Oh look let’s face it, I’m a hoarder. A much improved hoarder but the tendencies are there forever waiting to leap up and sink the teeth in. I am careful to make sure that I don’t hold onto things just because. I need to have a reason for holding onto them. A real reason.
Bottles I am using and less are coming in so I do tend to hold onto them.
Other stuff getting much better. K still claims we have too much junk but looking at it now it is a lot of kids stuff. Kids toys are my nightmare. 4 girls seems not to just quadruple the amount of toys but increases by about 20 times. Toys are handed down, toys are made, toys come into the house as gifts and toys just seem to make their way in. I had implemented a very rigorous handing down technique as in NOT much at all was handed down.
Well it is time. Miss L is 3 ⁄& a 1/2 and despite looking like she is only 1 it is time to move her baby toys on. It will also be a time where I look at what she plays with and cull other stuff. Miss C will also be having this done.

I know what they like to play with you only have to look at the floor in the lounge or their bedrooms and I will take my cue from there.
It won’t be happening fast. I will take my time and work through it. THe trouble I have is that although the girls will often not play with something for ages they will then pull it out and play again, like blocks. So I need to think so I don’t regret it. And we will see how it all pans out.
Hi! I found you through Casaubon’s Book and have enjoyed reading your blog.
Clutter is my HUGE downfall. Every nook and cranny of my house, my garage, and storage building is filled. Sometimes it is all so overwhelming…not just in the fact of just being there, but in that I want to clear some of it out and don’t know where to begin.
I have decided to start with a room that was once used as my office, but is now a pantry-slash-office-slash-junk room. Hopefully, if I work on it in bits and pieces, each and every day, I will accomplish something.
