Decluttering: 6 Lessons learned from (bitter) experience

As I mentioned in a previous post, I started my room-by-room decluttering offensive this month. After many years of going through this exercise there are lots of tips I have picked up along the way that can help to minimise the angst.

Decluttered house, decluttered head.

I've been busy! I decided that as soon as the kids returned to school after the Christmas holidays I would commence a massive tidying and decluttering offensive. In my personal experience a decluttered house always, always leads to a decluttered head!

ABOUT

Maflingo [Flamingo, to grown-ups who can pronounce it] is a lifestyle blog, borne out of my desire to be creative and pursue my passion for writing after more than twenty years in an non-creative profession.

I have so many words to share about: interiors; money-saving; decluttering; organising; DIY; family life and randomness.

Hopefully there will be at least one person out there who wants to hear what I have to say, (Thanks, Mum!).

Enjoy your visit and feel free to get in touch...

I love to chat!
