Spring is just around the corner, sure this may sound like wishful thinking when we have a ridiculous amount of snow outside my house door, but I promise you it is coming soon. The days are starting to be longer and soon we will need to start our spring cleaning tips. There are many things we can do to declutter our homes during Spring, plant spring bloom bulbs, open the windows, let some air in and get going through stuff you have not touched in months or years.
My rule of thumb when decluttering my home is to ask if I have used the item or toy in the last few months, or last year. If it is a toy of the children, I work with them to determine if the toy is something they will someday play with again or if the toy is something they have truly outgrown that another family will benefit from having. I also work with my own items under this same premise, do I need it more than another person may need it?
I have a few totes packed away here at the house from last year spring cleaning. We just kept piling items into totes that we set aside in hopes of having a yard sale someday. The yard sale has not yet happened. Another way to get rid of items is to set out a free pile at the end of your driveway; I have found many will stop to pick those items up. In the past my free piles have been picked up by church volunteers who were driving around picking up free piles for their rummage sale.

I like to Spring Clean. I remember someone coming around to pick up things once a year when I was a kid… maybe Volunteers of America? It’s a vague memory, but that was a good idea (for them and us!).
I try to declutter a little each day instead of doing all at once. This way I wont have to do it all at once. I find it a lot simpler by chucking at it each day.
We have a garage sales every year in our community, so this is how we get rid of the stuff we do not want. At the end of the day what ever is not sold we just give it away.
I don’t really spring clean every year. Instead, I just go on a cleaning spree at random times throughout the year LOL!
I wished it would hurry up and get here. Can’t wait to open up the windows to let the nice cool breeze in!!
I seriously have to declutter. I’m thinking of selling a bunch of stuff that we have in storage.
I don’t always do Spring cleaning, but I really need to. I think next week we will be working on some Spring Cleaning and Organizing while on Spring break.
Decluttering can be hard sometimes, especially when you’re not able to let things go. I think doing a little bit each day is a fantastic approach.
