Now that I have a house of my own, I’ve been trying to keep it clean and as junk-free as possible. I’ve been slowly getting rid of old clothes I haven’t worn in awhile, but it’s definitely a big process after moving all of my stuff in.
I got coffee with my sweet friend Melody yesterday, and she suggested doing something called the “30-Day Minimalism Game.” I was intrigued when she told me the very simple concept: get rid of one thing on the first day, two things on the second, three on the third, all the way up until you reach 30 days. By the end of the challenge — if you can actually complete it — you will have gotten rid of hundreds of things.
In all honesty I don’t think I can make it to day 30 because I really don’t think we have that much junk in our house, but I’m really curious to try and see how far I get. Go give my Instagram account a follow if you want ton see what I get rid of every day, and want a chance to take some of my stuff off my hands. I’ll be donating most of it to Purple Heart or The Salvation Army, but I’m always happy for a friend to get something they need, too!
Here’s to decluttering my house and making some extra room for the things I actually use and to breathe. Day 1: Finally throwing out my old Brooks tennies!

I need to tell my other half about this – we could EASILY do this, and blog about it 🙂 Our house is filled with junk from the kids growing up. We could do the higher numbered days with childrens clothes (currently in bags in the attic)…

I need to do this. I’ll be moving in March. It’ll be nice to get rid of some of the junk that we don’t need before we start having to pack.

Ahhh how exciting!! I hope you blog about your move. 🙂 It would be a good time for you to do the challenge since you’re more than 30 days out. Let me know how far you get if you do do it!
