Generally I hate the whole concept of having so much stuff that we have
to get rid of some in order for it to all fit in our house. I am fairly
repulsed that as a society we need to do that. But, nonetheless, it happens. And so I've spent the entire week going through almost everything we own and just getting rid of stuff. The new year always gives me an itch to clear out and organize our house. It's like a fresh start.
And actually, I was pretty happy with the girls' gifts this year. I headed their wish list with a disclaimer about our play room being full enough and requested they please only receive quality toys or books or experiences. And it even seemed to be somewhat effective.
Still, we brought home many new things that needed homes. The day we arrived home I just wanted to go through every room of the house and GET. RID. OF. STUFF.
Declutter.
I read somewhere clutter causes stress, and it definitely causes me
stress. Or at least unease.
So now, it's taken me a whole week, but I have gone through the crawl space and gotten rid of things we had in storage that we (unfortunately) will not need anymore, baby clothes we won't need anymore, books, random stuff, etc. It feels good.
