Review: Clutter be gone
Rating: 5 out of 5

As a family of 6, I’ve noticed that we have accumulated more than our fair share of clutter. I wouldn’t call Hoarders just yet but why do I still find baby clothes around the house when our youngest is 5? It’s time for a change. I got this book because a friend of mine has a very successful time with living a minimalist lifestyle with her family and I wanted to see if it was a possibility with mine. This book gets you on the right track. The first step is getting rid of all the junk! You can’t clean clutter. If you don’t love it, get rid of it. We started the kids out on a challenge. Get rid of one item of clothing and one toy a day until you’re down to what you love. They could pass it down to a younger sibling but that sibling then had to get rid of two things. Then we donated them to a local charity service as long as it was in good repair and condition. It makes a huge difference in just a few days. I love the tips in this book. I can’t wait to see the bigger picture when we’re finally done!
