Good luck on your declutter!!!
I am making fruit wine. Right now I am starting Orange wine because my Naval tree is ripe. The next thing I will be making is Strawberry since they are coming into season soon.!!

Can I join? I really need to get this house organized. We have way too much stuff. Our neighborhood has an annual garage sale in May so hopefully I can get through everything by than.

My goal for February is 500 items. I'm also doing the kitchen challenge and I'm hoping to get our den organized.

My goal for February is 350, which is a little more than I think I can do, but I want to challenge myself. I HOPE I will do more!!!

I met my Jan goal of 200 today! Woot!

My February goal is 300 items. I can't see progress in my home yet, but knowing that I'm 200 items lighter is great motivation for February! That'll be 500 items!

I don't have a specific spot I'm going for. Just all-around.

Glad to journey with you all!

I made Jan's goal, so I'm in for Feb!

Hmmm... I think I'll make my goal the same: 200.

Still got that morning (eh-hem... more like all-day) sickness going on. It's been slowing me down some.

I didn't make my January total, so I am in for February. My goal will be 300. Hopefully I will make this one. I am having a really hard time letting go of my girls' clothes. I don't think we will have another baby so I don't really have a reason to hold on to the clothes. Also, I don't know what to do with the toys they no longer play with. They are in good condition, so I think it is a waste to just toss them.

Let's see...I met my goal of 300 for Jan. but I'm not sure if I could do that again....I'm going to shoot for 150 items this month. I will be excited when the stuff in my apartment is completely under control.

I did not make my goal for January, but I got about 2/3 of it. So I am definitely in for this month. I think I'll set myself a goal of 200 items for this month. For this month, I am going to set myself a separate goal for updating my financial records, reviewing our status, goal setting with DH and getting our taxes done. I have been counting 1 hour as 1 item decluttered, but I think I'd like to set myself a separate goal this month. This represents a lot of mental and emotional clutter to be removed. I did about 8 hours in January, but will need to step it up in order to get everything done in February. I'm going to set it for 14 hours -- that is only 1/2 hour per day.


In summary: 200 items gone and 14 hours on financial paperwork.

ok i'm in. i've been thinking today about what kind of goal to set. i'd like to clear a lot of stuff out of me e-bay closet. i have a drum set i'm selling. we have an extra tv thats just taking up space. friends have left their junk over here. i still have my garage and thekids'room to do.

i think i'll start slow though and see how it goes. i'll say 25.

my mom was just amazed when i told her i'd gotten rid of 45 boxes worth in jan.

I'm in! I'm new, so it's my first month ... will aim for 250 items. This will give me a good idea on where I stand with my progress with two young kids at home.

How do you all mamas do it with young kids (especially newborns) while we dig through our junk???

Im in, my goal this month is 531 since thats the number that was left over from last month. I was able to get rid of 469 last month which I think is pretty good for my first challenge!!

I'm in!

Last month I did 177/200. Since this month is shorter, I was tempted to lower my goal, however, we are having overnight guests in March and I want the house to look better!

So: 200 for Feb as well!!

a few minutes at a time and babywearing, but my baby is four months old. with a newborn, i dont do much. sometimes when i put away clothes i just look for a shirt in the drawar that i never wear and toss it. more room for my other clothes.

I'm in for 500 this month. Didn't do much in December or January, but I am all set to go this month. I figure getting rid of stuff will help me stop bringing new stuff in.
