I’m recording from Spain and taking on a familiar beast I call “scarf mountain”—the piles of hats, scarves, gloves, and mitts that quietly overrun our homes. I explain why winter accessories multiply so fast: they’re affordable, often gifted, easily lost and replaced, and tied to memories and sentiment. Then I walk you through a clear process: gather every winter accessory from all corners of your home, pair and sort them, ruthlessly weed out anything worn out, itchy, ill-fitting, or never used, and keep only what you truly wear and love. I share practical storage ideas, like clear bins, labeled baskets, and grab-and-go stations near the door so winter mornings run smoothly.

In the second half, I help my mom, Michelle, declutter decades of photo albums using simple photo boxes, showing how the same principles can make even sentimental projects manageable and meaningful.

Clear Storage Bins are easy to find on Amazon.
