A few months ago, Joseph surprised me with a “just because” gift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My new mug<\/a> shows a beautiful scene of a girl (who happens to look like me!) and her three rabbits (I have two currently, one now passed away) sitting in front of a mountainous landscape. The other side of the mug makes a claim I repeat often: “Life is better with rabbits.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But…<\/p>\n\n\n

We only have space in our cabinet for three mugs (#RVLife), and I’m not the type of person who forces stuff to fit when it clearly won’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I decided it was the perfect opportunity<\/strong> for me to try the “one in, one out” decluttering rule. I’m an Enneagram 1, so I adore rules. (Except when they don’t make sense to me, but that’s for another post!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, if more of us followed this rule, I don’t think clutter would be as massive of a problem as it is today. Because once you’ve done all the hard work of decluttering, you want to make sure you keep it that way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psst… if you’re wondering how to start decluttering when overwhelmed, these tips are for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \"\"<\/a>\n \n
