Decluttering Challenge, Week 13

November 15, 2010

Many of my long term readers know that I have an eBay business, which I am currently trying to downsize for two major reasons–first it simply takes up too much of my time for the little monetary return I get and second, it takes up so much space!  Space that I need now that we [...]

Decluttering Challenge Week 10

October 25, 2010

I saved all the clothes from my first daughter in hopes that my second daughter could wear them.  There are two problems with this plan.  First, the girls were born in two completely different seasons, one in late fall, one in late spring.  Second, the first one grew very fast the first six months and [...]

Now, I just need [...]

Decluttering Challenge Week 7

October 4, 2010

Somehow this week got away from me.  My son is doing a walk-a-thon for school.  His school requires that he make $375 in donations; whatever he does not earn, we have to pay out of pocket.  So we were busy getting donations; we stood outside a few stores that the school and store allowed, and [...]
