Purging

I have been cleaning out cubbards in my house...this cycle never ends for me. I clean it out, organize it and then 6 months later, it's back to a whopping mess!! Ever have that problem?? I think part of my problem is that I need to purge, get rid of what we haven't used in a year. If we haven't used it in a year, it's probably a good sign we never will, right?! I need to purchase some more of those plastic boxes to label so everything has it's own place. I did this for my girl's room and it was the best thing! Every toy has it's place, their room can be a big mess and it doesn't stress me out because I know not everything is going to be shoved into their toy box.

Ok, back to purging...another problem I have with cleaning out the closets and cubbards is what am I going to do with it all!? For me, a garage sale is not very lucrative. Once I count up all the hours of preperation before and after and comparing the profit...it's just not worth it to me. Believe me, I have had my share of garage sales. Then there is Goodwill, but that would require me packing it all into the car...which I have done, but not my favorite thing to do. So, yesterday we got a little postcard in the mail saying that a certain charity will be in our neighborhood to pick up any curbside donations next week! Yes!! Perfecto!!! I am taking advantage of this and doing a little summer clearance!! My husband will be so happy to finally get rid of the bags of stuff I already have sitting in his garage! I would love to show before and after pics to ya, but still having some networking problems...Have a great productive day!
