May purge

Cluttered, to declutter.

At a garage sale the other day, they had some nice tubs, that normally go on sale for $7, and not on sale could be up to $15.
They had them marked for $2.
I am starting to use them to put items for my family in each on, so no arguing when I pass.

Good idea.

Couldn't get one that I did to upload correctly but here is an example.

I see, thanks! I don't do a lot of seasonal decor. I do a bit for Valentine's Day and Halloween/fall, and a bit more for Xmas/winter, but I do have a lot of non-seasonal decor and not a ton of space in my home.

That's a good idea. Seeing families break apart over inheritances was what really pushed us to do a will back in 2018. I used to kind of shrug and say, "who cares, I'll be dead." But then I realized that not having things in order was setting the stage for acrimony and hostilities among our nearest and dearest when we are gone, and that would be unkind and irresponsible. Kudos to you for doing the right thing.

So true, TMS and Rosa! I do try to give things now when it makes sense, too. The tub idea is brilliant.

Two boxes and two bags of various items out on the porch for donation pickup! Yay!

I also went on a tear around the house yesterday. Three big crystal bowls that had soooo much dust on them and filled with little things that ended up in the garbage - all cleaned and going into the yard sale. Not sure how much to sell for though.

Did a literal circle around my kitchen. From pantry to junk drawer. Netted quite a lot.

Saran wrap- used for son's Science class and nothing else so it got tossed
Old old old bottle of Buffalo Wing sauce
Two bags of cat treats- cats prefer the lickable kind now
14 old batteries
Scrapes of twine
Empty roll of tape
Address tables with only my name on them
Business cards and scraps of paper
5 pencils

Went to put some laundry away in youngest's room and found four pairs of shorts he never wears that were crumpled up at the bottom of his drawer.
