Stuff

[bertine]

You never realize how much stuff you have until you move. And since we live in privilege, we didn't even have to pack our own stuff, so we are realizing how much stuff we have while we unpack it.

I have decided that the next year is getting rid of stuff year. Well... 10 months now, since we want to move into a house next year.

I am trying to be pretty critical on things. Do I really need an ice cream maker when I have a daughter allergic to milk? Plus I haven't used it in years. What about the salsa maker? should we put that on probation because we now have a dish washer and we didn't use it because it was a pain to wash?

I pulled out my maternity clothes and put a bunch in the goodwill box. Wrong season or I didn't wear them the first time. Plus I got rid of all the baby books since I like the one the mayo gave us better.

Anyways, we are getting rid of boxes today (hopefully), which is going to help so much. We had so many boxes.

Here is the before and after:


I just hope craigslist doesn't fail me today.

getting rid of stuff is so hard. even stuff you NEVER USE.

I'm definitely going to be doing another round of that soon.

i also want to purge. we have too much room to hide stuff and knowing it's lurking is sort of making me feel crazy. it's hard to do, though... and exhausting.
