Project: Simplify Week 5

This week's project was "choose your own" spot to declutter and clean. There are plenty of places I could choose, but the medicine cabinet in our bathroom was staring me in the face. The pictures might not look that different, but it looks and feels different to me which is what's most important.

Project: Simplify (part 4)

Even though I participated in weeks 2 and 3, I didn't get any pictures posted. We did make progress on purging our file cabinet (week 2) and going through children's clothes and toys (week 3), but don't have the evidence to prove it here!

Onto week 4... the refrigerator and pantry. Our refrigerator definitely needed cleaning out as it was packed with various leftovers and too much stuff. It feels good to have it wiped clean and some empty leftover containers back in the cupboard. Here are some before and after pictures.

It's been a great motivation to do some purging and simplifying!

Project: Simplicity (week 1)

This week I'm joining Simple Mom's Project: Simplicity. The first week is focused on cleaning out our own closets. It's been freeing to pull out things that no longer fit or that I no longer love.

Here's part of my donate pile from cleaning out my closet and drawers.
