Massive purge going on!!

[LD92599]

Good job! I need to decide what toys of ds1 to keep for ds2, books etc all need to be purged. I am hoping a neighbor finds out she's due with a boy so that i can pass along clothes of ds2... Same season!

I wantto start 2011 on a clean slate.

Sounds awesome! I aspire to that.

Our problem area is the den, where random boxes and bags have been thrown for many moons. I got a good start on it tonight and feel a little better about it. But I can tell DH is making some popcorn so I'm going to have some now!

Ut Oh. Didn't you get the garage done pretty recently? Will it be easy to get back to where it was?

It shouldn't be too bad,mostly it's the work table...but there are a few boxes that never get sorted. I get everything put away and those same boxes sit there. I also need to sort through the cabinets and toss what is no longer needed and make space for the stuff on the worktable!

I need to purge as soon as the kids go back to school next week. I've got toys, books, and clothes to go through.

I've purged all my maternity stuff and have 3 paper shopping bags bags of 0-6 month stuff to give away (one each to friends expecting babies) and a Rubbermaid bin of nicer stuff to sell or save. (ok, so not entirely purging yet!) I have 3 garbage bags of girls and baby clothing for a local shelter. Toys - sigh. Need to work on that next, as well as my (pretty modest, but rarely used) closet!

I'll be right there with you starting next week. Although I'm hoping it won't be too bad, because I really purged a LOT last year.
My main concern right now is my closet, where I am just unsure how to proceed. I barely fit into anything in it, but I am NOT going to buy bigger clothes, ykwim? So I feel a bit stuck there. Plus, even if I could wear most of this stuff, it really needs to go a lot of it. I am hoping getting off Prozac will start to let me lose some of this weight soon.

I am working on toys this weekend. Purging and reorganizing everything in the playroom and DS's bedroom. Yesterday I took a bunch of pictures so I could make photo labels for his toy bins.

This year I am totally focusing on decluttering and simplifying our home and lives!

Purging and packing all day here. Moving in 4 weeks and taking advantage of the urge to purge while packing Oh, and found some more Christmas dresses, etc. to give to a friend who is expecting a girl soon. Need to post some hanna fleece baby jackets on CL along with a few other things worth selling.

threw away at least one huge trash bag of stuff, have two huge trash bags to donate so far. And still working...

Getting DS2 down for a nap and hoping DH continues purging/packing in the meantime.

DH and I spent most of the day purging papers (old documents that we had filed and old letters) and toys. We have 2 garbage bags of shredded papers and the recycle bins are overflowing. I also have 2 huge boxes of toys and outgrown shoes to take to Goodwill sometime this week.

I hope that I can get a lot of house cleaning/purging done in 2011. We have a fairly big house but there are lots of problem areas where clutter collects and there isn't much place to stow anything since closets and cabinets are full!
