Ive really lost control of the stuff in my house. It’s surface level tidy but every drawer and cupboard is full of stuff. There is so much I could get rid of - clothes, toys, books, things that haven’t been used in years. But it’s so overwhelming. It’s not even the thought of getting it all out, it’s getting it out and having to decide what to keep, what to bin, what to sell and so on. It feels insurmountable because literally every room (mine, kids, kitchen, living room) is the same.
I have very little free time between work and kids as well. I watch videos on social media of people in perfect small family homes that are just super organised and only seem to be full of useful stuff. Our house is quite big but that’s not necessarily a good thing because it’s more space to fill. I’ve always struggled with this sort of thing and dream of a small cosy home where everything is kept on top of and nothing is junky.
I need some tips and motivation to get going with this. Dd is unwell and just chilling on the sofa this morning so this could be a perfect time to make a start.
