re getting to that point in summer where you probably have a pretty good idea of which shoes you’ve actually worn all season. Those flip-flops you wore into the ground? The gardening shoes that are completely worn out? The sandals you bought but somehow never wear? They’re giving you some pretty useful information. And here’s another one: If you work from home, are there still shoes in the back of your closet that you used to wear to the office? Maybe you used to wear heels...
Hey Reader, Raise your hand if you still have a shelf, cabinet, or tote full of CDs and DVDs. 🙋♀️ Now let me ask you this… When was the last time you actually listened to a CD or watched a DVD? And by the way…do you even have something that still plays them? Before you start tossing everything, though, here’s the question I want you to ask yourself: Imagine all of your streaming services suddenly stopped working for a week... what DVDs would you actually pull out and watch? Those are the ones...
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....
