Thanks for starting this thread and for the 2012 thread! It really helped stay on task through most of the year. It's crazy I got rid of so much and there's still more to go through. My goals for this year are the desk & closet by the front door, my dresser and then the storage space we have on the basement. We also have a storage unit off sight - once we make room downstairs for things we really want to keep, I am confident we'll be able to get rid of a lot of what is there.

Happy New Year!!

Marking my spot!

This is top on the list of things to completely accomplish in 2013.

I'm in! Our house is a wreck. Seems we still have boxes that are unpacked in the garage from when we moved here (7 years ago). Took a bunch of stuff to Salvation Army last weekend. More to go next weekend - desk, glider & ottoman from baby (who is now 3 and has bunk beds in his brother's room) room. Also cleaned the playroom this week and have a bag to go from there.

Books are next. Boys got a bunch of new ones for Christmas - need to clean out the old ones. Those get sent to their school/daycare.

Doesn't help that we're in the process of making built-in bookshelves. The living room is a disaster at this point. lol

I won't say our house is a wreck but I slowly move things in and really purge a lot. Too much stuff accumulated over 30 years in one place and have to move quickly was a huge disaster!
DH was out of the country and our house sold fast so I had 30 days and 2 teenagers to pack up . Add in closing on a new house! with no appliances and needed to paint and clean carpets.
All I can say is that it has been an experience. We still have about 1/4 of our warehouse (900 x 1800) filled with stuff to go thru. Half of it belongs to adult children who still live in apartments.
I'll keep checking in and Good Luck!

Trish.Glenn · 01-01-2013, 09:11 AM

I kept reading the 2012 thread hoping I would join in and start. I own more stuff than anyone should! I am committed to this is 2013 but it will be so hard! Good luck to you all ( and to myself as I am going to need it)!

dsneprincess · 01-01-2013, 09:19 AM

I'm in. I really need to do this again. I found the 2012 thread at the end of the year & I did get a full car load to Goodwill & 2 separate bags out yesterday before year end, but I have a long way to go. 1st priority is kitchen clutter & some sort of organization for freezer & food cupboards.

donac · 01-01-2013, 09:34 AM

I am in for this. I would like to spend 15 minutes a day organizing things.

BernardandMissBianca · 01-01-2013, 09:36 AM

Welcome aboard Dona!

IBelieveInTheMagic · 01-01-2013, 09:45 AM

This is a huge goal of mine too and a very high priority for this upcoming year!

I've been telling my DH that I'd like to start with one room and go through each one, top to bottom, organizing, donating things we no longer need, and then complete it with a thorough cleaning.

I'll be reading with you all

How does this work? There is SO much stuff I want to get rid of!

Patience · 01-01-2013, 10:39 AM

I went through my 5 year old's toys about a month before Christmas and donated the ones I pulled. I have also gone through her old clothes and shoes and donated them as well. My husband is installing two shelves in her closet to hold her Lego sets and the larger toys she received for Christmas and I bought an over-the-door shoe organizer to hold her Barbies and Polly pocket dolls. Next up, my closet!

jkCT · 01-01-2013, 10:44 AM

This is such a good idea! I'm well on the way to my health resolutions and feel good about those happening, but I really need to de-clutter the places that I always close the door to when company comes over! Maybe if I have a place to report my progress it will actually get done!

Disneylush · 01-01-2013, 10:50 AM

I am in!!

Started this morning with the front closet. I found 19 empty shoe boxes and lots of purses/ bags/ coats to sell.

we will see how much I can get rid of and how much I can make

1 bag to recycle
0 bag to trash
0 bag to donate
0 money made
