This month I'm hosting the Decluttering From A To Z challenge. It's a fun way to help you declutter items in your home that you may not have thought of decluttering.
If you've missed any posts you can find them all here.
Today we're decluttering items that begin with the letter S! You can declutter anything you want that begins with S. I'll share some ideas and you can choose any of them that resonate with you, or declutter your own ideas that begin with S. Join in the decluttering fun!
