Katrina - we live too far from town so not much luck on Marketplace, which is why I prefer to just bring it all to the thrift store
February 2022 Decluttering
- Thread starter sweetpumkinpye
- Start date
Thanks Lucie. I would like to try Market Place to sell some furniture that we do not want to taketo the farm. A hallstand and kitchen hutch are the main pieces. I am just a little hesitant to start. I will look into it a bit more.
Just put 6 or 7 spatulas and wooden spoons in the donate pile. I don't know how many wooden spoons I think I need.
Rubbish bin night, I wonder what I can find to toss?

We're under a state-wide burn ban here. We've had an almost rainless winter.
Hi all!
I am still "eating down the freezer" and am being very mindful of food use and waste. With prices higher than ever.
Has cut down on my weekly grocery bill.
Gave a friend some car stuff- engine cleaner, oil.
He has an old jalopy truck and figured he could use it.

Since I bought 6 sweaters last week, I put 6 sweaters in the donation bag
I took a bag of plastic lids to work for a church that collects them.
Your home should tell the story of who you are, and be a collection of what you love. (Nate Berkus)
2 thermometers and thermometer wand in the donation bag. yippee!
Lucie- Love that quote!
I like this one, too, by Oprah:
"When walking through your front door, your home should rise up to meet you."
This is in reference to why do we do things like make our bed when it's only us that sees it.
Keep things nice for your own self, comfort, and enjoyment.
I notice a completely different level of relaxation and comfort when my home is tidy and clean. And spaces are Cleared.
Yesterday when the pet sitters were over, I noticed my eyes going to the side of my bed- the side closest to the wall. It has become a catch all for stuff. Need to clean that up! I was looking at it from the pet sitter's eyes as they have never seen the room.

Had brought back a hot glue gun and glue sticks from mom's over the weekend (did not want it but one of the siblings put it in MY bag because I craft - already have a glue gun). Had put it aside. DS just called asking if I could lend him a glue gun (with some glue sticks)... Perfect! He got a brand new gun and a pack of sticks 
I organized 2 1/2 shelves in our large closet. Hung unused wreaths on the wall until they're needed..
Garbage can (small) is full.

I put two winter items in the bag that will go to the consignment shop in August when they start taking winter items. I keep the bag in my closet and add to it when I have things that are going.
Added an exercise heart belt to the donation bag. dh had brought it from mom's but kids didn't want it and we do not need it.
BIG bag of garbage upstairs that will go out tonight along with two boxes.
Going to make labels for some of the stuff I organized.

Cleaned kitchen drawers today and some old stuff went into trash and I put some kids plastic spoons in a bag.
Got rid of one big plastic container of ds’s stuff. The other one will go in the attic
I have a hardly used hair straightener ready to go. DD gave it to me and I have never used it. Offered it to a friend but she has one.
