    Thumbs up Reformed pack rat.

    This past week, I've been trying my alt. fly baby steps. I've delcuttered areas, hauled junk to donation, and tried really hard not to bring in replacements

    Well, I cleaned out a large bathroom cupboard. Not a "medicine chest". A wall mounted upper portion of a Shaker hutch.
    A sampling of some "treasures" I found:

    - Garden Botanika diaper cream. My youngest is 7.5yo. He'd be mortified!.
    - lanolin nipple cream for breast feeding. Again, youngest is 7.5yo and has been weaned for quite a while.
    - 62 bars of soap.YES! 62! Bath sized. Dial, Yardley, artisan hand made....we got it!
    - 12 bottles kid shampoo
    - 6 bottles adult shampoo
    - 8 tubes of Crest
    - 7 extra new toothbrushes
    - enough Harry Potter bandaids for the next 5yrs..glow in the dark. Cool.
    - 9 new doderants
    - enough feminine hygiene products for at least 2005.
    - "family planning" items that expired in 2002.
    - prescription ear drops for 10yo's ear surgery he had at 18mo!
    - enough Immodium l/o from Dh's China trip to cork the St. Lawbernce seaway!

    tons of other stuff! All now gone. Neat and tidy.

    Goal this year is to do a drawer or cupboard a day to weed stuff out.
