My Raisin Family

 Hey Everyone! Today's area I spent a little time decluttering is one of the cubes in my homeschool shelf. This cube storage holds all of our homeschool books, puzzles, games and manipulatives and it tends to get cluttered very quickly. In a house full of ADHD, any area with a flat surface gets filled with stuff and this shelf system is no exception.  Here is the before photo: As you can see, there is just a bunch of random things in there. Craft things my older kiddo has painted that she no longer wanted, whiteboard cleaner and a ribbon from a gift we got for Christmas. So here is the after shot: Much better! To be honest, I am not even sure I will keep these models and the game as we have not used them for a fair while. And I could use the space to put some things for my nieces when they come over. We have a set of markers and colouring books for each of them as well as some puzzles and games. So it might be nice for those things to have a space.  What have you been dec...

 Hey Everyone! Yesterday I posted a declutter challenge both here and on the old IG, and today I have completed my task for the day! As I homeschool our youngest daughter, we have one of those rolling carts with the drawers and it gets VERY cluttered on top. So I spent 10 minutes clearing down the top. It isn't perfect, but it holds all of the stationary we need during the homeschool day. Decluttering the drawers are being saved for another day... I kind of spaced a bit and forgot to take a Before photo so here is a pic of the During stage: I use a lot of glue sticks, however, I had no idea I had so many... I think I found at least 4! And in the back compartment, there were so many old whiteboard markers and pencils that just got lost among all the bigger stuff in there.  So here is the final product: Like I said, not perfect, but at least we can find everything we need quickly. How are you going with the challenge? Thanks for reading!  J xxx

Hey Everyone! Some may know that about a year and a half ago, we moved our family of 7 into a much smaller house. A lot of decluttering happened at that point, and then again at the beginning of this year we cleaned out the garage which had been choc full of boxes. This was only meant to be a temporary house while we looked for a bigger house that suits our needs more. This has not happened and we are pretty happy with where we are now.  However, once again we have found ourselves dealing with a bunch of clutter. I don't exactly feel like my best self when there is a lot of clutter around me which makes it hard to keep things clean and tidy.  So here is my idea: Decluttering one area every weekday and posting it on here, not only to keep me accountable, but also for you to follow along at home! I don't particularly want to have a set area to delutter every day as this will not go well with my ADHD, so the plan is to pick one SMALL area per day. This could be one drawer in the ...
