It’s roughly 16 weeks until the start of another New Year — which is often the time of year everyone wants to “get more organized”.
However, wouldn’t it be fantastic if you could dedicate a chunk of time, every week from now through the end of the year, to complete a full-house purge BEFORE the New Year?!?! I’m sharing my simple plan today!
There are hundreds of ways to save money on virtually every in-store and online shopping trip, and then there are ALLLL the ways you can save on second-hand items!
I use many of these tips and tricks in my own life, and I save thousands of dollars every year as a result! However, today I’m sharing an even simpler, completely fool-proof way to save EVEN MORE!
It’s officially Summer Vacation for the Dekker family, and we started off with a week FULL of fun (and a decent amount of work too!)
Today I’m sharing updates on our bathroom renovation process (yay!), my tentative summer blogging plan, our super simple menu, and a bunch of pictures of what we’ve been up to lately.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m most definitely NOT a minimalist in any area of my life — except maybe my schedule!
That said, when it comes to what I wear, I NEED to keep things simplified and streamlined, otherwise I struggle from decision fatigue and just end up wearing the same 3 or 4 things over and over and over again.
Today I’m giving another peek into my closet so you can see what a fairly large capsule wardrobe looks like for me!
As many of you know, I try to be mindful about what I bring into my home — thankfully, I’m not a big shopper, so it’s relatively easy for me to resist impulse purchases!
However, when I DO purchase something, I mentally think through several questions before bringing the item home. Today I’m sharing those questions, and how they help me resist extra clutter in my home!
Dish soap is one of the household cleaners I have chosen not to replace with a natural or DIY homemade cleaner — and I don’t think that will change for a while.
You see, along with washing our dishes, we use dish soap for SOOOO many different tasks in and around our house. If you’ve never tried using your dish soap for anything other than dishes, you’re totally missing out!
It’s no secret that we LOVE buying used and secondhand items whenever we can. Of course, buying used items means I will need to thoroughly wash everything before we use it!
If you’re new to buying thrift store items or if you’re interested in how exactly I clean our thrift store finds, I will hopefully cover most items in this post!
Since we have so much more coming INTO our home these days, I really have to practice regular purging to keep things from getting too out of control.
I don’t have a fancy system or cute donation bins… but so far, the simple system I’ve been using for years and years continues to work well for us, even as the volume of things entering our home continues to increase.
