I use shredded paper for my worm bins. So far I’ve gotten rid of 44 items. Long ways to go but slow and steady wins the race, right?

I have used shredded paper as mulch! It’s great for keeping weeds down. I put down the paper and then shred a brown paper sack or some cardboard for the top to cover the other colors of paper. But if your using it in a vegetable garden you have to be careful not to use items that may have toxins in them.

Yay for 2 big boxes leaving!! And I definitely think going through paperwork & shredding is definitely decluttering…I hate doing that!!

I’m starting little by little to declutter but this month I’m working on eBay inventory. The major declutter will probably start in April (spring).

My total for January was 53!!! YEAH!!!! I have been working on “purposeful” dejunking instead of tossing things to Goodwill. It’s been fun trying to think of who can use our “extras” To make it simple I write my total for the day on my calendar. This month we got rid of:
cookbooks
tons of kids clothes
Christian Fiction
Momma clothes that were too snug BEFORE I got pregnant again
Papers, papers and more papers…. (but I forgot to count them)

Thanks for this motivation!!!!!!!!
