Whatever you want to call them, we have too many of them. I've tried to find happiness in buying things. As the old adage goes "You can't buy happiness" but oh how I've tried. We are overrun with things we do not use, need, or appreciate. Step one to happiness is to release. We are letting go of oh so many things in hopes that they will be appreciated and loved by others. This represents only a small portion of what we have released recently. These are all toys. We still have too many toys but one thing at a time.
We decided to participate in a consignment sale for children's things. It was the easiest and more beneficial. I ended up taking down one huge box, 9 medium boxes, 2 small boxes, and 8 large trash bags. All with two kids in tow in the snow, but that's a story for another day. We also donated some to our local thrift store and passed some things on to friends and family. We had three large trash bags from our closet alone. All clothes we have collected but do not appreciate or wear. At first it was hard to let go... what if we need them in the future? I don't wear it because I couldn't find it! Remember that time 3 months ago that X played with this for 10 minutes and was so incredibly happy??
To be continued...
