Need some fresh ideas for clearing out clutter?

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

Let me share a couple that might just make the process a bit more fun!

Ever heard of the 3-box exercise? It's a super easy way to sort through your stuff. Get three boxes and label them: keep, donate, and trash. Then, go through your clothes and toss each item into the appropriate box. If you're unsure about something, ask yourself if you've worn it in the last six months. If not, it might be time to let it go! This trick works wonders not just for clothes, but also for decluttering your garage.

Another option? Consider hiring a skip bin. Having a big bin right in front of you makes it so much easier to toss things out. No more putting off the decluttering - just toss it in and watch your space open up!

Hope these tips help make your decluttering journey a breeze!

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition

Bob Owens Retirement Village

The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.

What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
