I have simplified our stuff. My house is very close to being done. I have to tackle a few things (like my dresser and organizing toys a bit more in the basement playroom).

Our house looks great. Salvation Army took 6 more bags of stuff this morning. Between donation pick ups and craigslist I have gotten rid of so much stuff it is amazing!

Our house could be listed right now with no problem! Counters cleared, trim painted, floors clean, rooms organized...

I DID IT!!!!!! I had 2 rooms and all closets stuffed to the brim with STUFF.

I didn't do before pics, but I could do after if you'd like to celebrate with me.

I trimmed down every room, every drawer, every closet, every tub, every box- including tool boxes! It is such an amazing difference. I could cry.

I grew up in a house full of stuff, so jam packed full of stuff (my mom is a hoarder) that I never had friends over and there was hardly a path to walk). This has been such a wonderful process for me and so healing and so awesome.

Thanks so much for listening, I'm so, so happy right now. If I can do it, you can too!!!!
