As a fun little bit of bonus content, I thought I’d start tracking the items I declutter each month just to update you on my continued minimalism journey and our progress in settling into our new home.
A lot of the items decluttered this month are the result of unpacking old boxes that were in storage and finally being able to get categories of items into one space to actually see what we had.
I hope this post is fun for you to peruse or that it inspires you to declutter something from your own space!
Note: this list is transcribed from my phone in the order that I decluttered these items throughout the month—these items were either thrown out, donated, or properly disposed of.
Here’s the list of what I decluttered this month:
- An old expired lipstick
- 3 bags of clothes (for a clothing swap)
- 2 old pillowcases
- A pair of oven mitts
- A storage basket that had broken
- 2 broken kid’s toys
- 2 pairs of shoes that no longer fit
- A keychain accessory
- A wire storage bin
- Twist ties
- Crafting pom poms
- Old candle lid
- Magnet
- Old medications
- Facial oil
- Coffee mug
- Muffin tin
- Expired foundation
- 8 baby washcloths
- 5 burp cloths
- 5 broken plant pots
- 3 broken metal plant tags
- 4 old torn-up dog toys
- 6 broken garden solar lights
- 2 sets of vanity hardware
- 3 vanity manuals
- 2 storage bins
- Hair elastics
- Old toothbrush
- Travel-sized toiletries that we haven’t used in years
Total items decluttered this month: 131 items!
Wow! Keeping track of everything we’ve decluttered this month has really reinforced just how much is sitting around our house that we don’t need! And getting rid of them has truly lightened my mental load.
Thanks for coming along on the journey as I continue to simplify our home and make it a more peaceful and joyful place to be!
