homemaking

Today, I woke up to five sick kids. Fevers, runny noses, and all-around fussiness abounded. It wasn’t pleasant, but, by God’s grace, I made it through the day without feeling crazy and overwhelmed. I know it’s because others were praying for me, and I am so,so grateful for them.

I waited until just before the kids went to bed to think about decluttering, and I honestly wasn’t sure what I was going to shuffle through today. After a look around my bedroom, I decided to tackle Elisabeth’s clothes.

Here are the 7 pieces I decided to add to our donation bag:

I’ve mentioned in the past that it can be hard for me to let go of baby clothes. For the most part, I can easily detach and donate them now. I still keep a few items of clothing that the kids have worn over and over as keepsakes.

Everything I set apart today was easy to say goodbye to. Okay, except for the Tangled pajamas. Those were a little difficult, but everything else…that was easy. 😉

Did you do any decluttering today?

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

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 spent a little time going through a toy basket today and picked out 7 random toys. The zhu zhu pet is being donated, and everything else went to the trash.

Did you clean any clutter out of your home today?
