I with you sunshinebub. I started reading and was inspired to clean out all the junk. You can now look in any closet or drawer, they are neat as a pin. I went through it all and all those things I "might need down the road" went into the donation pile. I figure I'll run to Goodwill myself and buy it again if I need it that bad. This forum has such great tips; I love it!

I mainly am a lurker, here, but welcome you. Having read your post about a cleaning routine and having three children under seven--I think that's what you said--you'll fit right in! Folks are great about sharing their tips and "tried and true" solutions.

that's great, that you're feeling so revved from your efforts.

Making progress toward any goal is always energizing, but when it's a decluttering goal, the extra space (physical & mental) you get doubles the impact.

I need to get re-energized at home. Bcs stuff just keeps coming in. (I need to tie my daughter up and stick her in the corner of a room, or something, bcs every week she brings in a small box worth of stuff, what w/ school projects, etc.)

Let us know your progress now and then; it's really inspiring to the rest of us.

Welcome! This site has been great for me as well. The kitchen is a hard place and I'm glad you're making progress.

I'm doing a major decluttering too and I find I feel lighter and freer so I know exactly how you feel. It's amazing how much junque we collect even when we're careful. There is a lot of good advice here.
