Decluttering

Decluttering and Change To Comments

March 3, 2016 by SimplyBeingMum

Let's talk decluttering and change to comments guys. It's been a while since I've posted about decluttering, but it's still a subject very close to my heart. An urge to get in the groove with decluttering was one of the reasons I first started blogging back in 2010. But really decluttering can be a need to take control. I was feeling overwhelmed. Want to ...

Going Back To My Mindful Roots

April 15, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

I've always been an over-thinker and an over-analyser. Now this can be a weakness, but it can also be an asset. As with most personality attributes. From time to time I question my reason for blogging. Looking round the blogosphere there are so many blogs to read, and some of such high quality and content, that any self-aware blogger may question - why am ...

Clearing 7 Years Bad Luck

March 22, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

You may have read we're experiencing a bit of bad luck at Chez Wright. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, this post explains it. This isn't a new thing. In fact it started 18 April 2008. That'd add up to almost 7 years of bad luck, if my mental arithmetic serves me right. Now I'm thinking it's not bad karma. I've been clocking up karma points, ...

Do You Feel The Urge To Purge?

February 23, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

"When I purge, I get an endorphin rush. I feel a huge weight is lifted from me. As I remove stuff I no longer have to worry about maintaining it, finding a place to keep it or think about updating it. For every new thing I bring into my home I shed another. It’s liberating." Chris Wray. Regular readers to my blog will know that decluttering, and reducing ...

That Was Then, This Is Now

January 7, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

I've always loved baking. One of my first baking memories was making a cake for Charles and Diana's wedding in July 1981 - I was 7. It was frosted red, white and blue. Baking was a favourite rainy Sunday afternoon pastime, for me, as a child. My Mom, always keen for me to get 'hands on' would leave me to my devices, with minimal supervision. I learned a ...

Clear Your Clutter Completely

October 13, 2014 by SimplyBeingMum

"Today is your day to let go of things that no longer serve you." Katrina Mayer. We've spent a significant amount of the last two weekends, clearing the clutter at Chez Wright. Christmas is coming (there I said it) and we're decluttering in preparation of the change of seasons. But that's not the only reason. My daughter has started holding an annual ...

Organising Challenge For All – Whether Spring, Autumn Or Fall

September 30, 2014 by SimplyBeingMum

Every day I pay thanks to the internet. And social media. I believe it's a miracle. And don't even get me started on Instagram. I'm a fan. Wherever I may be, I can check out what's going on around the globe . There are the most fantastic photos in my stream. This one not quite so fantastic, but a flavour of my day today. (p.s it's not a dirty carpet - ...

A Bag A Day Keeps The Clutter At Bay

September 17, 2014 by SimplyBeingMum

It doesn't matter what size bag. It could be a bin-liner, or a small paper gift bag. What matters is that each day decluttering happens. Not as an afterthought, or as a 'might get round to'. When looking to reduce clutter, momentum is important. If overwhelmed with where to start or feeling daunted, it's unproductive to set yourself unrealistic ...

Engaging Children In Decluttering

August 5, 2014 by SimplyBeingMum

Very often it's so much easier to put things off until you have the 'time' to do them. Problem is, does that time ever appear? There's a saying that you 'make time'. Sometimes you just need to get started and the time will find itself. There's another saying - 'You are what you repeatedly do'. And I like to declutter 20 things in 20 minutes ...

Don’t Walk By

July 8, 2014 by SimplyBeingMum

Every so often the voice inside my head will replay the same few words over and over. This month it's repeating: 'Don't walk by' Fortunately I've started hearing it when the lil'-ole-procrastination-devil (nicely attired in ruby-red from head to toe) encourages me to stroll on past the laundry basket rather than grab the handles and carry it downstairs to ...
