Her decluttering isn't insurance she won't amass more stuff but at least our house looks a lot cleaner. I'm hoping the cleanout will lead to less trips to the mall.

I decided to go through them all and ended up getting rid of 3/4 of stuff and then had an extra empty drawer in my dresser! It's a great feeling to get rid of clutter.

The most home I want is a tiny ~900 square foot condominium... I'm sure a lot of people can't imagine having that little of space, but I have maybe a couple hundred square feet over that amount now and it's much too much for just the two of us! I actually like my hubby, so having a comfy, cozy space works. ;) I've been flip flopping on giving my Mom the desk she gave me and getting a smaller one, but my husband thinks I should keep it... It's great for storage, but I also keep a lot of junk in it. :/ I ought to donate the stuff that is STILL sitting in the boxes I moved it down here in when I moved in a year and a half ago...
