Clutter-Busting Challenge: Purse edition

by 4 Comments


cleaning out clutter

I’ve been away from home the past two days and decided to take the clutter-busting challenge on the road with me.

Instead of decluttering my home, as I sat in the backseat of the car on our way to Wisconsin Dells, I decided to go through my brick purse. I confess that I only made a small dent in the contents of my purse, but it’s something.

Here’s what I cleaned out of my purse:

I removed old library cards, receipts, a Kohl’s coupon, a Caribou Coffee punch card, and papers I no longer needed.

I’m back home now since we only did an overnight stay at a Great Wolf Lodge. We had a great time, and I’m hoping to share some of our experience with you soon. I’ve never been to a Great Wolf Lodge before and haven’t been to Wisconsin Dells in over 10 years. There’s a million things to do there, and I can’t believe how many water parks there are!

Anyway, tomorrow I’ll get back to work on decluttering my home…just as soon as I’ve finished decluttering my inbox. πŸ˜‰

Have you cleaned out your purse lately? Are you participating in the clutter-busting challenge?

It’s May, and, yes, I totally have winter hats laying around my house. πŸ™‚

They should be neatly packed away in a box somewhere…just waiting to be used next winter, but they’re not. They were actually hanging around Elisabeth’s changing table.

And since we have about 1,234,455 hats already, these two hats have GOT to go.

The hats went and so did one of Elisabeth’s baby shirts and more stray toys. Everything went into the donation bag with the exception of one of the hats.

Did you do any decluttering today? Are all of your hats, gloves, and scarves packed up for the winter?

I love this challenge.

It’s forcing me to get rid of STUFF.

Stuff that I don’t need. Stuff that others could use. Stuff that belongs in the trash and not taking up space in our home.

I’m getting rid of stuff, and I like it.

Here’s what I decluttered our home of today.
