    Missy,
    You are doing great! I'm ready to bag up a slightly psycho cat today and donate her to somewhere!

    Lady came and got the mugs, so its's done with. I decluttered the baking dishes about a week ago, but tossed the ones that i didn't want anymore, they were in awful shape. i think i will try to hit the pots and pans tomorrow.

    Yesterdya i took my candle cabnit (candles, potpourri, insence, potpourri crocks etc) and got rid of all broken candles, the broken crock, pieces and things we have never used. wound up keeping six taper candles only. All that was worth keeping. i put those away in the tv cabnit. Now the candle cabnit is in the nursery, I filled it with all the breastfeeding supplies i have...IE the pump and accessories, the storage bags, the breast pads, etc etc etc. and our baby scale is on top. So while decluttering I found a better use for a piece of funriture we have.

    Seriously, even though I'm not the one doing the decluttering, I'm getting such a sense of satisfaction reading through your decluttering rampage posts! I LOVE when things get decluttered and organized! Some people get a high from shopping, mine is from this!

    I am excited, the more i get rid of, the better I feel inside myself. It seems the more physical clutter i get rid of, the more mental and emotional clutter I can lift up and toss out too.

    Last night during kids baths, I decluttered the medicine cabnit in their bath, and their bath supplies cupboard.
