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.

And so I wanted to talk to you just today because you are a member of Minimalish starts here, right? I am.

Awesome.

Can you share with us just a little bit about yourself, your family, kind of where you're located and all those fun things?

Sure.

That's Waco, Texas, which is

Central Texas. And I am a mama of three children. I've got five-year-old twins and an almost

two-year-old. We have kind of always, even before kids had what I would call sort of a messy house.

Yeah.

My parents are very attached to things.

I think there are probably a variety of psychological reasons behind that.

I know I've certainly got my own.

But really, like, I grew up in very full cluttered houses.

So did my husband.

And so it really wasn't until after our

twins were born that I started feeling really overwhelmed by the stuff I was having to manage.
