Before I show you pictures of what I decluttered on days 9 and 10, here are more details on the challenge…

So this might not look like a clean car to some of you, but I had to show you these pictures — because I am so proud of the fact that I have been keeping a clean car for a few weeks!! Jesse cleaned my car out for me a few weeks ago and I have been motivated to keep it clean!!

Yes — maybe it could use some vacuuming and scrubbing, but this is so much better than it has looked for awhile!

Day 9 Challenge: Car Cleanout Challenge

Remove trash and anything that doesn’t belong.

Vacuum and wipe down seats, consoles, and dashboards.

Stock a small bin with essentials like tissues, wipes, and hand sanitizer.

Add a small trash bag to keep it tidy going forward.

For Day 10, I cleaned up the toy room. I totally forgot to get a before picture, but I did take this cute after picture of Kierstyn and Kathrynne playing together!

Day 10 Challenge: One Stressful Spot

Pick one small-but-stressful spot (desk, pantry shelf, bookshelf, kitchen drawer).

Spend 10 minutes decluttering.

Spend the last 5 minutes tidying, wiping, and making it feel better

Thank you so much for joining me for the Decluttering Challenge! It has been SO good for me to slowly work through areas in our home and I feel like it is much cleaner and organized from the work I did these past two weeks. I hope you feel the same!
