This 20 item challenge really makes it less overwhelming to start! Thank you!

I literally got up from bed watching this video to do this challenge. I love that you were so matter-of-fact and trying to find those little things to remove!! So awesome!!

In the last week I’ve taken two trunk loads to the thrift store. Feels so good to declutter!

Amazing!!! It feels so good!

Another use for old dish cloths and towels etc is to donate to an animal shelter or clinic/hospital. They use the towels in the kennels and go through them a lot for cleaning up after the animals. I've been doing it for years!

Every time you mention your everything journal, it makes me CRAVE a flip through!

Working on 20 items in 10 minutes! Thanks for the inspiration! I must admit that I made a bigger mess trying to declutter😱

Your hair looked short tucked into your sweatshirt and it was so cute!!

Yeah and she could still do a mini ponytail with that length. Having her hair up is also so pretty on her.

I love it long ☀️

I appreciate hearing your thought process!

I am going to do this tonight! Thanks for the inspiration and for showing how simple it can be to declutter.

We have a clothes basket for each of our kids that lives at the end of their beds (Ages 5-10) and they can take their baskets and wash and dry their own clothes. It saves time sorting clothes and it's a good way to encourage our kids to be independent. We also have a towel basket in the bathroom and a basket in our room to share. It may add money for extra laundry tablets and water use but the system works so much better for us.

This is great well done Margaret. I’m struggling so much atm because where I live no donation places are actually taking anything 😩 it’s such a nightmare.

Yay! LOVE your decluttering vids.

Love hearing that, friend. happy Friday.

I like so much your style 🙏💖💖💖 Thank you a lot for this motivation 🌺🌺🌺

GREAT VIDEO!! Really motivating! Also your new place looks super nice! Love you and your channel! 👍🙏🌻💛🌻

If you have excess pens, call your local hospital or Nursing homes’ Nursing stations and ask if they would like them. As someone who works in Healthcare - pens grow feet and walk away, we are always looking for a pen to use!

I have taken extra pens and supplies to my office😅 but I love this! This would honestly a productive fun little activity to do on the weekend☺️ I love decluttering so for me it’s def a fun activity. Also! One of my favorite memories was gathering two boxes worth of books I had and donating them to my local library. The librarians were so happy for the donation💕

I like I should make a video decluttering 20 items every day,!!! soooo much stuff that needs to go. Just been throwing stuff in the trash everyday since I started watching your channel

20 items out of my closet today lol thank you

Shooting for 20 today...tY for the challenge, friend! 😊

Absolutely. Happy decluttering!

Just took two boxes to goodwill yesterday and a big bin full of out-grown clothes of my youngest (almost ten) to consignment. I wish I could get my husband to get rid of more stuff! Lol! He is a xbox gamer and tech person. He also still has chemistry books from college (he's a chemist). He keeps saying they may come in handy while our boys are in school.....

Diluted washing up liquid can replace the bubble solution.

A little late but you asked if some of us have ever given pens away and I have! I asked people around me if they wanted them and my artist sister and they gladly took what they needed. I was happy, they were happy and it was a tiny little clutter free area of my life that felt much better afterwards.

Would it be a good idea to save the towel with blue spots as part of your emergency sick kit?

I also keep 2-3 old towels for when it's wet and muddy out. I can throw that down at the door for when my children come back in from playing outside to avoid getting the floor too dirty.

If it is tomato stains on your wash cloths just keep them in the sun for a couple of hours and they will be just as new🥰

Omg thank you!!! Didn't know!

I could declutter 20 Items out of the fridge alone I Just buy too much stuff i end Up not eating I really have to Work on that

🖐🏼🙂

If you have a free Facebook group for your community you can post there! I figure if I plan to donate I might as well give them away to someone who needs it and will use it vs sit at a donation place and possibly thrown away!

Your countertops are beautiful but I'm not sure they're actual granite you better make sure before we set something hot down on it because it looks like it might be made out of something besides granite but they're beautiful countertops you don't want to ruin them I love to watch your videos thank you

How can Olaf be decluttered?... :-0

@@margaretmatheny yes it can change the color or if the counter top is cold and the pan is hot then it could potentially crack either the counter top or your pan.
