We had Veterans of America come out last week and picked up 10 bags of donations. Threw out 3 bags worth of stuff, gave away a bunch of stuff and I have 2 more bags for donations already.
Thanks, but unfortunately my mom passed away last month and she had been living with us for 16 years due to her health. We were to pass along her medical equipment to one her younger sisters who is also having health issues. We donated her clothes and other knick knacks she had after my kids went through and took what they wanted to remember her by. She was a pack rat for sure LOL. in the process we took a hard look at stuff in the house/garage (which is a total disaster). We have my fathers and my MILs stuff in our garage and they both passed away 2/3 years ago. We are making hard decisions to let a lot of this stuff go and keep only the things that have meaning to us or that we can use and have a place for. We have a goal to have the house, garage and shed decluttered/purged by the end of summer.Way to Go Minta!
I have 4 or 5 medium size boxes ready for pick up next week! I think I am done decluttering and then when I go through house I "find" more. More likely I just decide I really don't need or use the item. Wish I could be more ruthless.
Looks Great!Organizer came today to help with the pantry. I thought it would take four hours so had two 2 hr sessions set aside for it. At 2 hours we were 3/4 done so she stayed another hour to finish. Had one bag of trash which was mostly empty plastic bags that all the new container wrappers. I am thrilled. She comes again on Monday but now I have to decide on what area next. Dh did mention he wanted to work on his new room his RC cars are in so maybe that room next. Several shelf units that need my stuff to find a new home.View attachment 3009View attachment 3010
I’m so sorry you are still in the hospital. Continued prayers for you, your family and those who are caring for you.Also I can't declutter my house since I'm still at the hospital, but I have been working on decluttering my 2023 photo files. I've seperated them by subject and now I'm purging extras. I don't like to leave all those duplicates in my photo files. By deleting the ones I don't like or 10 shots of the same subject, it's way easier when I go to develop them for scrapbooking.
