How did I accumulate so much crap?! I'm glad we're looking at buying a bigger house because the starter home we bought (even though we've only been in it 5 years) we have outgrown officially! I am smothered by all of our stuff!! I wouldn't know where to start uncluttering 😥 I need to learn how to be a minimalist!!! Like yesterday! Any tips from any minimalist mom's out there??

If you haven’t used it in a year or more get rid of it. If you haven’t worn it in a year get rid of it

If it's not important paper work, gonna help you live or survive daily, haven't worn something within months... Throw it out

I’m a huge minimalist. I hate clutter & everything in my house has to have a place.
It’s all about finding ways to store or display things you actually use & want to keep & getting rid of everything else. If you don’t use it, don’t keep it. If you find it hard to part with things because of sentimental value, then store them but put definite limits on how much you store. I’m talking like one container/box for memories and everything else has to go.
A lot of times we think things have sentimental value just because we’ve had them for so long but they are otherwise not very important to us. Deciding what those things are & getting rid of them helps so much with clutter.
Also paperwork/mail can really pile up. Using a filing system really helps. If it’s not important enough to file, throw it away as soon as you’ve read it.

@olivbee Thank you!! That really helps. Alot of my problem actually is the sentimental stuff and things I'm like "but I might need this one day" or "I might wear this one day" 😂 it's so bad. I have SO MANY CLOTHES. Clothes and my daughters toys are what have me overwhelmed the most.
