View Full Version : I was forced to declutter

and am oh so grateful!

My family moved last month, and I didn't bring a thing with me that I don't need!

Our new home is about 500 sq. ft. smaller than our old home. Wonderful, considering we had 2 junk rooms at the old place.

Everything is organized and will stay that way. The only thing I have to work on now is my desk.

It is such a free feeling. I used to do FlyLady, but felt so overwhelmed with all the decluttering I had to do. Now my life is decluttered and I am free to have a clean, happy home.

Now I just need to fight the yard sale bug that is nipping at me. With the weather being so nice, I am tempted to go buy more junk. :p

Thank you for sharing that Amy~:)

I had a close girlfriend ask me if I want to go to yard sales with her, this summer, once they start...:eek: I will go for the ride, but must resist the need to buy more stuff. <unless it is a fabulous deal and something we actually *need*> ;)

I will say, I NEED to go, my walls are bare and the echo is horrible. I am NOT a good person to decorate, but I am going to try. So, since I hate paying full price for anything, yard sales will be it for me.

I need to control myself though. I tend to go overboard when it comes to toys. I see something that is a good deal and just can't refuse. UGH.

LOL! I did that a year ago when we moved, and now I'm feeling totally cluttered up again!

Oh, yeah, and FlyLady is cluttering my email!!! I need to unsub from that group b/c it's way too much for me!
