I took an "online break" for a little while to focus on the kids and my home. I am also in my 33rd week of pregnancy and I have been doing some major nesting. I did a spin off of "40 bags in 40 days" from Faith and Family live. You know what I figured out? I have accumulated so much stuff over the past 11 years of parenting that it is sinful. There is nothing like having company over to press you into cleaning and de-cluttering. I used the month before my baby shower in November to purge. So here are my totals so far:
15 boxes to Catholic Charities
4 boxes to family
3 boxes to my daughter's therapy center

A trailer full and Suburban full to THE DUMP. That was the most convicting part. Seriously. I had that much JUNK AND TRASH in my house. It was liberating but I'm not done. We are in the process of a possible move:( I am not moving most of this stuff with me. Why wait for Lent? I am posting some before and after pictures later. You would not believe...
