How We Decluttered to Move Across the Country!

We decluttered, downsized, and got rid of most of our belongings! In preparation for our move across the country, our family of three embarked on a massive decluttering and downsizing process! I share how we decluttered and downsized - the steps we took, my top tips, helpful resources, and how we had fun along the way! It was a lot of work, but it was so worthwhile to examine and evaluate what we owned and why. We were able to condense our belongings significantly and only keep items we loved or that added value to our lives in some way.
As always, do what works for you! Take whatever resonates with you and leave the rest behind. Let me know your top decluttering tips in the comments section below! I would love to hear what has worked for you! 😁

What is your favourite tip for decluttering and tidying up? 🤔 I think finding ways to make decluttering FUN reduced overwhelm and made the whole process go MUCH more smoothly!👍

Thank you so much Eliana! 😊

[@LindaR423]

You've given me inspiration to continue on my quest to downsize/declutter. I'm not moving or anything but I have found that having too many things around seems to clutter my mind these days. It's been a gradual process over the past 3 years. As you can see I'm taking my good sweet time, LOL. I just need to complete the process and get it over with. Thanks for this video, Meg.

[@PlantFitMeg]

Yay! I'm glad I could inspire you to continue on your decluttering and downsizing adventures! It's so true that having a cluttered space can clutter your mind too. Good luck with tidying up your space! 👍😊

Hi Meg - this was a good message on how to declutter - a very hard task - I like your gentle method of letting things go.

[@PlantFitMeg]

Thanks so much Betty! It was a big job, but it was well worth letting things go in order to make our move and have more space in our new place.

[@katherine2777]

Bet you got quite a surprise in Vanc. this year weatherwise

[@PlantFitMeg]

Haha! Ya, we had a big dumping of snow, but it didn't last long. I think we're back to the typical winter weather here now. 😊
