At the Whitmer household there has been a little organizing going on. Typically, the month of January is not only for starting the diet but, getting organized. For the past week, I had been doing just that. I really thought I was pretty much done until I read this article.

I've found out I'm not finished. I have way too much stuff!! When we first moved from a 2 bedroom, 14x70 mobile home 6 years ago into a 1700 square foot, 4 bedroom and 2 car garage, we use to have all sorts of activities held at our house. The floor plan of the kitchen, dining and living room is open and great for hosting showers and entertaining. Now with my arthritis, at least for the past 2 years, those types of things we no longer have.
We have also thought of selling and moving and along with that downsizing. If fact, just this morning my favorite hubby had an idea that when we sell, we just get a motor home so we can enjoy whatever season and weather we wanted. Sounded good to me! So this next week I will start to go through my stuff again with different eyes.
I'm going to follow some of the rules and suggestions in the article and see what happens. I already have 5 bags of stuff to give away from the first go around.
Anyone need some more stuff???

I too am in that get rid of mode again. Only I can't really do much at the moment since we will be leaving. I'm gonna do my closet though as I'm packing. I really don't want you to move.:( We thought of the motorhome idea too before we moved here.
