The holidays are just around the corner, and there’s no better time to create a peaceful, clutter-free home. A little decluttering can go a long way in reducing stress and making room for the joy of the season. That’s why I’m inviting you to join my 5-Day Simple Declutter Before the Holidays Challenge!

This quick and simple challenge is designed to help busy moms like you tackle the most clutter-prone areas of your home in just 20 minutes a day. By the end of the week, you’ll feel lighter, more organized, and ready to welcome the holidays with open arms.

How It Works

Each day, we’ll focus on one area of your home. Set a timer for 20 minutes, grab a donation box or trash bag, and get to work! Remember, the goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress.

Day 1: Entryway

Your entryway sets the tone for your home. Spend 20 minutes:

• Clearing out shoes, coats, and bags that don’t belong.

• Adding a basket for daily essentials like gloves and scarves.

• Creating a space for holiday guests to leave their belongings.

A tidy entryway will welcome you and your visitors with a warm, clutter-free vibe.
