We have been so busy today. I can’t believe the difference in my kitchen, and we aren’t half done, but the rest will wait for another day.
The big earth-shaking advice here is this.
If I don’t use it why am I junking up my life with it?
My kitchen is so much easier to use without all this stuff. Boy that felt dumb to type those words. Of course my kitchen is easier to use without junk in the way, duh.
This…
became this,
and this… (Nobody knows how the Cascade got in this cupboard, but teenage Pirates don’t always wear their thinking caps in the kitchen.)
became this.
We are really on a roll with the de-junking of the whole place. This feels so great. I am so sick and tired of the clutter.
Some time back I found a site about de-cluttering our homes. Her method was to have a goal of just 6 (or was it 7?) items per day. I originally thought this would work for me. The thing is that my junk is as prolific as our gerbils. See those cupboards up there? The junky ones? That stuff got in there and was fruitful and multiplied. We must have gotten rid of 6 or 7 BOXES of junk. Should I give you a pic of my front porch?
We’ll load all this up tomorrow (and by we, of course I mean Calico Zak, Cannonball Jack and The Squid) and then take it to the Goodwill drop off.
Free at last!
Well, we’re gettin’ there.
Don’t ya just love Works for me Wednesdays? Where else can you get so much helpful advice at once?

Congratulations! That is an impressive haul. It feels great to get rid of that much stuff. And you’re right about how we work around all the clutter we don’t use for so long until we finally get rid of it and realize how much it was in our way.
I would love to be organized I try and don’t keep up with it.
That’s exactly what I did today…declutter…only is was my scrapbook area. Must purge, purge, purge. TFS.
Well, ML, it’s yours for the taking. I actually have put two of them on the old porch, and it’s starting to look iffy about hauling it all away tomorrow. Sick Pirates abound!
hey, i’ll take that waffle iron off your hands!
Wow…great job! I know how liberating this can be! Now…I need to get inspired and go work on this myself!
I can feel the freedom grow as you got rid of more and more. Love the comment about the teen pirates, a hearty Amen to that!
Hey you could probably sell some of that stuff on eBay. You’d be amazed what people buy.

There’s nothing I love better than getting rid of clutter. It feels soooo good!
I love de-cluttering, although I don’t do it often enough. What works even better for me than loading it up and dropping it off is using Freecycle-anyone who wants it can come by and pick it up!
