Another vote here for wholesome natural foods while avoiding not only sugar but also grains, seed oils and other processed foods. I thought my diet was pretty "good" but by age 48 it clearly wasn't...

Hi!

Great question pinky toe and lots of great answers. The technology and the daycare both struck me.
Another big change is in opening hours for businesses/shops etc. People used to complain that...

I wanted to take up piano lessons again so I began teaching beginners in order to pay for my own lessons.

herbgeek, it is indeed shocking that after changing your habits presumably for the better you then see your results move in the wrong direction. The reverse happened to me - after 20 years following...

SiouzQ, you are so lucky to have a dedicated music room - and now it is clean and uncluttered too!

I too have a very oversize cabinet that holds our seldom used stereo system and have been...

Thanks for the encouragement Teacher Terry, I can see that regular decluttering will always be necessary and hope I can manage to keep on top of it. I don't mind the boomeranging much but it's a bit...

Ok, time to ramp up the decluttering again in light of today's news. Middle daughter, instead of taking away more belongings, now will probably come home to live for a few months.

This is good...

Green Mama, you are doing great. I really can't decide what my personal style is at all. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I'm sure writing it all out will have been very clarifying for you and I...

Any month is a great month to declutter. So let's go for another 100 items out of the house for the month of September.

2 jackets
1 tacky plastic "gold" trophy.

Running total: 3 items.

Now it's September 1 so I didn't quite make it 100 in August despite my roaring start. Over the weekend delivered one large box of books to daughter, which took me to 95.

But I really want to...

flowerseverywhere, I love your lifestyle. I love the way you explain that looking after your own needs frees you to serve your family and community. Brilliant.

Go Marion! You're leaving us in the dust. Today is my last chance, as we're going away for the weekend so I gotta do a few more asap.

Today I found that walking home after the gym was simpler than catching the bus. Not only did I save the waiting time, and the bus fare, but I was able to stop and do my banking on the way home.

Me too, I let go three items of clothing but I brought six back in so I daren't count those.

Hi David, welcome to simple living and to decluttering, they go hand in hand.

Hi viz vest for @$2 from the op shop.

I perhaps should not have been browsing there, given that I am trying to DEclutter at the moment, but it's just what I need for a factory site visit this...

Marion, I love this. Fantastic effort :)

Mentes, what a super project, I hope it comes out just how you want it. And it's great to have someone else with the declutter bug going on.

Greenmama, good luck with Wednesday's donating and cleaning. I cleaned my bathroom and took three items of clothing to the op shop. Unfortunately I also bought two items to bring home, sometimes...

A simple wardrobe for the spring season is my next goal. Only choosing 33 items to wear for the next three months is not proving to be a simple exercise.

My top 15 to date:
