30 Day Declutter Challenge - Day 28
Continuing in the bathroom, I found 3 expired medications in our cabinet.
Is your medicine cabinet safe?
30 Day Declutter Challenge - Day 27
I am sensitive to strong smells, so though most people like the smell of raspberry creme brulee, it was a bit much for me. After two lotion induced migraines, this is history.
My Precious Pennies did a great job decluttering her bathroom!

30 Day Declutter Challenge - Day 26
We got this broiler pan free with our stove. But, it was banged up in shipping. We got a new one, so now we don’t need this one. Do you have doubles or triples of anything you can let go?

I’ve given up hope now that I will find the matches to these earrings.

AUGUST DECLUTTER CHALLENGE
When it’s back to school time, I always get the urge to declutter and re-organize. This year, I’d love to have you join me and my friend Marcia , who thought the idea up.
Last week of the Challenge - Please join us!
Marcia and I will be posting at our blogs every day with what we have decluttered.
The idea is to declutter at least one item a day for the entire month . If you can’t commit to an entire month, then commit to at least 7 days of decluttering.
Then every Friday starting 8th August everyone who’s participated for the previous 7 days writes a post on their own blog with their pictures and links that post to the Mr Linky on my blog to get their entry in.
I am donating a Simplicity ecourse every week and Marcia is giving away a Household Organising File and a Christmas Planner every week. So there are 3 chances to win something clutter-free to reward you for decluttering your home.
You may only link up if you’ve done 7 days of decluttering and written a post with the 7 items. So the more you declutter, the more chances you have to win. It’s win-win-win (less clutter) whether you win a prize or not.
And then, at the end of the month, I’ll put up another Mr Linky and one person will win one of my bestselling Organise your Home ecourses.
If you don’t have a blog, you can participate by posting on our Friday posts with your 7 day accomplishments.
Let’s see how much decluttering we can get done this August! Ready to join us?

Time to clean out the fridge. I found 2 expired BBQ sauces plus spinach that needed to go and didn’t need to be photographed.
To clear out your clothing closet and to help you in future wardrobe purchases, it is helpful to know what your style is. You can take this style quiz here:

Shockingly I came out as Simple Chic 
30 Day Declutter Challenge - Day 23
More things decluttered from my daughter. She loves reptiles and amphibians. This is only part of her collection.
She is going into high school in a couple weeks and her room has been growing up as well.
Both teens have been cleaning their rooms and desks before school starts and they have less time. (At least that is what their excuse will be.)
I ran across this article on decluttering craft/scrapbooking supplies over at Ali Edwards: Scrapbooking Q & A
30 Day Declutter Challenge - Day 22

- Put the permanent link URL in the Mr Linky below so everyone can come see what you’ve decluttered.
- Marcia and I will draw 3 names over the weekend and announce the winners on Monday.
I’ve never used a recipe card file. I had a small recipe book of recipes that I made quite a mess of and a binder of recipes and menus. Now all my recipes go onto Big Oven.
I hired my son to type in the recipes. And I found most of the recipes were online already, so I had him copy and paste many of the recipes.
I definitely don’t need these recipe cards.
30 Day Declutter Challenge - Day 21
I was given this planner. However it is too small for me. I need a full page per day to schedule all the different parts of my life. This planner only held weekly pages.
And with online to do organizers like Remember the Milk with phone reminders, I don’t need paper planners.
