No.476: What I Decluttered // December 2020 & January 2021
This challenge took me 16 long months, but I am finally DONE!! What an adventure. More posts to come with reflections and tips.
WHAT I DECLUTTERED THE PAST TWO MONTHS
- 15 books.
- One chair slipcover.
- 4 treat bag kits.
- 30 pieces of clothing. This included a few pieces from my closet as well as a bunch that the kids have outgrown. I sold most online and gave the rest to Goodwill.
- One pair of fake eyelashes. Gave to my sister. She’s way cooler than I am!
- One Christmas-y decorative dish. As I went through my Christmas bin, I separated a few things that I no longer need. This dish sold on Poshmark.
- A training potty. A big day for our family – six kids and they’re all now potty-trained!
- Three dress-up costumes. Sold on ebay.
- One chandelier. We switched out our dining room chandelier and donated the old one to the Restore.
- 3 broken toys.
- 2 dog toys. We passed these on to my brother’s new puppy.
- 6 empty egg cartons. My son brought them to the farm to be reused.
- One new set of accent door knobs. The previous owners left this set behind and we’re going in a little different direction. Sold on ebay!
- One pair of boot cuffs.
- One math answer book.
- One Lego set. I accidentally purchased a duplicate Lego set for one of the boys and decided to just sell it versus dealing with a return. (The return fees practically negated the purchase price.) Surprisingly, I sold it right away on Poshmark!
- 2 toddler ride-on toys. This one was bittersweet, but we don’t have any little ones to ride these anymore. We gave them to a sweet lady through Trash Nothing who is going to save them for her nephew’s baby boy.
- One exercise bike. We’ve had this stationary bike for a few years now and Mark and I quickly learned that neither of us like to use it. We sold it on Craigslist (for almost the amount we paid!) and used the money to buy a rowing machine instead. Hopefully it will see much more use!
- One coffee mug.
- 11 coloring books and notebooks. I went through all of our coloring books/notebooks and tossed a ton of the used ones into the recycling bin.
- One pair of soccer shin guards. None of the little kids have any interest in organized soccer, so time to let these go.
- 4 throw pillow covers.
- 3 kitchen gadgets.
- One makeup bag.
- One Willowtree figurine. Another piece that I’ve had for a long time and no longer display. Time for someone new to enjoy it. Sold on ebay.
