AROUND THE HOUSE DECLUTTER + decluttering books I've read
Decluttering doesn't have to be a session. We can declutter as we go through the day.
***
You can also find my decluttering poems on MY POETRY CHANNEL:

Today's poem: no poem today
I'll be posting new poems on that channel, as well as old poems (when I can).

Join me as I continue clearing the clutter from my home. We can do it together.
Like. Subscribe. Leave a comment. I'd love to hear your decluttering stories.
And stick around to the end for another decluttering poem.
😊HAPPY DECLUTTERING!!!

Hi! Thanks for watching! 😘💕 What did you declutter today? Do you declutter books once you read them?

@@skyiscrying Thanks! 🤗💕 Yes, I do! I'm giving Randy some time to adjust to and enjoy retirement before I ask him to help me move some things, etc. I want to do some rearranging. I don't want to start honey-doing him yet, though. 🫣😜I figure he deserves a little "vacation" time first. I remember how it was when I first quit working. 💞
Hey, Melinda (and Randy). Nice little de-clutter. So cute that you are giving Randy a bit of time to be retired before putting him to work LOL. I am looking forward to the continuation of the garage de-clutter.

Great declutter of your books! I also enjoyed going through what books you have read. I used to read so much when I was younger. I wish I can get back into it again. Life has got me wrapped up with time. 😀

My church is having a huge rummage sale in three weeks so I've been going through things as I think about it and dropping it off as I get a bag or box. So far I've resisted bringing anything home except some puzzles, which I returned as soon as I completed them.

This is a nice surprise video and would have been a perfect addition to the collab that Organized With Joy hosts! My partner made a dump run today and got rid of whatever mess he has going on in his garage plus a bunch of unwanted paint and toxic cleaners. Now that my daughter and her bunny are living here, I won't be using anything like oven cleaner, floor cleaner, and bleach that could be harmful to him and all of us, really.

@@jennyjenkins877 😂 I love it! Back in 2006, one of our cats had kittens. The neighbor kid wanted one. She picked out names: Bella or Mitch. When I figured out her parents weren't going to let her have the kitten and I would be keeping it, I convinced her Bella would work for a boy or a girl. (I didn't want to name it Mitch if I was keeping it.) I was glad she agreed because the kitten turned out to be a boy. Bella was a sweet kitty.

Hey Melinda! It’s great to see you again! Yesterday, on a whim, I cleared off and dusted the top of my tall dresser that was well over due. I kept a lot of items off of it and now it looks much better. Today, I went to Michael’s to get a 16x20 inch frame for a picture I had on an easel on the dresser and now I can hang it on the wall. The new frame is perfect! ❤😊

still in recovery stage here! Was able to hang out some laundry, since a good hot drying day. left overs from the weekend will last us a few days. In the nineties here, with a big fire of 500+ acres and growing. I. Have items to drop off but cannot drive yet.

@@dianasimplifies Yeah, it is supposed to dissipate...IN 40 DAYS! 😂😂😂 I didn't realize it was wet and wasn't thinking about it when I put it in my purse. 🤦 By the time I realized, it was too late. Everything smelled like cologne. Strong, stinky cologne. Lol. I had to air out the things I couldn't toss. Money. Insurance cards. Everything. I didn't want to put that stuff into my replacement purse. 😂😂😂 The little change purse still smells or I would still use it. It's gotta go. Luckily, the purse was already showing wear. I checked, the smell is finally gone from the purse. It was in plastic in an envelope. I put it back in the envelope, but not in the plastic. If I'd put it back in the plastic, it wouldn't have caused a problem. 😂😂😂
