Our move is only a few months away but as of last weekend, we’ve started to “purge” the house of stuff that we definitely dont want to take with us. We’ve been here for 4.5 years so that’s not an easy task.

I only plan on renting a two bedroom Apartment Home (definition: Home on top of a garage) and right now we have a three bedroom Ranch house. The third bedroom is pretty much my office/catch all/spare bedroom, etc…  And since we dont get alot of visitors that stay for very long, it serves no purpose except to collect more stuff!

Last weekend, Christopher and I went through his room and threw away one large garbage bag full of broken and or useless toys and one whole garbage bag of “baby toys” and items that would be more useful to “another little boy” as Christopher put it. The second bag will be donated to Goodwill.

I am very sentimental by nature and unfortunately that can also translate into a “packrat” so this is going to be very difficult for me if I dont keep my head on!

Anyway, besides the purge, the most important thing is not to bring anymore “stuff” into the house because afterall, we dont need anything and I dont want to have to move it!
