That pile gets spread out, and I have to start all over!

I am always purging - I hate clutter! The house feels so much lighter once it is out on the curb :) sslm on "How often do you go through and get rid of junk/clutter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-through-and-get-rid-of-junkclutter#post-518436 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 20:10:43 +0000 sslm 518436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I love decluttering! It feels so liberating. With clothes, if I haven't worn it in a year it goes (unless it's something like a party dress). With other stuff I just have to be ruthless. If we've never used a gadget we get rid of it. We really need to do a big clean of our basement storage.

I'm so sick of the clutter but hate throwing things out.

I don't like clutter so it's worth the effort to me. cascademom on "How often do you go through and get rid of junk/clutter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-through-and-get-rid-of-junkclutter#post-518066 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:20:20 +0000 cascademom 518066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I decluttered a lot right before we set up the nursery. Now as I'm 5 months pp, I've been cleaning up my sweaters and stuff I don't want to wear anymore. I recently organized our paperwork since it's been piling up on the kitchen table. I'm an archives and records manager, so this is my job, but I don't do it enough at home. I want to take a day off and clean all things, make purees, and organize. That's my idea of an awesome PTO! autumnlove on "How often do you go through and get rid of junk/clutter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-through-and-get-rid-of-junkclutter#post-518041 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:07:20 +0000 autumnlove 518041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not often enough!!! singingbee on "How often do you go through and get rid of junk/clutter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-through-and-get-rid-of-junkclutter#post-517984 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 15:37:35 +0000 singingbee 517984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not often enough.

Sometimes it's easy with LO because she will help me, but sometimes not so easy depending on what I'm going through. ladyfingers on "How often do you go through and get rid of junk/clutter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-through-and-get-rid-of-junkclutter#post-517957 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 15:14:01 +0000 ladyfingers 517957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When it starts to bug me.

Is it weird that I find it fun?! The extra *stuff* is a mental burden, and a neat house that holds only the things I need and like is soooooo nice! fussygal on "How often do you go through and get rid of junk/clutter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-through-and-get-rid-of-junkclutter#post-517502 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 12:15:58 +0000 fussygal 517502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm a notorious junk purger! I go through my closets a few times a year and almost always have a Goodwill pile going near the front door. Still, I really want to get rid of more stuff in our living room and random drawers and closets. It's harder with DH because it wouldn't be very nice if I got rid of a lot of things without asking him first :) matador84 on "How often do you go through and get rid of junk/clutter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-through-and-get-rid-of-junkclutter#post-517478 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 12:06:34 +0000 matador84 517478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No clutter so I feel good! It drives me crazy that DH doesn't open mail in one place, leaves envelopes opened and sitting out--I have to be like throw it away as soon as you open! Our leaning lady is amazing at consolidating if any clutter is around.

I am going through everything else now as we are packing. I see a big trip to Goodwill for us. We have so many wedding presents still in boxes and we won't use them. mrbee on "How often do you go through and get rid of junk/clutter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-through-and-get-rid-of-junkclutter#post-517453 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 11:56:46 +0000 mrbee 517453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We're in a huge decluttering process now! Hope to own half as much stuff by the time we move... .twist. on "How often do you go through and get rid of junk/clutter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-through-and-get-rid-of-junkclutter#post-517446 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 11:52:02 +0000 .twist. 517446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I definitely try to do it as needed. Although, there is no better feeling that going through an entire closet and getting rid of a bunch of junk and re-organizing it! haha I always feel so accomplished! I need to clean out our office. It's going to be turned into the nursery, so we really have to get a move on with that...

We are moving soon, so when packing I think I will make a point to get rid of a ton of stuff! I'm not a pack rat so I am so happy to do this :)
