Your dedication to decluttering and creating a more organized space is commendable. The narrative about your basement's evolution, from chaos to order, captures the essence of your commitment and the positive impact it has on your life. It's not just about decluttering; it's about embracing a mindset of giving and sharing, making the process both meaningful and enjoyable. Kudos to your accomplishments, and I look forward to following your continued adventures in decluttering!RGChttps://richmondgeneralcontractors.com/bathroom-renovations/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-14690089259630558912023-12-19T19:54:22.174-07:002023-12-19T19:54:22.174-07:00Thanks for this blogg postThanks for this blogg postDusk Networkhttps://medium.com/@DuskNetworknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-9003426766463795722023-09-14T20:52:00.919-06:002023-09-14T20:52:00.919-06:00Thanks great bloogThanks great bloogNewborn Screeninghttps://phil-newbornscreening.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-41393915540837130692018-11-13T18:43:20.678-07:002018-11-13T18:43:20.678-07:00I'm so, so happy for you Alana.

I invited a local friend along and we took turns every week or 2 helping each other (that was super helpful...far easier to let go of something my friend told me to than if it was just me making decisions!). The only bummer was not seeing you in my Uncluttered Facebook group! I'm by no means a minimalist but have made good progress in my home and garage. Thanks for your info about this and the discount code. Hoping to get another friend to join us in May!<br />MarieMMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00385969047404071484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-70727942349548994002017-10-26T12:22:36.496-06:002017-10-26T12:22:36.496-06:00Yes, Anonymous!

When my parents passed away, I spent 29 14-hour days over the span of a summer to clean out their home of 49 years, basement, and 3 sheds. My older sister, a teacher, was off for the summer but helped very very little. I had to hire people to help, arranged some remodeling, used all my vacation hours, and lost time at work. I also had to travel by plane several states away to do all of this. My parents had left a note in their estate plan that I could have a small amount of money for the work I did. My sister had the gall to ask me not to pay my self so she could get more money from the house sale! (Then she worked out a plan that was "totally fair" where I would get about $5 an hour for my work!). My sister and I get along now but man was that a challenging time in our relationship! <br /><br />So nice to read your updates, and receive your note :)<br /><br />MMarieMMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00385969047404071484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-69833023699169803052017-10-18T10:59:05.824-06:002017-10-18T10:59:05.824-06:00oh, that sucks when a family member takes advantag...oh, that sucks when a family member takes advantage.

My sister has been allowed to mistreat my mother for most of her life. But Mom has let her. For reasons I'd rather not discuss here, my mother has always been somewhat incapable of setting boundaries and sticking to them when it comes to my sister. I am doing my best to extricate my mother from other financial entanglements with her. <br /><br />It's helpful and reassuring to hear your reactions. Sometimes the frog (that'd be me) can become unsure of just how hot the water really is when he's caught up in it all.<br /><br />Good to hear about your basement Bonnie! And good luck with the garage.<br /><br /><br /><br />Alana in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440969357242099169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-90854775825031222282017-10-16T20:46:30.187-06:002017-10-16T20:46:30.187-06:00On a separate note your basement posts have inspir...On a separate note your basement posts have inspired me.I am going thru stuff I haven't seen in years and mostly tossing and a bit recycling. 5 boxes/totes have gone. Much more to do as the basement is a 24 foot square of stash and dash and left over estate items. The garage will be the next big challenge.

However, family is dear to our mothers' hearts! So if that doesn't happen, I hope you and your Mom will take care of yourselves, and cut your losses where needed for your own health. Just my two cents worth. Wishing you and your Mom all the best.
