This was a good topic for a thread on DG. Was hoping Debbie from DG would come over here and start it again..but I will....
It is to share tips and encouragement about making your life simplier via decluttering...donating...tossing...burning!! Whatever!
Minimalists to hoarders welcome!
Nobody judges! All encourage and share what works!
I decluttered a years wirth of paperwork today because I do not want my kids to have to go through it.
I also straightened out my food closet and brought the dates to use first up to the front.
I also cleaned my fridge and tossed condiments...
Can you tell it is cloudy out?
There is a teen who needs some winter duds ..I am about to visit her town and so going through clothes I think she may like...no fuddy duddy please! Ha! What I think is great and what she thinks....hmmmm
The shed....now that is a wreck.
I should mention that my DH is a packrat.
He has grocery receipts from 1971 .he has warranty books from appliances we no longer have....he has nuts and bolts and screws in case he "NEEDS them". BUT IF HE NEEDS THEM...HE GOES TO HOME DEPOT AND BUYS MORE!!..... .
I kid you not.. ..but I make him keep everything (paper) neatly so the kids wont be afraid to close eyes and toss when the time comes. When he is not looking..I toss. I exaggerate..but IF I let him..he would have every surface covered..bad match for a neatnik... except for paint...I hate to toss paint! ...and books...and the kids art...and platic plant containers...and colored bottles....
Don't squat with yer spurs on!
People try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved
