I have been a model of clean out activity in the past couple of days. I am clearing out old clothes and shoes, and as I run across hidey holes near those, I also clean out those hidey holes. I’ve reorganized my backpack. Even reorganized shoe storage.
I found that we have three umbrellas, one of them, a travel compact size. Umbrellas are pretty stupid. I never carry them and once every few years, I wish I did carry one.

DH has really gotten into cooking and baking bread. Thus, he continues to collect cookware. Granted, AllClad from the thrift store that he cleans up like new is admirable but still yet another category piling up. I did finally get him to agree that we probably need to move before we get any older and that will require some serious unloading of stuff once again so we should get started. Yesterday, I found the last of MIL's frog collection and listed on Marketplace for $10. At least 20 people responded with interest which totally amazed me. SOLD immediately.
It’s great that the frog collection is gone and so many actually wanted it!
I've been dreading cleaning out this one closet under the stairs, where I've stored tons of boxes from when I moved into my place about 10 years ago.
The thought of going in there in all the dustiness makes me put it off. Maybe I'll get to it in December!
Hello, Zenlife! I do find that the colder months are more conducive to decluttering for me, although I'm not sure what area you live in or whether you have a cold season or not. Welcome, in any event.
Ditto to the welcome! Yes, some things are easier faced in winter for me.
