Before birthdays or Christmas, we purge toys because I already know more are coming in. My kids have a set amount of space for toys, and once it’s full, they have to decide what they’re willing to exchange for something new. We don’t rotate toys, and they’re only allowed one large toy at a time. It’s okay for kids to get bored—they can draw, read, use their imagination or go outside. My house does not need to become one giant toy box. 😂

11 years married and we don’t buy each other gifts. Not because we don’t celebrate each other—we just realized we’d rather spend that money making memories together. If I want something, I’ll buy it. If he wants something, he’ll buy it. No pressure to find the “perfect” anniversary, birthday, Christmas, or Valentine’s gift just because the calendar says we should. Give me a trip, an experience, or a day together over another thing in the house any day. 😂❤️ It might not work for everyone, but it works for us. Happy 11 years to us!

A linen closet doesn’t have to hold ONLY linens. 🙌 Give everything a category, keep what you use most within easy reach, put less-used items up high or down low, and don’t buy a container for something that already stacks perfectly fine on its own. The goal isn’t more bins—it’s making the space make sense for your family.

These little magnetic remote holders are one of those “why didn’t I buy these sooner?” organizing finds. 😂

I showed all the different ways I use them because remotes are definitely not the only thing they’re good for. Anything small that constantly gets lost, left on the counter, or never has a real home? Give it a home.

Small fix, less clutter, less searching. 🙌

Here’s a decluttering question that makes decisions WAY easier:

If you lost everything you owned tomorrow… would you buy this again?

Not eventually. Would you spend your money replacing it within the first six months?

Because some of the stuff we’re protecting with our lives, we wouldn’t spend $5 to replace.

Obviously sentimental items are different. But for everyday stuff—clothes, kitchen gadgets, random household items—it’s a really good reality check.

If it disappeared and you wouldn’t miss it, wouldn’t look for it, and wouldn’t rebuy it… why is it taking up space in your house?

I was tired of looking at my scale sitting on the bathroom floor every single day. 😂

I still wanted to keep it, I just didn’t want it to be part of the decor.

So I found this little wall holder and put it behind the door. Now it has a home, it’s easy to grab when I need it, and I don’t have to stare at it.

Sometimes organizing isn’t about getting rid of something—it’s just about finding a better place for it.

I bought this hanger spacing tape because I love the way a closet looks when everything is evenly spaced.

But here’s the catch… 😂 you have to get rid of a LOT of clothes to actually have room to space your hangers like this.

And honestly, you don’t even need to buy this. You can literally just put a finger between each hanger and it does basically the same thing.

Do I still like the tape? Yes. 😂
Do you need it? Absolutely not.

But if you’ve already decluttered your closet and you want it to look nice and evenly spaced, it’s pretty satisfying. If you decide to go this route..I wish you the best in your decluttering phase. 😂 Let me know how many shirts you have down below! Curious what everyone has. (Don’t forget if you have clothes in laundry!)

You’re scared of temporary overwhelm, so you keep choosing permanent overwhelm.

You don’t want to pull everything out of the closet because it’ll be a mess. You don’t want to tackle the room because you know it’ll look worse before it looks better.

So you avoid it—and then that space overwhelms you every single day.

Let it get messy. Make the decisions. And once you decide something is leaving, get it out of your house as soon as possible. Don’t let your donation pile become a new form of clutter.

A few hours of chaos can be worth finally getting your space back.

If you keep choosing one over the other, you already made the decision. You just haven’t gotten rid of the other one yet.

We do this all over our homes. Two shirts that serve the same purpose. Two can openers. The pretty plates and the ones we actually use. Multiple things doing the same job because we can think of a reason we might need each one.

Force the decision.

Which one do you actually reach for?

Keep the winner. Let the other one go.

Buy right the first time doesn’t mean buy the most expensive thing.

I’ll spend more on something I use constantly and expect to last for years. But something temporary, trendy, rarely used, or that I’m just trying out? I’m spending less—or nothing.

And if I can’t afford the version I actually want yet, I’d rather use what I have, borrow it, check Buy Nothing/Freecycle, find it free on Marketplace, or wait and save.

A $40 pair of boots you replace over and over can eventually cost more than the $120 pair that lasts for years.

Sometimes the cheapest option is the one you only have to buy once.
