Given our big move from C to B, we are in full on cleaning mode. This past weekend, we gave away 10 bags of stuff – toys, shoes, jackets, and clothes in good condition. We also threw away stuff we do not need. And we sold some furniture we do not need anymore. I feel a huge sense of relief seeing less full closets and much emptier rooms. Cleaning is cathartic.
We also explained to M that we do not need to hoard toys that we no longer use. It will be so much better to give toys to other kids that want them but do not have them. She seemed eager to do that which is a good sign!
But this whole process begs the question, where did all this stuff come from? Note to self is to pause and think if we really need something before we buy it..easily said:-)
