Thanks, clutterwarrior, I'm actually nearing the end of the major decluttering in a couple weeks and I don't know if I'm going to meet my goal. Maybe I will by the end of the year, but we only have less than 2 months left. I think I wasn't counting enough in the beginning. I would toss tons of letters and cards, but only count them as part of 1 pile of papers. I did start counting them toward the middle of my decluttering journey, though. We'll see.

Pants
cloth bag
pile of papers
coupon
flip flops
4 boxes
plastic toy
napkins
informational packet
4 handheld massage gadgets
Junk Mail
bead
2 Books
Stray Sock
Cloth Bag
2 Pens
Battery
2 magazines
Exposed roll of film
craft
paint by numbers
box to paint by numbers
packaging to acrylic paints
20 paints
clothes hanger
2 plastic bags

1330 +55 = 1385/2010

I probably got rid of 2010 items just today! Wait, can I count each individual packing peanut? Then I have 4010! Haha! I got rid of packing peanuts, big shipping boxes, trash, recycleables, and took a bunch of stuff to the thrift store. Whew! I feel so great. I put on Facebook: "Who needs a therapist when you can unload mountains of crap at DI?"

I think I may be at or around 2010 by now. Somewhere along to way I've lost count.

I finally convinced DH that we don't need DD's double bed and we can take the bunk bed apart for them to each have a twin in their small bedrooms! So out to the curb went a bed frame, box spring, mattress and a headboard! It was gone within the hour.

We also got rid of a musty smelling dresser, a bunch of boys clothes, some candlesticks, a bouncy ball, a microscope, an extra dogs leash and collar.
