I stopped counting but I never stopped decluttering! My youngest just had a significant growth spurt (like into and right out of a new size in a few weeks.... twice, back to back) so we just handed down a bunch of his clothes and shoes to others.

I just tossed several piles of DH's old magazines. They had been waiting for over a year for him to go through them. When I tied them up he said he would go through them now. I'm not waiting another year! Sorry!
Allen took a piece of fabric over to the neighbor that helps with 4-H. I sent her a picture and asked if she wanted it. When I brought it I just saw the green animals on white material and didn't notice the small 4-H clovers on it that had 4-h on them.
Lots of trash going out of my room. Plastic sacks for recycling, things I decided not to keep. Old receipts and bills from 2024.
Have a pile going for Goodwill.
Finding presents I had purchased and hid in the messy room and didn't find.
Several craft items I will see if Teigan wants to do and if not will check with my sister then will either try to sell or give to church. The ornaments from Dollar General and Dollar Tree that come in pack and are foam mostly. Makes anywhere from 2 to 6 ornaments.

Big decluttering day.

DH took a ute load of unused timber and some junk to the tip. Wish we could have used the timber as fire wood but it was either treated or painted.
Was going to go to bed early but decided to delete emails. Had over 3300 and deletes 100 at a time and then I deleted trash bin items and they were back to either 2020 or 2021!
Old microwave out of house in a.m., bag of trash from my room and 2 calendars to the shed, and 2 items to work. All out tomorrow.
Good Night!

I got a bunch of cardboard and broken items off a garage shelf.
I went to ds's today and with ddil we went through all the kid's clothing and some toys (not all!!!). My car is full ready to drop at the thrift store. She kept a box she will try to sell on Marketplace(we are far from town so doesn't sell well here). Will bring sis a few toys for her granddaughter ...at least 6 big garbage bags, 4 little ones, 1 blackboard- music table, 1 house for babies, 1 small pool filled with balls, 1 music instrument table, 1 big bag of random small toys, and a few things were thrown out. Now they have some space in the kid's wardrobe.

Have 4 bags of junk and odds and ends for the thrift shop. Forgot to take them with me this morning when I went to the thrift shop. I guess it gives me a excuse to go back to the thrift shop!
So common with boys! But usually only one or two major growth spurts like that!
