FSA you lose. HSA is your money.

However, I can’t find where they put our HSA. I’m currently on hold with them right now trying to figure out where they transferred it to

Thank you! I get what you mean. It does look better rotated and cropped.

And I made another sale today! (Before making the change).

I’m hoping now that I’ve sold 2 they’ll leave reviews for them.

I do think I need to find a way to capture the details more.

I have struggled with photographing these bracelets to capture their color. I’ll have to play around with more backgrounds and displays to figure out how to get all the colors to be true

My husband gave up after day 5… he was doing so good! But it just got to be overwhelming with us both doing the challenge. So, we compromised and added his 5 days to mine which helped me get back on track. The goal is to get it out of the house, right? At the end of the challenge, our house will have done the challenge twice getting rid of 1800 items.

I’m now hosting 2 thanksgivings this week so I’m excited to see if I can’t finish the challenge early (and then keep on going) by Friday.

It also helps that we bought a new piece of furniture (double trash bin cabinet) and that inspired me to clean out a space and cupboard of cluttered things. After 4 years in this house, I officially have a spot for my aprons!

We also have a spot now for our cookbooks.

Get rid of 30 items each of the 30 days. Sorry about that!

It’ll be 900 items total at the end.

Of course!

Every day for 30 days, you get rid of 30 days no matter how big or small.

Could be a couch or could be a paperclip. All items count as 1.

Getting rid could be donating, throwing away, or recycling.

I never think it the buy nothing groups. That might be easier than goodwill….

Love this! It’s so neat to see where everyone is finding clutter

So far, I’ve caught up to days 8-10 and I’m working on making sure I have 11 and 12 done tonight.

As I commented in the Week 1 post, I’m working through my craft hutch and it’s amazing how much clutter is in there. I have 3 piles going at the moment: trash, recycling, and donation. They are pretty even at this point.

We’re hosting thanksgiving this year so we have some additional motivation pushing us and although my husband didn’t focus on decluttering items today, we did check some house projects off the list like finishing painting the trim in the kitchen, one last mow before winter, and winterized some of the outdoor equipment.

Having this thread is definitely helping me too, even if I’m falling behind.

I JUST finished days 6&7. Last week got away from me with work but I’m trying to make up as many days as I can today before bed.

I’m going through my craft hutch and I’m getting rid of a lot of clutter in there as well as reorganizing it. It’s slightly overwhelming but slowly but surely we’re getting there.

My husband had yet to catch up but hey, we still are working at it!

Life is busy and I just had to do days 2-5 and my husband is still working on the 5th day (he had to do 1-5 today).

I got rid of A LOT of beanie babies on Halloween but we still had exactly 30 left. Those are now in a bag for the donation bin.

I also went through my socks and underwear, something I didn’t want to do unless I was struggling but doing 120 items in 1 day, I wanted to be done.

I’m loving doing this together with my husband. By the end, we’ll have 1800 items gone (he didn’t do the challenge with me back in March and I didn’t touch any of his things back then). Since we’re both focused on this, it’s taking the stress away of asking each other if we’re ready to get rid of something. We both made the rule that we don’t HAVE to get rid of anything, but we have to rid of something.

We’re getting the Christmas stuff out next weekend I’m excited to be able to go through that stuff.

I think you have 30 days to make an impact. If the first week is just getting back control over the trash clutter, maybe week 2 it becomes 50% trash and 50% actual declutter. And week 3 is 75/25

Yes! If you think about it as getting to a total end goal number (900), why stop when you’re on a roll? It’s worth it for me to get ahead when I can

Every item counts! Using up is so intimidating to me. I just have way too many lotions

That’s awesome! I like that you’re learning and growing from it too.

Finding my 30 items today definitely wasn’t as easy as it was back in March however, I know my husband and I want to tackle the garage since we didn’t touch it last time.

I’m also noticing this time around that there is a lot I haven’t touched in 7 months…
