Winter Decluttering: Why You Should Start Now
Winter is here, and as much as we love the cozy vibes it brings, it can also be a reminder of just how much stuff we have within the walls of our homes. With colder weather and shorter days, chances are you’re spending more time indoors—baking, watching movies, playing games with the kids—all the things that make winter special. But let’s be real: more time inside also means facing the clutter that’s been piling up. And as busy moms, we could all use a little help keeping it under control!

In fact, here are five reasons why winter is the perfect time to clear out the clutter and start fresh.

1. More Time Indoors
With shorter days and colder temperatures, we naturally find ourselves spending more time inside. In our family, that means extra game nights, movie marathons, baking sessions, and craft projects. But in between all the fun, we’ve made it a habit to use this time to declutter—clearing out the excess so we can start fresh for the new year and spring.
The best part? Decluttering doesn’t have to take over your entire weekend. If you’re already stuck inside, take advantage of the moment by tackling just one small area at a time—whether it’s a single drawer, a cluttered shelf, or a neglected corner. Even 15 or 30 minutes here and there can make a huge difference over time. While there are certainly times when we tackle entire rooms, most of our decluttering happens in small, focused bursts—and that consistency is what keeps our home in order.
And if you need a little guidance to get started, I’ve put together an extensive decluttering guide just for busy moms like you. It’s designed to feel like a supportive friend walking you through the process, step by step—so you can create a home that feels lighter, calmer, and more functional without the overwhelm.
2. A Fresh Start Before Spring Cleaning
Spring cleaning is on every busy mom’s to-do list, but why not get a head start in the winter? Focusing on decluttering now means that by the time spring arrives, you won’t have to waste time sorting through piles of stuff when you’d rather be scrubbing, mopping, and dusting. Winter is the perfect season to clear out the excess, get organized, and set yourself up for success—so when spring cleaning rolls around, the hard part is already done, and you can enjoy a fresh, stress-free start.

3. Easily Clear Out Holiday Decor
Holiday decorations are one of the biggest clutter culprits, especially once the season ends. Between Christmas lights, ornaments, and festive trinkets, it’s easy for things to pile up year after year. That’s why winter is the perfect time to reassess and declutter your holiday stash before packing it all away.
Instead of shoving everything into boxes haphazardly, take a few extra minutes to organize your décor in a way that makes sense. You’ll feel so much better next year when it’s easy to pull everything out. My bet— you’ll find that less is often more when it comes to decorations.
4. Making Room for Holiday Gifts
Let’s face it — the holidays are a time when more stuff inevitably finds its way into your home. Whether it’s new toys for the kids, extra kitchen gadgets, or gifts you never thought you’d receive, the influx of items can leave you feeling overwhelmed. Winter is the perfect time to go through what you already have and make space for all those new additions.
If you or your kids received gifts that won’t get much use, or if their toy collection is overflowing, now is a great time to purge the old. Not only will this make your home feel lighter and more organized, but it’s also a great opportunity to teach your kids the value of letting go of things they no longer need or love. A little post-holiday decluttering can go a long way in keeping your home feeling spacious, functional, and ready for the year ahead.
Hi! I'm Carrie.
I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m a coffee-loving homebody, blessed with an incredibly supportive husband and two amazing boys. Decluttering and organizing have been passions of mine for as long as I can remember.
From getting paid $2 per cabinet to organize my parents’ kitchen as a kid, to designing my first apartment, and now managing our entire home—I’ve always been the go-to organizer in my circle.
After having my second son, I quickly realized that keeping everything in order wasn’t as easy as it used to be. It took me a little time to find a rhythm that worked for our growing family, but once I did, I felt inspired to help other moms create that same sense of peace and organization in their homes.
So, let’s do this together! I’d love to help you create the organized, peaceful home you’ve been dreaming of.
5. Great Sales on Storage Solutions
Winter is one of the best times to score deals on storage solutions, furniture, and home organization products. With post-holiday sales in full swing, many retailers offer deep discounts on bins, baskets, shelving, and other organizational tools—making it the perfect time to invest in smart storage without breaking the bank.
A few well-chosen storage solutions can make a huge difference in keeping your home clutter-free. Whether you’re tackling an overflowing closet, reorganizing the playroom, or bringing order to your kitchen cabinets, taking advantage of seasonal sales can help you maximize your space efficiently and affordably.
So, busy moms, don’t wait until spring to reclaim your space! Decluttering now will make your home feel lighter, more functional, and far less overwhelming as you step into the new year. Start small, tackle one area at a time, and take advantage of seasonal deals to create a home that truly works for your family. And if you need a little guidance along the way, my decluttering guide is here to walk you through it step by step. A clutter-free, stress-free home isn’t just a dream—it’s completely doable, and you deserve it.
