This is the space that I am devoting to documenting my decluttering journey. You can find all of the other posts here.

This past weekend Liv and I finally made it to the Salvation Army to drop off another car load of stuff that can now go and fulfill its destiny at someone else’s home. Let’s see what we sent away last week:
Hayden has started tentatively clearing out some of his stuff. The poster didn’t bother me one little bit….
But his “weapons”…..
He gathered up most of his swords, rifles, light sabers and other various things from his childhood and I seriously wanted to cry. Never fear, there are LOTS of other things from his childhood that will never leave the house, but still….
ANOTHER backpack, and an overnight bag.
Belts, belts and more belts. Along with their closet holder.
I started clearing out my cutlery drawer because we have WAY too many forks, knives and spoons. My tip for you, if you feel like you have too many of something is to remove it from its home and stick it in a box for a week. If you don’t reach for it, then you probably won’t miss it. There are exceptions to this rule however. Like getting rid of all of your winter pajamas in July….and then realizing in November that you really don’t like sleeping in a tank top when it’s 30* outside….
More extras from the kitchen….
Does anyone keep their grilling spatula and tongs in the fancy box that they came in? This has been sitting in my dining room – empty – for a couple of years….
More candles for the candle making lady along with MORE extras from the kitchen.
Books that have been devoured and deemed okay to let go of. Also, this cool egg lamp, but no one liked it at my house.
More culling from Liv…poor My Little Pony.
Belts, and wallets….Do you change out your wallet often or do you have the same one that you’ve used for years? I always end up going back to a particular red leather wallet from Osgoode Marley that I love. (Yes, I bought it at a thrift store for $1.00, but if you are looking for something that will last you DECADES, this is an excellent investment) But, it doesn’t keep me from trying out a new one every now and then.
Dresses and shirts….
Pants and capris….
I somehow forgot to get a photo of the magazines that left last weekend. But they are gone and more will join them this week too. I think I may be making a dent in my magazine collection. It helps that I haven’t renewed most of the ones that I really disliked. Cosmo anyone?
That’s it for our donations last week.
What have you hauled away recently? Do tell.
