Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Happy Tuesday! Today we are going to pick 1 kitchen cabinet to declutter for 15 minutes. You can make this a game and involve your children. I am the short one in my house for the most part, so my taller boys will hand me things from the top of my kitchen cabinets. Sometimes we find things that I put up there when I got married 26 years ago. We have a good laugh out of that, and then the item generally ends up in the give away box. There are a few things that I have held on to for sentimental reasons, but for the most part, if I have not used it in 26 years, it is likely that I am not going to use it now.
Zone Mission: Declutter One Kitchen Cabinet
