pare down all my posessions

I am always getting rid of things… and yet it all creeps in again.
I think I need a new plan. I have heard that if you bring something new in, you get rid of some old things.

Target areas:
Daughters clothes – she has recieved many many bags of clothes recently as hand me downs from people as well as a birthday. The last bag I sorted through and only put away ones that worked.
My clothes… get rid of the ones that need repair… haven’t repaired anything in so long. Lose the clothes that don’t fit my lifestyle.
Daughters Toys- Once again, the birthday she got more things… and we had also pared dopwn this several times before… one just before her birthday because I knew it was coming.
Kitchen – Get rid of spare pots and dishes… start purchasing replacements for miss matches??? Donate the rest… How many coffee cups does one person need???
Office – Paperwork!!! This is my biggest hangup… once again my office is a disaster… down with paper!!!

Action:
I have about 14 bags of old clothes that need to be donated to charity.
Garage Sale with Grandma to happen within the next few weeks… Plan. Kitchen items and toys to be added to the pile in the garage… after this sale is over, we need to donate the leftovers rather then try to save them for another sale.

OK this has got to be the most embarassing room in my house. She is 4 and a half but this kid has soooo many toys and clothes, some of which are broken, don’t fit, etc.

So tonight we are doing a basic clean and tommorow we are doing a purge of first clothes that don’t fit…then of broken movies or books she no longer wants… then of toys, the biggest problem, the misc. toys the little small ones that are in her toy box drawer that always end up on the floor.

This may just be the earth version of hell I am going to pass into hehehe.

Hmmm ok… so I need to make a listm of things I need to ‘pare down’... coming soon… I’ll need to think about this :O)
