Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #529. We are so glad you’re here and I think you will be real glad, too. Wait till you see our features and all of the amazing contributions to this week’s party. Creativity abounds!

——-

From this month’s hostess: My name is Katie from Love My Messy Messy Mess and I have been your party host for the month of April. It’s been a crazy month filled with lots of concerts at work, starting sports for my one son and elementary musical practices for the other. Sometimes I feel like I am being pulled in too many directions at once but, with the help of friends and family, I get the job done.

Let’s get to this week’s party – simply scroll down to see all the posts that have been linked up by our participating bloggers!

62 Things to Declutter That You Won’t Miss At All

I am ready to haul out the house. It really is quite simple – I need to get rid of stuff. I love a good checklist, so I thought this list of 62 Things to Declutter That You Won’t Miss At All would be a good starting point.

Keto Cookies with Nut Butter

I would not classify myself as following a strict keto diet but I do try to limit the amount of carbs I eat every day. I keep a jar of cookies on my island for a little snack and thought this recipe for Keto Cookies with Nut Butter would be a good one to try out!

Duplos Kid Storage Box – A Parent’s Dream Come True!

Leave a Comment

Ever step on a building block in the middle of the night? OUCH! It happens all the time and, when it does, it is NOT fun!

So when I saw this DUPLO storage box for kids, which doubles as a play space for them to play on, I just had to show you! Isn’t it grand? The description says that it works for intermediate sized MEGA BLOKS, too.

So, if you love that your kids enjoy building but hate finding pieces all over the house, you might want to get one (or more) of these foldable boxes to solve the problem. Grandparents and school teachers will love them, too.

The Simple Way To Keep Clutter Out Of Your House!

Leave a Comment

“But, clutter is already in my house!” Well, this new habit will keep clutter out but it also can get clutter out, if it’s in there. All you have to do is start wherever you are.

Clutter has a life of its own, doesn’t it? It grows! Before long, you cannot find your stuff. Hey, you might have places where you can’t even MOVE! Last week we talked about organizing with 5 quick steps to take control. They work so, don’t ignore them! This lesson presents a habit that, if you get serious about it, will keep clutter from piling up again.

Simple Rule = 1 item in? 2 items go out!

I just used this decluttering technique with some towels. Take a look at the frayed edges of my old towels. New ones were long overdue! I love my new, fluffy blue towels. They are luxurious.

Clutter has a life of its own ... it GROWS! #organizing #tips Share on X

Now, do I want to put those old towels back in my closet? No way.

So, I have 3 choices on what to do with them:

Keep them in the garage for rags.
Donate them to an animal shelter or veterinarians office (that’s my preference.)
Or, toss them.

If I cannot get to a donation location in the next week, I will be throwing them out. If I do not get them out of my house quickly, they will stay forever!

TIp: Dragging your heels can turn this new habit into a nice intention that never comes to pass – beware!

Have you tried the 1 in, 2 out method? How did it go? Fun, isn’t it!

Enjoy!
