Purging...that's what I've been attempting to do lately. We found out that the house is pretty much ours and we are just waiting to close. So, in order to prepare ourselves for the *big move* we are purging an epic ton of crap!
It feels great and is a little sad all at the same time. I definitely do NOT want to bring all my clutter to the new house. I don't form deep emotional attachments to some inanimate objects like some people do so it's a lot easier for me to get rid of things. It is sad to see some items go but I know we don't need them and won't use them again in the foreseeable future.
I go through toys about twice a year because I can not *stand* tons of toy clutter. We still have more than I like but I get rid of broken toys, toys that are missing pieces and toys that are super loud or otherwise obnoxious. Usually right before birthdays and Christmas when I know a giant toy influx is coming. One thing I do have a tough time getting rid of is books. I will keep a book until is beyond repair. This only applies to kid books though. I want to get rid of all my books and Adam's books. They take up WAY to much space and we will most likely never read them again. I'm working on getting Adam to agree with me though.
So, look forward to me discussing many, many aspects of the move. Yay for us!
