    These are some great tips! I normally don’t keep my home cluttered. I have seen many houses with kids that are messy but I just can’t stand the mess so I just clean it immediately.

    These are fantastic tips! I’m in a constant decluttering phase in my house and I need to get out of it. I feel like I am running around decluttering all the time! Will it ever end? Maybe when the kids get married? Only about 18 more years to go!

    Great tips! I use lot of baskets and boxes to declutter. I also hang number of multi layer storage bags inside my wardrobe (attached to the wardrobe door). Yet, with little kids my home turns into mess in no time. Little ones do help me in cleaning up the toys but it is not going to be the same arrangement. Things often get misplaced.

    Decluttering is something we should do more often. I would love to read more such posts.
