July 24, 2017      2 Comments

24 Hours in the Canadian Badlands

My husband and I made a deal when we got married: we would not give each other tangible anniversary gifts. Neither of us is particularly traditional and we decided that we’d rather not buy (or receive) paper, clocks, jewelry, appliances, etc. or whatever else it is that society says people should ...

What minimalists REALLY want for their birthdays

What Minimalists REALLY want for their birthdays

I’m often compared to Rachel in Friends. Not because I look like Jennifer Aniston (oh, how I wish), but because Rachel is known for returning every gift she gets. In one episode, Rachel gets a board game from Chandler and immediately hands it back to him. She returns a gold necklace given to her by ...

How to Declutter & Organize Your Computer Files

In preparation for this blog, I have been attempting to clean my digital spaces, notably the files on my computer. And let me tell you, digital decluttering is easier said than done. I highly recommend not letting them get horribly cluttered and messy in the first place, however this is not always ...

So. Much. Random. Stuff. Ready? Okay here we go: - a pampers swag bag

-a couple belts
-dog booties I made that just don’t work
- a couple books
- a dog toy my dogs couldn’t care less about
- a sun hat for my one dog (it works about as well as you can picture a hat for a dog working)

- a Christmas ornament I found under my couch that I would rather get rid of than take to my Christmas storage
- more baby things (sorry)
- some of my husband’s old shirts
- a duvet cover that shrunk and no longer fits our bed

M I N S G A M E : D A Y 1 3 The world has gone M I N S  G A M E :  D A Y  1 3

The world has gone a bit mad and I missed yesterday again.

Question for y’all: It feels weird that I’m trying to find things to get rid of while the rest of the world seems to be stocking up or hoarding. Should I put the pause button on playing the Mins Game while all of this is going on or is this a good distraction from it? I also don’t want to appear insensitive for getting rid of things. Let me know your thoughts please!

Day 13 is comprised of a bunch of random things from expired vitamins/medications to unused craft supplies to old photographs and CDs!

M I N S G A M E : D A Y 2 0 Oh look who forgot M I N S  G A M E :  D A Y  2 0

Oh look who forgot to post again yesterday 🙄

Not like y’all missed much... just more baby clothes!

M I N S G A M E : D A Y 1 9 MORE baby clothes. M I N S  G A M E :  D A Y  1 9

MORE baby clothes.

I was given so many clothing gifts and hand-me-downs for Ava. I am SO appreciative because I have bought a total of 3 clothing items for her so far and it’s saved me a ton of money. (But seriously do people actually buy brand new wardrobes for babies? It seems like a huge waste of money since most pieces are worn like 3 times MAX). Now it’s time for me to pass all these clothes on to another new arrival. 
I wonder what I’ll find tomorrow to get rid of?

Hint: probably the same thing as today.

M I N S G A M E : D A Y 2 9 I’m a little lat M I N S  G A M E :  D A Y  2 9

I’m a little late posting again because I was up till 1:00 AM trying to find things to get rid of. I refuse to fail this challenge!

Today’s items include:
-several crappy drawings and “sketchbooks” from my childhood
-2 CD “mixtapes” (one a friend made for me in grade 9 and I made the other when I got my first car and needed some bumping tunes to drive to!)
-15 greeting cards that don’t really have any sentimental value or anything of importance written in them
-expired vitamin C
-2 more guitar pickups from Scott’s studio
-a board games catalogue
-old air mask filters
-curtain rod holders (the actual curtain rod is MIA)
-a box filled with @thepathlesstraveledband’s first album. They got several hundred CDs made in 2014, right when CDs were just starting to become popular! 🙄

Only 1 more day and 30 more items! I WILL PREVAIL! (I hope... 🤞) #minsgame #minimalismgame #minimalism #minimalist #declutter #declutteryourlife #decluttering #declutterchallenge #declutteryourhome #declutterlikeamother #declutteringmylife #cleaning #cleaningmotivation #cleaninghouse #springcleaning #tokenandbliss
