    Default What Can You Part With Today?

    Good afternoon, all! I hope this note finds you all enjoying a relaxing Sunday afternoon!

    Today I'd love to challenge everyone to get rid of one item. Can be large, can be small. Can be trash, can be something to be donated or sold. It's up to you. However, I'd love for everyone to get rid of one item that is currently cluttering up some part of your house, no matter how large or small.

    We are going to be moving one of the kids downstairs into the guest room and putting the baby upstairs with us, so I am goingt o go into the guest room closet and pull out one bag of things to get rid of. I don't yet know if it will be clothes to donate or just plain old trash. I've got to get in there first, but there will be a bag of SOMETHING to go!

    I'd really love for you to join me! What will you get rid of today?

    Well, while going thru the box of Christmas stuff I found a string of lights that didn't work so I will be throwing those out for sure....lol

    More cleaning to do this evening so I might find something else to get rid of.

    I'll be giving some holiday lights we're not using to a couple of wonderful starving-student friends. I'm also decluttering my craft area.

    I cleaned out the fridge today, so I tossed a ton of stuff. I'm also getting rid of a bunch of things on Ebay this week (I hope!)
