I participated last year here on KZbin. Here's the playlist if you want to check it out:

___________________________________
As a #catholic #catholicmom I honor Jesus’ time in the desert by being more intentional with my own time during the 40days leading to Easter known as #lent
I encourage my kids to sacrifice something that they’ll miss (like a favorite treat or soda), do something extra that requires thought and attention, or incorporate more prayer time or intentionally “unplug” [especially] during Lent.
For me, doing the #40bags40days challenge during Lent is a reminder to me that we can live simpler and many of the items I declutter will be donated so as to bless someone else.
Decluttering and cleaning my home is something I take pride in but, as many things do, decluttering gets put off and things get shoved/hidden in places where they take up residence….and they don’t live there! 😆 This challenge is something I found a few years ago from @whitehouseblackshutters and she created it as a way to connect with and support other people looking to declutter and live with less. It doesn't have to take place during Lent, and in fact, will most likely [and should], continue on after Easter.
I’ll be documenting my progress HERE on my #youtubechannel and on #instagram again this year.
I’d love for you to join in as well.
I’ve created a #blogpost that includes a larger image of the 40bags image so you can print it and check off the bags as you go. 🤓✅ #linkinbio
Comment below if you’ll join in and tag me in your progress pics on instagram!

I did this years ago and, once I got going, realized how quickly the “bags” add up when things are taken out of their homes. I started out thinking that I couldn’t get rid of 40 bags, but i easily reached that number - large items, clothing, books, and old papers made the task quite easy!

[@TheSilverLining22]

Yes! I agree-I’m making progress, and it does slow down toward the end but I just love the feeling of having this stuff out and potentially blessing someone else!
