Welcome back to the Fall Declutter Challenge where I'm attempting to declutter my entire home in just five weeks to get holiday ready!

Today I tackled my upper and lower kitchen cabinets, and while I thought it was going to be super easy (so easy I'd get the entire kitchen done in one day), I hit a major roadblock when I found severely expired items in my cupboards, some even dating back eleven years. How I missed that not only in my last declutter, but when I was packing to move seven years ago, I have no idea.

So here's a reminder for you: decluttering is going to bring challenges. Just remember that things will slip through once, twice, multiple times as we go through our homes. This is why it's important to declutter regularly and routinely. Maybe we weren't ready to part with an item yet, maybe we thought we'd still need it. Maybe we didn't see the expiration date. It's more about taking the time and doing what we can when we can. Each step forward is getting you closer to a peaceful home, so keep up the great work, even if you are like me and miss decluttering a spice for eleven years :)
