46 - magazines recycled
4 - Goodwill
7 - Husband's baby clothes returned to MIL
42 - old toiletries, expired medicine, etc. tossed from the bathroom
16 - miscellaneous stuff from the desk drawer trashed
9 - cards from my wallet gone
1 - gingerbread house in the trash (although I appreciate MIL bringing it to us after I left it there at Christmas)
25 - junk from the drawers in Henry's room tossed
150 more things out of my house!
Total: 358, 1653 left to go, $25
I've decided to track the money made as well, which is a nice benefit to this experiment. I've made $25 at Half Price Books so far. I hope to make a bunch more and bump my total items up a bit when I take some of Henry's old stuff to the MamaCents sale next month. Another big benefit, but harder to track than items gone or dollars made, is the fact that so many of the things we kept are actually where they go now. It's already getting easier to keep the house clean. And Husband seems to be on board. He's been asking me about cleaning out our files and I responded as I usually do when he thinks up a project: "Uh, knock yourself out." But this time he's actually doing it. Our new file cabinet arrives in 1-3 days.
