Yes. This is my party of life and I am here to party.
Unf*cking via decluttering is 100% a party and I really want to party all spring break!
I didnāt throw away the shirts with holes yet. But I did make this mood board to inspire me to (/procrastinate from) unfucking my house?
Itās actually my house and most of the pictures I took this morning. Itās my favorite bits with the clutter well and truly cropped out.
Now to actually crop the clutter IRLā¦
You have gorgeous style.
That is a great idea!
Loooove this. And your house.
This is my actual living room at the moment
I hope to meet in the middle of the aspirational and current reality.
That is a really excellent idea and I will copy it. Your house is delightful even with the mess.
Today Iām mostly recovered from a cold and Ponderās not working, so we can take turns on kid duty. Iām doing 20/10s (wellā¦ 10/10s) to clean up and catch up on Life Admin. I have taken out the rubbish. Next is putting away everything thatās already clean.
Make that 10/20s. Guess what: itās still making progress!
I told Duckling we are cleaning today, but he gets to pick X or Y. He picked unloading the dishwasher, and we did it after his episode and then he went back to TV. Winning!
I started working on my dream of the last 10 monthsā¦ deep cleaning the fridge. The past owners remodeled the kitchen in the early 2000s, and I would bet that it hadnāt been cleaned since then.
Iām a wildcard so I did the bottom half first. Picture under the cut for the VERY GROSS before pic. I took out the drawers to clean them, and had no idea it was so bad back there! Iāve cleaned the bottom half and the drawers and shelves that are there normally.
Also, for my fellow Dana K White fans, has anyone listened to episode 324 of her podcast? It was a really interesting episode. The husband reminds me a lot of my wife, minus the complicated MIL situation (which is a big minus).
I took out the compost bin, and htbf did a mini fridge clear out. Now Iām motivated to do a full fridge sweep, but no way am I looking at Bernadetteās before photo.
Ooh, yāknow I love her books but havenāt actually listened to the podcast. Maybe I will.
Ew. Not actually as bad as I thought it would be. Hmmmm I need to deep clean our kitchenā¦
I am pleased with myself because I did all of the FlyLady missions this week! I had no idea how much stuff I had in my bathroom drawers that I donāt need or use.
I lightly unfucked the kid hauler car! Receipts removed, worst areas vacuumed (car seats are so gross and she barely even ever snacks in hers, just long road trips when someone rides back with her), extra items removed, snack items consolidated into one bag. It was a beautiful day so I was happy for extra outside time.
And, after pic! When we put the drawers back, we realized the last owner had put them in the wrong spots. We rearranged things and now we have a produce drawer that doesnāt stick when you open it, a miracle.
I want to keep working on the top, sides, and outside.
That looks so lovely and fresh
