Our youngest daughter moves this week for her new job!
And our home is getting lighter.
This room is getting filled with the packed boxes and furniture she is taking with her, so we can do quick work to fill the trailer after we pick it up.

More decorating going on here!
I put out our nativity today. Earlier in the month I was going to keep it simple with the wreath on the front door and the main tree up. But then I decided to get the stockings out, which took mere minutes to put up. My husband noticed the add on and seemed please to find a new decoration up!
He's been out of town this week, so I thought it would be fun to get out the nativity. I'm sure he will notice this too and be pleased. This task didn't take long...although it would have taken less time if I hadn't dropped the donkey and had to glue two of his legs back on!
I don't regret the decluttering, but just noticed that the focus was not where I intended to be this month.I had the idea of one item a day, which had my mind figuring what I could pull each day. I can come up with multiple items in a day, it's unnecessary to play the daily game. I think during this holiday season, that is an unnecessary stress. So yes, if something comes to mind or I see it, I'll take action. But I'm letting the idea of decluttering one item a day go.
November! A clean slate. A new page. A new season. Time to create focus for the month.
I was going to make one long post wrapping up October, but it was getting a little long! So let's just talk about my success in decluttering this month here.
I've done some review of small areas primarily in the last week of October. Tweaking many of the areas I took care of earlier this year when I did 40 Days of Decluttering.
Below is what I decluttered from my laundry cabinet. It was overflowing with microfiber cloths...I let the oldest ones go. I moved the t shirt rags to the paint supply bin in the garage, since that is the only time I use those. I relocated the glass and recycled the box.
