Purging......

I swear we do this every six months, how do we manage to get so much "crap" in our house?!
I just did the kids bedrooms, I have one huge garbage bag of clothes from Jaden's room to hand down to a friend, then I got three!! garbage bags full of "stuff" to give to Goodwill. Now you can see the floor in the boys room, and Jaden's closet is looking so much better.
Last night we straightened up the furnace room(only because we were looking for a stupid missing power cord....which we never did find!). It feels so good to know it is more organized in there, Last month we did our laundry room, and I am embarrassed to say that Shane had to make 3 or more trips to Goodwill to get rid of the crap, I still had birthday party decorations in there from Jaden's first birthday......this house is not big enough for us to hang onto stuff like that.
I am working on our bedroom, I bought a new comforter set and some new curtains, and I am proud to say that I am getting rid of the old ones, normally I would hold onto them "just in case" but they are going to Goodwill too.
The two big rooms to tackle (other than our closet) will be under the stairs and the toy room.....I hope we can get that done during the summer.

I feel so much better when things are organized, it is like my brain can relax knowing it is done.
I will take pictures, I should have taken pictures of the kids rooms before they were cleaned out. I should also say that the kids obviously feel better too, I cleaned those rooms on Thursday and they have kept them clean since then, I have not even had to remind them to pick things up, they have done it by themselves......well the boys have anyway......Jaden is another story.
