Project De Clutter my house

It's funny how one can go from living in a small 2 bedroom apartment to a 3 story townhouse and within 12 months feel as you've got too much stuff.

I think the fact we got married just over a year ago must have something to do with it. Shower and wedding gifts have accumulated but not replaced old possessions, furniture has been purchased to fill the extra space only to find something else later. Things we thought we would want to keep now just taking up space.

Somewhere (possibly on Pinterest) I saw this idea of 100 things in a 100 days or something of that sorts. I didn't have Pinterest at the time so I never saved it. The idea has however stuck with me, I've just been waiting for the right time to do it.

That time is now.

I don't have the patience for 100 days, I am going to set a closer goal of getting rid of 100 things by November 30th. That's 41 days. Now that I've told you I had better do it. I'll keep a list of it all and report back to you of how I did. There must be 100 things here I can get rid of.

I started today by trying to clean out the room that will be the nursery. I even post 3 adds on kijji offering things for free. Anything to get them out of here!

Sort of a spring cleaning project but in the fall.

Wish me luck!
