Our quest to de-clutter our lives continues, one week (and one bag) at a time. You can do the same!
Every week, we tackle something else, with the bags leaving the house through recycling, donations to Goodwill, women & children shelters or the trash …
Week 43:
I admit it … last week, we just got overwhelmed. Kids & chores & a weekend at the in-laws, but we’re making up for this week!
Seeing that tomorrow is November, we figured it was time to do the closet changeover. Summer clothes go to Vivian’s room, winter clothes come upstairs.
According to organizational expert (and our “52 Bags” inspiration) Peter Walsh, you should only own clothes that are in these three categories:
* Clothes that fit you
* Clothes that make you feel good
* Clothes that you’ve worn in the past twelve months
Using those guidelines, I purged another 9 shirts, 1 pair of jeans and a sweater into the donate bag, to be picked up by Donate Illinois this week.
