You're listening to the Ducluttered Mom podcast. A podcast built specifically for busy moms by a busy mom. I'm your host, Diana Renee. And in 2017, I had my second daughter and it felt like I was literally drowning in my home. Okay, not literally,

but I felt like I couldn't breathe with all of the stuff surrounding me. Over the next 10 months,

I got rid of approximately 70% of our household belongings and I have never looked back. I kind of feel like I hacked the mom system

and I'm here to share all the tips, tricks, and encouragement. Let's listen to today's show.

Welcome to the first episode of 2023 for the decluttered Mom podcast. I am really excited about this

year. As I talked about on the last episode, if you haven't listened to it, go back and listen.

I talk all about how the new year, while some people fight against having a resolution, you cannot deny the new year while some people fight against having a resolution the new you cannot deny the new year

doesn't bring about like a new feeling a fresh start and when we are dealing with clutter sometimes

we need that extra push to be able to actually take action so the new year is a really good time for that.

And I'm just, I just, I have so many ideas for this year, you guys. I have so many ways that I can

help you. And I'm really excited for this year. Before I jump into today's episode, I wanted to let

you know that I am on the tail end, hopefully,

fingers crossed of a really bad strep infection. Miss Ait and I both got really sick a few days

before Christmas, the first Christmas in our new home. We also were going to host Christmas

for the very first time ever. Like I've never

hosted Christmas because we've always had a smaller space and it just made more sense to go to

other people's homes that had more space. And now we have more space. And so we were really

excited to be able to host this year. And the world was

like, um, just kidding. You are the proud new owner of a strep infection, you and your daughter. And it is

going to be miserable. Um, I had strep throat all the time as a kid. and I just remember it as being like a sore throat.

And like I was tired and I took naps.

But like as an adult, it is no joke.
