Well, my first step to decluttering our house began in Dec. of 2008 when my husband, Jason was told about a job he might be getting. We have been waiting patiently on God's timing to see if this was going to happen.
It was starting to look like things were moving forward so we talked about him needing an office in our home that he could work from that was quiet and away from "house" noise.
After returning home from Mexico on Jan. 3rd, we decided that we would move our daughter's room to the spare room, our spare room down to where our office was and the office up to our daughter's old room. WHEW! I get tired just thinking about it.
So, we dug in and began. It's been a work in progress, but we have gotten rid of over 10 bags of trash (along with some furniture and filing cabinets that were old and beat up) and probably about the same amout to take to Goodwill. It was fun to see the trash sitting out at the curb on trash day and also filling a huge rolling cart at Goodwill. I feel lighter already and it was so much fun!
Next step: Sorting through my now spare room/scrapbooking room, cleaning out the office and sorting through papers, and cleaning up our hallway where we threw stuff from the rooms that we didn't know where it should go. I hope to be finished with all this by the end of January.
Feb. goal: basement storage area.
