This month we have focused on the benefits de-cluttering can bring. Not only can a good clear out create more space for the family but it can also clear your mind of all the associated stress and anxiety caused by a disorganised environment.

All too often, as with most of our mum-related responsibilities, we like to think we can cope with the huge and daunting task of de-cluttering our homes. If you, like many women, are under the impression you must do everything yourself in order to achieve Supermum status (a ridiculously stressful and non-existing aspiration), think again!

Asking others for help is a good way to be efficient with time, resources and energy. When de-cluttering, it is vital to ask for the help of others, especially those who live with you, so they understand and appreciate what it is you are trying to achieve.

Your partner should want to get involved in case you throw out his beloved record collection and the kids should be wary of you getting rid of their favourite toys! Of course you wouldn’t do this, but the thought of such a catastrophe should be enough to get them bought in!

Your children are never too young to help you tidy and organise of the home – and these are great skills for them to acquire. Ask them to sort through their toys and books, to decide which they no longer need or have outgrown. Encourage them by arranging to take the unwanted items to a charity shop so other children can benefit from these items.

If everyone has helped in your de-clutter, it is more likely they will help maintain a harmonious home environment. This will not only help you long-term but it will support the whole family to enjoy happy relationships in calm, relaxed surroundings.

So, when you’re next at the supermarket, invest in an extra pair of washing up gloves and some new dusters, to allow every member of the family to get involved in the upkeep of the household chores!
