Hubs and D are going through the toys this weekend and D has to pick out 3 things he wants to give to other little girls and boys who may not have so many toys. His school had already started this conversation, so he was right there with us. I just have to figure out where we're going to take them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662508 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 15:49:01 +0000 Kimberlybee 2662508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not toys but purging lots of baby items and clothes. My friend is having a baby girl so giving away everything no longer in use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662502 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 15:32:10 +0000 caterw 2662502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I wish. We did a big purge a few months ago when I was pregnant and got rid of tons. I feel like DD1 will rebel if I toss any more stuff even though I still think she has too much. Hopefully all the grandparents, aunts, and uncles will listen to me about not buying the kiddos more than 1 present each (or none is fine too :silly: ). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662432 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 13:20:22 +0000 Jess1483 2662432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS's birthday was late November, so we did it then in preparation for both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662430 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 13:18:36 +0000 lamariniere 2662430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely want to! I may do it over the holidays while the kids are home and I'm off. Last year I purged before the holidays and it was great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662389 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 11:59:20 +0000 catgirl 2662389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! DD's birthday is this weekend and then Christmas so I know she will have so many new things. I've boxed up a ton - some for storage, some to sell, and some to donate. It feels so nice and clean! Too bad it won't last long... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662381 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 11:42:48 +0000 littlejoy 2662381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really wish I had time for this. I'm seriously considering hiring a babysitter for an entire day so we can clean and purge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662367 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 11:12:31 +0000 808love 2662367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, mostly clothes but I could stand to get rid of a few toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662357 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 10:49:38 +0000 avivoca 2662357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bagged up 90% of her stuffed animals (for a separate issue) but already that has helped. I donated a lot of my baby stuff before we had A, and now I'' boxing up clothes as she goes through sizes to free up space. I just need to take everything to Goodwill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662338 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 10:01:57 +0000 snowjewelz 2662338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been purging constantly this whole year to prepare for DD2's arrival and knowing DD1's getting new toys since her bday/Christmas are both Dec. The good thing is I am able to keep giving stuff to my friend with a 6 month old; and then she's giving me back newborn stuff so I never have everything in my house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662336 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 09:57:56 +0000 Chillybear 2662336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved in June so I purged a lot then and then again after we moved in based on what we could fit in the play spaces of the new house. I may try to go through some things one more time before christmas knowing whats coming and how much room I'll need to store it. plus with new baby on the way due in the days following christmas I need space to set up the swing and bassinet </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662331 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 09:56:12 +0000 knittylady 2662331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are on an insanely tight budget right now. I just purged a bin and a half of clothes and toys and made 48 dollars at our local second hand kids store! Purging is how we'll afford stocking stuffers this year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662326 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 09:49:30 +0000 Cole 2662326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to so badly but we're expecting another baby so it doesn't make sense right now. I have rotated toys though but my basement feels jam packed with things that are too young or things that aren't in rotation right now. I can't wait to find out the sex of this baby so I can go through all the clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662299 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 08:57:03 +0000 Adira 2662299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Purged before Logan's November birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662298 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 08:54:48 +0000 brownepiano 2662298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, only because I'm saving toys for the baby. In a year though I will gladly be getting rid of things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662294 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 08:48:24 +0000 mediagirl 2662294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: haha. I have a bin upstairs full of older toys we need to donate. I need to write down all the things in the bin before I can donate them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662290 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 08:45:14 +0000 Bao 2662290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Just start tossing things out the door :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662289 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 08:44:22 +0000 mediagirl 2662289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! I wish I had time. I have so much going on, I don't have time to purge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662287 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 08:38:55 +0000 FaithFertility 2662287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She has a birthday next weekend too!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662286 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 08:38:37 +0000 FaithFertility 2662286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ohhh yes! Already done!!!!<br /> Gave old clothes and some toys to a mom in need!<br /> Toys DS can have later are packed away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-a-purge-before-christmas#post-2662284 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 08:35:18 +0000 Bao 2662284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always tend to organize like crazy before the holiday's, get rid of unwanted items, and clear out/box up toys! Nothing stresses me out more than too many toys with parts all over. Right now things seem to be pretty contained, we will see how long that lasts! </p> <p>Are you purging any toys before Christmas to make room for new things? </p>
