Good morning! We are going to start off our Monday with an easy one... the kitchen counters. You have five things there that can go... probably some of us have more than that, LOL, so go a little crazy if you want. But the goal is just to get rid of five things in under five minutes.

If you were decluttering with us last week, you are 15 items lighter already. Add another five to your tally today!

Too Funny, I already had set to clean off my kitchen counter today! Believe me it will be more than 5 things!

OK - here is what I "encountered" on just ONE counter:
vitamin bottle that didn't get put away
coffee grinder - fits in the cabinet right above coffee maker so I should put it there after I use it.
"extra" napkins that need to go in napkin holder
cat treat container - why is that even there???
DS left his cereal bowl - only a few steps away from the sink, seems that he takes after his father.....
My coffeee cup - totally my fault, but I was still using it!:D
oh, that is 6 things on just ONE counter..... no wonder I always feel surrounded by clutter! IT is all around me!!

So what did you guys find on your counter??

Having failed on the make up front, here goes...

1. spray polish
2. vacuum cleaner bags
3. set of screwdrivers (?!)
4. bread
5. butter

Great, I did it!
