I am thankful to have my grandmother and mother's gene for ridding my house of clutter. Just as their husbands were not so excited about the idea of them going through the house with boxes and garbage bags, Kurt is not either. Last night when I told him I was going to clean out the butler's pantry he stood and watched to make sure I didn't get rid of something important. THis morning I conquered Hannah's bathroom cabinets which were full of hair supplies (go figure). Both of my older kids are used to my rampages so they avoid get too attached to anything in the house. Hannah was very helpful today. She cleaned out baby food containers to use as organizers for her numerous hair ties.
The sudden urge to clean out our house comes from feeling overwhelmed by the amount of stuff we have that we NEVER use. Really why do I need a bunch of candle holders, picture frames, cloth place mats, clothes, etc. It is all very unnecessary. My goal in this house wide purge is to have a garage sale in which I earn money for things I do care about such as family activities and vacations.
I hope to post before and after pics. Although I forgot a before pic with Hannah's cabinet, here is after the mass of hair products were tamed.
