what does this mean to you?
dh and I had a discussion about is and he thinks not everyone sees it the way I do. Decluttering to me means.....things get tossed. These are things that are just sitting there that haven't been touched in who knows how long. If its sentimental then it will be put away or I will get a bin to store them. But anything else will be tossed. This includes clothes, I store kids clothes that don't fit for the next gender child or store due to seasons. I toss clothes of mine that either don't fit or I know I haven't worn in a while. It sort of leaves me with hardly anything but at least I have room for more. :shifty
When it comes to toys that never get played with: if they're broken or have missing pieces I toss. If they're in good condition and can be passed down to the next child I will put away in storage bins we have in our shed. From there we usually go through them and toss some if it gets too full. Some will be donated.
Dh says I'm "Throw away happy."
I get this from my mom I guess. I remember days that she would come into our rooms and announce "Today we are getting rid of stuff, so get trash bags and toss whatever you aren't using or don't need." She meant it and we had to do it.
