Carrie, I am way past midlife but your advice has been so helpful as I try to declutter the house I have lived in for 60 years and where I raised 5 children and a stepson.
You inspire me every day to keep going so my children will not have to deal with this some day.
Thank you.

I picked items that I loved from my mom’s house after she died BEFORE it was packed up and cleaned out. I selected 2 pieces of art, 1 wooden tray, 1 box of her china and her sewing machine that my daughter wanted, 1 box of housewares that my son needed, 2 tubs of quilts and bedding that I use, 20 pieces of jewelry and a wool cardigan that I wear, 1 small box of china glass collectibles that I display, and 1 small box of vintage items with memories that I keep in a pretty box. That’s it, that’s all. It helped that I needed to bring it back 1200km and planned ahead that I was only going to keep what I loved.

The Inside Out approach sounds great to me! I have 3 closets (average sized, not giant walk-in ones) of clothes and I need to get it down to one…I’m going to go “shopping” in my closets for my favorites with Inside-Out approach. 👍🏼Thsnks!

This was so helpful! I am doing my death cleaning/downsizing now. Going through old cards, realize I can’t keep them all. My Mother passed in 2021, still have 4 tubs to go through, I will try the keep 10 things rule.
Thank you so much!
