It's been a week since I posted about
clearing out a significant amount of our stuff... We've made some pretty remarkable progress... several boxes and bags (enough to fill that back of our pick up and then some) taken to the thrift store... A second pick up load of crap that who knows why we were keeping it taken to the dump... and we are still tossing and sorting...
My goals this week are to eliminate some of my girls wardrobe... as well as get rid of some very well used winter gear.
If you haven't read it yet... I highly recommend
Clutterfree with Kids: Change your thinking. Discover new habits. Free your home.
It has tweaked my thinking about stuff... and helped Craig and I be in the same boat when it comes to minimizing...
How is your clean out going?
With out a doubt this is one of the hardest decisions to keep to especially in light of well meaning family and friends. Getting the stuff under control is an awesome feeling and opens up our homes and settles the mind. Well done on the job so far, it is a work in process like, endlessly. : ) But in a good way as it gives you the chance to make that positive choice over and over again!
