0:00.0	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,
0:23.7	but I felt like I couldn't breathe with all of the stuff surrounding me. Over the next 10 months,
0:30.3	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
0:39.6	system, and I'm here to share all the tips, tricks, and encouragement. Let's listen to today's show.
0:49.1	Hello and welcome to another episode of the Decluttered Mom podcast. It feels like spring today, and I'm so
0:58.3	excited because it's, I mean, it's not spring yet. It should be, but it's not. March is typically
1:05.4	like the snowiest month of the year in Colorado, which now I'm recording this the first week of April. So,
1:13.3	hopefully we're out of the woods a little bit, but we, yesterday, it was 70 and sunny. It was
1:18.8	really windy, but so that kind of put a damper on things. But today, again, it's supposed to be
1:23.5	like 68 and sunny. Tomorrow we are supposed to have a snowstorm and then Wednesday it's supposed to be
1:32.5	nice and warm and sunny.
1:34.7	So I'm hoping that we're like we're starting to have more like nice days in a row.
1:40.5	And so I'm like, oh, this would be so nice.
1:43.3	And I will remind myself of this when it's the
1:46.7	dead heat of summer and it's like 100 degrees and I want to crawl into an ice bath. But for now,
1:54.5	like I just, I love spring. I love spring and I love fall. And I think it's because I just love
2:00.3	the changing of seasons.
2:03.2	It feels very like like a time of renewal to me. It feels like kind of like a fresh start, kind of a
2:10.6	reset, just like New Year. And spring just, it's just, it's so nice. You guys know know that a lot of people really like to do spring
2:19.4	cleaning and really like totally clear out their house and make it feel fresh and uh that it's that
2:27.1	clean slate right and so i'm just i'm excited that it's starting to get that way i feel like by
2:33.8	the end of winter,
