We have been in our apartment building for 10 years now, in the specific apartment we are living in for 7 years. During those 7 years, we have had three children and I started a home based business. We have ALOT of clutter. Baby boy clothes from my son who is now 6, baby girl clothes from my first daughter that I am saving for my second daughter, baby gear and big kids' toys, maternity clothes and clothes in several different sizes for me. . . It all adds up.
I am really tired of all of this junk around the house. I am by no means a minimalist, but I would like to have a decluttered house. I think I would feel better and it would be so much easier to maintain our house.
I don't have a ton of time to devote to decluttering, so I have decided to challenge myself to get rid of 5 items a day--35 items a week until this house looks more like a normal house and not, well, not like it looks right now. I'll be reporting back each Wednesday. Care to join me?

Good for you! I truly believe people are happier and healthier when there is less clutter! I could probably be called a minimalist...I sold/donated my baby stuff the moment by youngest daughter outgrew things! But it's incredible how things still manage to pile up. Good luck!

I'll join you! Five items per day works for me!
I've been struggling with how to declutter when I barely have time to do the dishes. Five items a day is a challenge I think I can handle!
