2013 in 2013

Confused??? 

Ok i have decided to purge/get rid of/donate 2013 items in the year 2013!
If you have been to my house you know i am far from a packrat or a hoarder but with 7 people in the house stuff tends to just appear and multiply at times.

While we are very blessed by what we have i feel sometimes that "stuff" keeps me busy throughout the day and even the things that are meant to free up your time like washing machines, dishwashers, & vacuums-when you have a lot to maintain that's exactly what you spend your day doing....maintaining.

Well i have decided that i long for a simpler day and would like to have less to keep up on to be able to spend more time on what truly matters. So far this year I have already gotten rid of 1500 items!!! INCREDIBLE! If you think "there is no way i even have that much stuff" take a look at some of these places in your house and you will find unwanted/unused items:

• Under your bathroom and kitchen sinks
• Kitchen drawers (utensil drawer, the ever growing junk drawer, spice cabinet, Tupperware...)
• Entertainment Centers (dvds/cds/books...broken, unused, missing, damaged??)
• Jewelry box
• medicine cabinet
• Filing Cabinet, School papers/desk area (this one was a 500 item garbage hit for me!)
• Nightstands, dressers, shelves
• Kids rooms....need i say more....hehe

So you get the idea, once you get started its a liberating feeling! You can toss the junk/garbage, donate or sell what is garbage to you but will be a treasure or a blessing to someone else.

Happy Simplifying!!!
