Clean it out, Throw it out, Give it out!
ByMake Your Home a Haven Monday
Here’s what I’m doing to make my home a haven this week:
We don’t need stuff, we don’t buy stuff, so how do we end up with SO MUCH STUFF?!
This week I plan to go through each room and clean it out!!!
I have completed cleaning out one bedroom and have gotten a whole trash bag full of stuff we don’t need. Some of it is trash…some of it will go in our garage sale pile, some of it will be given away.
Oh yes, I knew you’d be excited to see my big bag of stuff!
These were among my favorites in the big bag of stuff we don’t need:
Sunglasses from the 1980′s (blocks 0% of UV rays);
One half of a plastic soccer ball;
One plastic spider that has scared too many little people around here;
And one plastic toy that never did work (it was supposed to shoot balls up and out of the top), and has been repaired with lovely masking tape, so that it can continue not to work…
There’s no telling what else I’ll find as I clean out the house!
Does anyone else LOVE getting rid of unneccessary clutter as much as I do?
P.S. You’ll see my menu for the week here!

Good job. Keep it going!

Oh my, are we ever acquainted with STUFF! (Where DOES it all come from?) I’m with you… if it’s not well-loved or being well-used, it’s OUT! Our 4-yr-old has a knack for discovering her discarded (by me) “stuff” in the trash can or garage sale bag and suddenly falling in love with it… “Please, Mommy, I NEED it!!” Oh boy… Now what??? LOL

I’m a “stuff” collector yet at the same time it drives me crazy! So, once in awhile I go through and part with “stuff” and in the process realize that it’s a terrible habit. Now if I could just keep others from sending stuff to my house!!

Hi. I’m starting to make the rounds of folks who entered my giveaway. Thanks for stopping by.
I actually LOVE cleaning out clutter too. I recently wrote a post, however, about how I’m going to TRY really hard not to let the clutter build up in the first place.
