The summertime purging of things has started in our home. We are literally bursting at the seams here with unused or unwanted clothes, toys, and household items. I didn’t realize just how bad it was until this weekend. I knew I wanted to clean out for an upcoming yard sale my mom and I will be having, but our life has been such a whirlwind since Christmas and I’m just now slowing down enough to get caught up on organizing. I’m one of those people that literally feels like my whole world is out of order when my home is not organized or things are out of place. I know I drive my husband crazy with this, but I just feel so much more focused and happier when everything is in its place.
I had NO idea just how many DVDs and video games we had bought over the years. It is amazing to me just how much of this stuff we are still hanging onto. My son has outgrown most of these DVDs and we upgraded his gaming system for Christmas, so he no longer has anything to play these old games on. He also has quite a few games he doesn’t play on his Nintendo DS, so those need to go also. I think it is so great that there are websites where you can sell old Nintendo DS systems and games. This is especially helpful when you don’t want to have a big yard sale and can still make some extra cash.
I know once I am finished with this project that I will feel so much better and be able to really sit back and enjoy my summer. We have so many fun days ahead of us and being able to readily find the things we need without having to sift through so much we don’t use will be fantastic.
