Letting Go!!

So, I’m feeling the need to go through and let go of things in my home. Trust me, I’m not the greatest at this!! I hold onto many things that we might use someday, but I feel so good when I can let go of some items. It brings such order to my home and will make it a lot easier to organize (why spend time organizing things you will never use??). We live in a world where we are constantly bombarded with so much stuff. We have to monitor it or it can take over our lives. Look at how many things have come into your home in the last week!! As I’ve looked around my home and listed these items I feel justified to get rid of more!! If you need some inspiration check out 100 Reasons to Get Rid of It. Very fun and inspiring.

Good for you! I have been feeling the need to declutter lately too. I agree it is ridiculous the way we are bombarded to buy more and more. Figure out a way to be happy with what you've got. By the way thanks for looking me up! It is great to see your family again, maybe someday it will be in person.

I agree, and I think decluttering helps think more straight.. if that makes any sense... its like freedom.. LOL... its been really nice, because Doug and I put ourselves on a tight budget,so when I do go out, it has to be for a specific reason, not just to go to the store when I am bored, and buy stuff I DONT need.. it has helped alot in the last month!

I totally agree!!! I am a HUGE organizer BUFF! That is one of my fortes(sp?) I CAN get rid of stuff! Here is a secret that I gave to my mom...she had 5 pillows that her aunt made that she couldn't part with they sat in a tub in her garage for YEARS!! I told her to put them together and take a picture of them!! She loved that idea and has done that with several other items as well...I need to do that with the pictures Elijah draws...TONS of those and they all have to be on the fridge at the same time.
