Declutter Challenge

January 15, 2012 By Shelley Zurek 839 Comments

Did my Life get too Cluttered?

Woman with clutter Blog Note: I have severely disappointed one of my readers, maybe more and I am sorry.  I started this declutter challenge back in Jan., 2011.  We had 3 months worth of prizes added to the pile and a nice group of readers jumped on board and participated enthusiastically.  Then my life took over (one kid graduating high school out of state plus open house, one graduating college, sick mom, another kid moved out, high school senior went to college, 2 kids got licences, a wedding, a bridal shower, yada-yada-yada! )  Anywho, I let the ball drop on this and I am sorry!  Especially to my dear reader who is upset with me.  But the challenge isn’t ruined yet…we have this month to get caught up!

So Let’s Catch up!

Anyway the deal was, you were supposed to declutter one item everyday for 365 days.  Then you were supposed to  give your input  every month into how you were doing as your entry and I would add a prize to the pile each month.  You guys did an awesome job of commenting in the first three months.

Here’s a story from one of our reader’s pictures, Jen S., that she shared  on her decluttering efforts this year:

    the hot spot is the bar area right when you walk in the kitchen because that’s where we spend a lot of time, the mail gets dropped, and packages from shopping are laid.

    the kitchen table is my clutter hotspot. its the easiest place to just throw everything after we get done with it. things such as mail and school papers, toy (they get picked up and put in the middle of the table so little one cant get them). u name it and its probably on my table
