1. 2 pair of shoes
2. Bag of maternity clothes - maybe 1 dozen pieces.
3. 3 bags of little girl clothes - 2 small and 1 medium.

Only #2 has actually left. The rest are in my car.

7. Bag of gender neutral new born clothes to go to neighbor.

8. Another pair of toddler shoes.

9. WEIRD - ugly - homemade Christmas shirt to go to Good Will.

10. Bag of out-of-style and slightly stained baby clothes to go to day care for extras.

(and I'll amend how I'm counting to do myself some favors!) But - most of this is still riding around in my car. I need to make them go AWAY!
 

11. Sweater with puffy sleeves from the early 90s - gone to good will. 

12. Set of 3 hooks still in the package - Good Will. 

(and all of the crossed off stuff plus 11 and 12 have actually left my possession. 

[mkksmom]

57 baby and kids items off to the consignment sale which will be donated if they don't sell.

27 more that will not be donated if they aren't sold, so after this weekend, I'll know my total.

Way to go everyone!!

A small bag of clothes and a larger bag of clothes went out of my house on Weds.

So far 15 items (this included the above bags)

[MrsH]

150 sounds like SO much!  But I'm going to see if I can make it happen.  I constantly look around and see clutter clutter clutter...  Here was today:

1. bag of girl's size S/M clothing
2. bag of boy's size 3-4 clothing
3. bag of baby size 18m clothing - all went back to my SIL for her kids!
4. cloth diapering supplies - to SIL
5. pile of old magazines I was keeping for... what?  I don't know.

9 pairs of shoes

1 pile of papers
2 books
2 random shoe boxes thrown into recycling
1 hello kitty make up bag

Does it count if you put things to work in their intended purpose?

1 bed ruffle put back on bed after years being off
2 emergency blankets placed in the car
1 gentle cycle garmet bag placed where I can use it (instead of under the sewing table, what was it doing there?)

129 things to go!

Now, what to do about the pack and plan and stroller? I should be vicious and just kick them out...but what if I run into someone who needs them?

OK, about 40 more little toys either in the trash or the goodwill bag.  Then 6 bigger toys hidden and piled until I can drop them off later this week.  Found an owner for the pack'n'play, 2 sheets, and the stroller.  So what is that...50 more things destined to head out?  I need to do my closet later this week, and I'll be closer to my goal!

79 to go!

6. old blinds that were crooked and torn.  Trashed 'em!

7. broken musicbox

8. a bracelet that I've had visions of fixing.  For the past year.

9. expired allergy meds

10. old (as in 4 years old) make-up remover

Looking specifically for what to get ride of, rather than what to keep, is very exciting!  It feels easier to just get ride of stuff.  I'm also keeping a list of things to use before Christmas.  If I don't use them then they will be trashed or given away.  The type of things that I've held onto for years, waiting for that "special" time when I'll use it.  Let it be today!

11. 4 books that I'm passing along to my women's group tonight

Ok, 7 cloth diapers that we don't use that I just discovered in a box claimed, will be out of the house today along with some shorties that are outgrown and a hat.    70 to go, and I'm going through the book shelves as we speak!

Edited to add, a pair of too small sandals and a pair of too small socks going into the goodwill bag.  68 to go!

And 3 more little things from a spotted box that I can't use, but the little girl getting the diapers can.  I guess that may count as 1 thing...

[coyotemist]

I love this keeping track thing:

3 paper sacks of kids books

1 box full of broken toys and old playdough

other misc trash

1 pile of boxes out to recycling

1 low flow showerhead, 1 low flow kitchen head

So sort of 57 more things to go.

And 1 playroom better arranged!  Worth more than all these 150 things!

[greeny]

150. Baby car seat blanket thingie

149. Another baby car seat blanket thingie

148. Superhero magnet set

147. Small art set

146. Box of flash cards

145. Baby Tad toy

[MrsH]

12. Disney princesses calendar from 2009

13. teapot donated

14. never-used tin donated

15. book I always wish I used but don't... donated

16. post-date nasturtium seeds (trash)

17. a single bead awaiting the finding of the necklace it came from.  Been waiting for almost a year.

18. the melted wafer candy lollipops my daughter made this summer.

19. sprinkles from, uhm, well I'm really not going to say

20. party-favor baggies we'd been saving for 2 years, but got crumpled in the drawer and we'll never use.

It feels like a lot of stuff already, but not anywhere close to 150 yet!  I think I've done the whole downstairs, so now need to check the kids' room, my room, and the playroom upstairs.  We'll see how it goes, but it feels great.
