It has taken me all year so far to even start looking at de-cluttering. Better late than never right?

Coming into the cooler months here I find it much easier to pull everything out of cupboards and spread it around than I do in the warmer months. Also I find it a great time to look through everything and decide what needs tossing, replacing.
Any way over the next few weeks while you are all enjoying the warmth and the sunshine I will be holed up decluttering my little home.

LOTS of decluttering getting done here today. told dd to go through her closet... 2 big bags of clothes to give, 6 pairs of shoes in the garbage and 1 to give, lots of costume jewelry, stuffed toys, books are being given away.... I am tired and I'm just going through what she takes out.

In front of my computer
I have a huge ottoman that I'd like to take to DS. That would clear up some space in the living room.DD and I decluttered a box of weeds in the backyard flower garden.

I am sorting out the family room. I went through the bookcase yesterday and got rid of a few books. Our family loves books so it is always hard to donate any. Also went through the small cupboard where I keep candles and the like. I have a real hard time burning some candles, they are just so pretty. Very odd.
Today will be the linen cupboard and my desk.

Finished the desk in the family room. Shredded a pile of papers and put the rest in the files where they belong.
Linen cupboard done, put a few old towels in the rag bag and have written new towels on the shopping list.
This week I hope to work on the kids bathroom and tidy and declutter it.

Good jobs ladies!

Katrinia, you are moving along good with your cooler weather.

Lucie, I think you always do good moving stuff out.

I get on and off board so often---nothing ever really gets done. :(

I do not think that I will get to the kids bathroom this week. The week has gone by too quickly and I only have tomorrow and then work Thursday and Friday. I will move onto the kids bathroom next week.
I really must clean out the spice cupboard. I have many jars of spices in there that I have bought for a recipes and not used again. Grrrr, it really is a mess.

Sent 2 big bags of stuff to mom's on the last day of May.

DD was here this weekend so she went through the 2 plastic tubs of stuff that was in her work desk. she threw away or gave more than 80% of the stuff so I'm very glad. the 2 tubs are now empty.

... on to June!
