Does it really matters if it sparks joy? You know you need to clean out clothes from your closet. Keep it under control for good!

You guys are amazing! It was so great to see so many photos of your change stashes in the Financial Decluttering Facebook Group. And I loved hearing about where you take your change to have it counted and what purposes you give it each year. Just as a reminder, each of the Financial Decluttering assignments should only take 10-15 minutes and you’ve only missed assignments to Clean Out Your Wallet, Clean Out

Why do we treat change like it's trash?! Those jars and wallets and car consoles have MONEY in them. Make the most of it with these tips!

I LOVED yesterday’s challenge. It didn’t take me long to clean out my freezer but I know what we have and I’m not worried about running to the grocery store. We have PLENTY in that freezer. This weekend’s snow storm can bring it because I can cook up a storm without even heading out the door. Just as a reminder, each of the Financial Decluttering assignments should only take 10-15

Put on your parka, let's save some money (and our sanity) by cleaning out the freezer. How you can quickly get the job done!

Hooray for getting back to “real life” again. I’ve got dishes in the dishwasher, laundry in the washer and the dryer, and now I’m ready to declutter. You may remember that we’ve already cleaned out the refrigerator door. Today, we take on the freezer. I’m not talking about your deep freeze. I’m talking about the small freezer on top (or below) your refrigerator. Just as a reminder, each of the

Guess what? You may need to spend more money on shoes! YAY. But first declutter shoes you already own with these easy tips!

It’s a day when I’d really rather than nap than declutter anything. But I’m trucking forward regardless. And for me, this one shouldn’t take too long. If you want to go for the gusto, rather than just getting the minimal done, consider expanding the decluttering process to your entire family instead of just doing your own project. *NOTE* Right after I typed these words, I ended up taking our youngest

Does your house have a junk drawer? Today, check out the best methods to clean it out and keep it organized for good on the cheap.

There’s snow here today. I’ve spent the morning doing the regular cleaning – laundry, dishes, and the like. Plus, my crockpots are working overtime and I’ve baked a little too. A slow, quiet morning was just what my soul needed – even if it was filled with “normal” things. Now seems like the perfect chance to slip into another decluttering challenge (or maybe revisit one or two from prior days).

Inbox flooded with messages causing you to spend? Clean Out Your Inbox for good. Great tips for nixing SPAM and unsubscribing, too!

Yesterday’s challenge helped us breath easier. I’m guessing today’s might do the same. We’re headed to your e-mail Inbox – or if you’re like me and manage multiple accounts, your e-mail Inboxes. Once again, we’re looking to eliminate life clutter and financial spending triggers.

True confession time. All my life long, I’ve struggled with a messy desk. If you’ve read Your Money, Your Marriage, you know my epic battle to secure the Neat as a Pin award began in first grade.
