The Pact

I was talking to a dear friend of mine the other day and we decided we have had enough of all the clutter of stuff in ours houses, stuff we never use. So we have made a pact to help each other let go of stuff we do not use. It is our Lenten resolution. My kids have closets full of clothes, most of which they will never wear. So why have it? I have done part of my kitchen and have gotten rid of lots of pans and waffle maker, deep fryer etc..., things I never use. Today I am doing the little girl's room. I am throwing out almost all of the toys. They get to keep the Dora dollhouse and things that go with it, but everything else goes. There are no less that 10 blankets on their bed. After their room is mine. My theory is that if my kids have 3 toys each, the most I would have to pick up would be 21, rather than 300 each which leaves me where I am now, A HUGE mess. Wish me luck!
