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. Today we are doing a call-in episode and I love

these. I think they're so fun because they remind me of like the old school radio shows where

people would call in and ask a question and it's just kind of fun and nostalgic. And also it helps

me to connect to you guys because I can actually hear your voice and hear what your question is and be able to reply directly back to you.

And at the same time, helping anyone else who has a similar question or frustration or anything like that.

If you have a question for me that you would like to get played on the show and have me answer your question, right on the podcast, you can go to the show notes and we have a link right to a website. It's super, super simple. You go there, you put in your name, I think maybe your email and then you just push a button and you talk and you leave your question.

I think you can even like listen to it back first before you submit it to make sure it's how you want it.

And then you just hit send and that's it.

It's super, super easy.

We put a lot of time, our team put a lot of time into finding the software that

would make it the easiest possible for you guys. So we pay for a software to be able to do it,

even though there's free ones out there because we wanted to make it as easy as possible.

So if that's you, if you have a question and you want to maybe be on a future episode,

then please go to that

link in the show notes and you can leave your question. Let's get to today's call in.

Hi, my name is Katie from Michigan and my question is, without a pantry, how do I store the bulk grocery items and paper supplies that I

buy from Costco? Often they end up on the counter or shoved in a corner of the kitchen and make the

whole space just look cluttered and visually stressful. What can I do? Okay, so Katie, hi, first of all,
