The Art of Decluttering

Latest Episodes:

Christmas Functions Dec 09, 2018

Show notes

This Christmas season, we are practising what we preach and making this season a bit slower for us by revisiting last years episodes as we had such a great response to them last year. The great thing about re-listening to podcasts is that you'll take away different tips and you'll learn things you don't even remember hearing last time. So as you prepare for the Christmas season this year, we hope it is one of peace, love, feeling organised and being inspired to declutter.

Do you love hosting Christmas functions and being generous with your time, money and home? Or do you feel overwhelmed at the idea of inviting others to your home to celebrate?

Here is another episode where you can laugh at and with Amy and Kirsty, where they share their tips and tricks for decluttering your Christmas functions and give great ideas on how to host, cater, serve and clean up all things Christmasy. We hope you enjoy it!

Homeschooling Nov 11, 2018

Show notes

This week we chat to Narelle and absolute amazing woman who homeschools 5 out of her 6 kids (#6 is too young still) and gives us some amazing #parentingtips! Even if you have no interest in homeschooling, if you're a parent, you will find some incredible tips in this episode on how to do self care and also teaching your kids how to do chores around the home. If you are a homeschooling family Narelle shares her unique experience and we are sure you'll enjoy this conversation as much as we did. We both end the episode with #girlcrushes and #parentingcrushes on Narelle and we are sure you will too! Narelle is incredible in how honest she is about being a parent and juggling being pregnant, breastfeeding and teaching her kids. As always we hope you have a giggle with us and enjoy the conversation!

Big shout out to Mackenzie and Amelia some of our youngest engaged listeners!

Thanks also to our very many homeschooling listeners for the episode request.

Unfinished Projects Nov 04, 2018

Show notes

This week we chat about our Unfinished Projects! What have you started but left unfinished? Do you have feelings of guilt or shame over that project? Is it is a craft project or a home reno project or have you just not got round to hanging up pictures in your new home? Our heart for you is to either complete the project or lovingly let go of it. Kirsty and Amy get open, honest and vulnerable as they share some of their projects that they have left unfinished and they coach each other in ways to move forward. As always we hope you have a giggle with us and enjoy the conversation!

Bedside Tables Oct 28, 2018

Show notes

This week we chat about our Bedside Tables! Do you even have a bedside table? Does your bedside table have drawers or is it open shelves? What lives on the top of your bedside table and what lives in the drawers? What random things have found their way into your bedside table? We laugh a lot about having water on our bedside table and the need to go to the toilet in the middle of the night! We also have a few 80's references for you to reminisce with us over. We chat about kids bedside drawers and hint at the stuff we might keep in our bedside drawer that would be embarrassing if your kids pulled out in front of friends. As always we hope you have a giggle with us and enjoy the conversation!

Thanks to Catherine Midwood for the requesting this weeks topic. Thanks to Nathan & Nicki for the iTunes review!

Makeup Oct 14, 2018

Show notes

This week we chat about makeup! We confess that neither of us are huge makeup wearers, consumers, keepers or storers. We have however decluttered many a bathroom and we can attest to how long some people keep their makeup for and how a bargain can suck you in! We chat about how Amelie was not allowed my 'used' makeup to play with (until I decluttered just recently!) and how Amy's father was also had the same rule in their house growing up. We realise that neither of our Mums are big makeup wearers which clearly had an effect on us! As usual we give you tips and tricks on how to decide what needs to get binned, what can be donated and what you should keep. We also give you some tips on how to store your makeup. As always we hope you have a giggle with us and enjoy the conversation!

Thanks to Narinder K Pannu for the requesting this weeks topic.
