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.

Welcome to another episode of the Decluttered Mom podcast. I'm going to do something a little bit

different today that I have never done before, but a couple of podcasts I listen to do this like

once a quarter usually and I find it like interesting. And I was like, hmm, maybe we'll try it for

me. And if you guys think it's interesting, great. If you think it's weird,

that's great too. Just let me know so that we don't keep doing them if you don't like them.

But I thought it would be fun to do like a my favorite things episode. And so these are just things

that I'm currently loving. They could be physical items. They could be concepts. They could be

books. They could be all sorts of things. And so I thought it would just be a fun thing to do.

And as a reminder, as we get into this, it's important to remember that even though I teach

decluttering, I always remind that just because I teach

decluttering doesn't mean I don't own any physical items because that would be a minimalist

and I am not a minimalist, which we have talked about before. So while I don't want you to just go out and buy everything that you hear on a

favorite things episode, I think it's also just a fun thing because when we are decluttering

and when we are simplifying, it's because we're making space for the things that we do

truly love and we're getting rid of the access for the things that we don't care about.

And so these are just some of the things that I do truly love right now.

Okay, so we're just going to jump right in.

So the very first thing is, I don't know how to say it.
