You're listening to the decluttered 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.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the decluttered mom podcast. I am sick currently. Well, I take that back.

I'm hopefully knock on wood at the tail end of being sick. Back to school germs got us.

They got my nine-year-old. My six-year-old was spared. She did not get sick. but I got it. But, you know, that's what happens

when you're taking care of your kids and they sneeze directly in your face several times

throughout the week, right? So I'm at the tail end though, and I'm starting to feel better,

but you might hear it in my voice. So I wanted to give you that heads up. Today I wanted to talk about something that

I actually got a DM on Instagram asking me this question and I thought it would be a really good

thing to discuss because it usually comes up more for Christmas time because I think Christmas is a season that most people

decorate and then throughout the year there are there's a large percentage of people that

decorate like seasonally all throughout the year but then there's also a segment that doesn't

and so the DM was she she sent me a message just saying like, hey,

I'm getting ready to like decorate for fall. And I'm really curious how you decorate without adding

clutter. And I thought that was a really great question that I wanted to kind of go over and how I have my

process of decorating when I do decorate you guys. I am not a very great decorator. I have the

decorating style and taste of like someone in a dorm room in college.

Just I just I don't have, I don't have that very well.

It's not in my skill set.

So I just don't for a lot of things.
