40 bags in 40 days...Update!

Is it possible that I've already lost track of how many bags I've gotten rid of? Here is a list of what I can remember:


  • 1 bag of stuffed animals
  • 4 bags to the Goodwill.  (after I wrote this list and after the trip to Goodwill, I realized I left a few things out of the bags, so at least 2 more bags are ready to go!)
  • 1 bag ready to go to Cradles to Crayons
  • 1 bag ready to go to a used electronics event at the school
  • 1 bag of paper recycling (empty out coupon inserts & other random papers!)
  • 1 bag of expired & old stuff from a closet
  • 3 bags of trash/recycling: broken toys, old containers, etc. I recycle as much as possible but some of it is just trash...which makes me wonder why we have it anyway!  


So I can remember 9 bags, which isn't too bad, I know I'm missing a few though.  I'm hoping to keep track of of the remaining bags just a little bit better!  Right now I'm really focusing on closets, cabinets & tables.  I went through my linen closet & rearranged/organized-it's like a whole new closet!  By removing things we didn't need, were expired or I knew we'd never use, I feel like I've gained a ton of extra closet space!  I'm also going through cabinets in the kitchen & getting rid of extra mugs, old cereal, etc.  More cabinet space in the kitchen is never a bad idea!

How is everyone else doing?  If you're playing along, let me know what you're getting rid of!  If you're planning to get rid of gently used children's clothes, don't forget I've teamed up with Cradles to Crayons and the Springfield Mall to host a collection from March 8th-30th!  Details are HERE.
