Ideas for Intentionality 8/52: Quitting Stuff Manager Job, My Ugly Home Spots, and Toy Swaps 

by Lana Sullivan

Happy Friday!

I am up late on Thursday night writing to you. I have a beeswax candlestick by my side that is getting down to a cute little nub. 

I FINALLY finished a video I have been working on for far too long!

If you want to feel really good about yourself and your house, just go check out this video that goes live at 7am EST, because I show you some UGLY spots in my house.

Truthfully, when I started YouTube I would have never showed the crazy I showed in this decluttering video.

I realize now that having a YouTube channel is all about helping YOU win, and I don’t have to have it all together to accomplish that goal!

Here are some Ideas for Intentionality that I have been using in my decluttering journey.


Ideas for Intentionality:

NEW Decluttering Video: I go through all my kids clothes, toys, a linen closet I turned into a homeschool closet and a medicine cabinet. WHEW! Needless to say, if you want to feel GOOD just grab a black trash bag and go for it while you declutter with me. 

Decluttering Course I Took: You know you don’t NEED a decluttering course, but if you feel like you keep losing at eliminating the clutter, just getting a guide on board to just tell ya what to do is so helpful!

Use the code SIMPLIFY to get $75 off the course!

Velvet Hangers: When I decluttered I tossed all my old plastic hangers and just went with this uniform look and no clothes slip off anymore, and it is way more visually appealing.

Toy Swaps: Junked a lot of toys that had one purpose and just stuck with the basic wooden blocks, magnatiles, and duplos. Of course they have more than that, but those are the staples. 

Montessori Shelf: this was so easy to put together that my 8-year-old son did it alone in 20 minutes! I like the natural wood look and that it is sturdy. 


What else am I working on? 


 Video of the Week:

Let’s declutter together! 


Women’s Event to Know About:

One of my mentors and friends is putting on this conference!

I went last year and was so inspired. 

There are a ton of breakout sessions too. 

If you are in the NC area there is still room to sign up!

There are scholarships for single moms and college students too!


Want to send this email to a friend, just copy and paste this link:

Sending love,

Lana

P.S. My son wanted to make sure I was ordering more of these, because they really have been so dreamy! I got a stand for them at a thrift store, but this stand is pretty too!

Pregnant P.S. Here is my birth story of my first baby and here is the birth story of my 5th baby! If you are pregnant I can’t encourage you enough to take in as many positive birth stories as you!
