I don't have much to say to introduce this one, other than that stories like this one make all of this crazy made-up job worthwhile. I'm so thankful for the hope I found and the hope others can find. Hi Dana, I've been mentally writing this email for the last year. :) I've known about your blog for many years and occasionally stopped by from … [Read more...]
A Donate Box Helps Create Good Habits – One Reader’s Experience
I loooooove this story. I experienced the same thing. As I worked on decluttering, my kids picked up the basics from me. I don’t always feel like I’m passing on my new, declutterer habits to my daughters. They like collections, and they treasure coloring pages from church and school. Then I walk into my bedroom and notice something in my … [Read more...]

From Our Mailbox: 93 Shirts!
I love this story. I gasped at the shirt count, but then admitted that I have probably been in exactly this situation in the past.

Finding the Family Clutter Threshold
I love this post by Molly. I'm a huge fan of figuring out cleaning and organizing strategies that work for your unique family, and that's exactly what she did!

Grasping the Container Concept When Decluttering!!! (And How it Doesn’t Mean Getting More Containers)
I absolutely love this email I received from one of you! Just a warning that the first part is totally a recommendation to grab the audio version of my book. But that is how SHE opened the letter, so it's not like it's ME trying to convince you to get it! I love hearing from people who declutter while they listen to my book … [Read more...]

A Foster Mom Gains Control Over Her Home
Dana here: I received this email a while back, and I hope it encourages you. I hear from so many people who desperately want to foster and/or adopt but are held back by the fear of a home inspection.
