So far, I have about 75 items of children's clothing to bring to donation/give to friends & 13 things for the trash since they can't be recycled/donated.

When I finish with the clothing, I am going to try & tackle the toys...that may have to wait until tomorrow though. I'm getting tired.

EVERYTHING counts. We are here for motivation and encouragment. And OK to be honest we get to brag a bit to people who appreciate our work.

I just cleaned out my freezer and threw away old freezer burnt veggies, buns, bags with like 3 french fries, etc. I give myself 10 points for that.

So my current total is 21.

This is fun. I have all the boxes of our christmas decorations down from the attic in the garage. I have four boxes, not big ones. Lights, ornaments, stockings, tree skirt, etc are in those boxes. Most of the ornaments are the kids. Oh I forgot one box was left up in the attic...those darn Village pieces. Another what were you thinking purchase. I would rather just use greens, candles and pinecones.

Can I count all the clothes I dropped off at goodwill today? If so, then I'm at about 75 things already, LOL! (I cleared out all the clothes that are now too big on me since I've lost 18 pounds, and all the leftover maternity stuff, plus all the clothes my youngest has outgrown)

WOW 75 pieces of clothing. You have to be feeling good about that.

A five drawer file cabinet? I got goosebumps thinking about getting rid of a piece of furniture.

3 winter coats..someone who needs a nice warm coat will be so happy when they find those.

I have been holding on to so much stuff that it is just too much. I am keeping the grow into sizes & parting with as much little stuff as possible. It is way cheaper to buy baby clothes than big kid clothes

13. broken crate thrown into trash
14. broken trash can lid into trash - it's been lying on back porch for at least 2 months
15. trash can put out by curb - I guess it doesn't officially count til it "walks away" though

You have no idea, LOL! It's double good feeling since most of it was clothes that are too big on me now, so it's decluttering AND a better body image - BONUS!

I'm in for now, but I'm due on Friday so I might not finish. I've been decluttering like crazy recently and with this nesting energy I could probably get rid of most of it today

My current total if I'm starting today is 5. I got rid of 5 broken Christmas ornaments last night. I'll work on this today and update later

Okay, I'm in. It'll be hard, but I need some motivation. Especially with more stuff coming in for Christmas.
