Jumping in. I made a little tracker for my signature to keep track. For the sake of keeping it simple I just counted the bags of clothes I donated but I think I'll count them individually from here on out. I've also gotten rid of old shoes, shoes too small for my daughter, an old slip cover, and some papers. Item 24 is an old pillow that needs to go.

Clutter focus today was getting all traces of Xmas out of sight. Throwing away perfectly good paper and oh so pretty ribbons was very hard but I kept telling myself, ''keep the best, boot the rest'' and made a slight dent in it. All traces will take longer than I thought.
1 white trash bag 4 pieces clothing

I've been OFF lately. As in, I can't concentrate. I told myself this morning I would remove myself from "One Item A Day", "One Cleaning Chore A Day" "2014 Items", and "Dish washer-upperers support". Some how it slows me down, confuses me, distracts me, I'm not sure why.
But, when I came back to SOS I said I would try the forums, and try to "balance" my life. I'm going to keep these threads and try to work it out and make new habits!
So, my goal was 6 items a day. I haven't done that. I forgive myself and I also give myself amnesty for not keeping up.
Today I threw away 2 full 2 liter bottles of flavored water. They have been sitting in my pantry for over 3 years collecting dust. They are gone and I don't have to look at them EVERY time I open the pantry door!!

Have been piling up toys to give to disabled children in Cambodia. Today the lovely woman who splits her time between here and there came to get them, she flies back tomorrow. I gave her more than she can bring, she'll leave some behind with a friend who will be going out to see her there in the spring. I told her to have her friend check in with me then too!
35 toys 30 board books 6 pairs of shoes 10 sun hats 20 outgrown summer clothes for toddlers and babies 2 crib mosquito nets 4 net contraptions for feeding soft or frozen foods to babies or kids with sensory issues!
107 out, leaves one thousand-eight hundred-fifty-eight!
Lots of other stuff is now lurking in the donate pile which I will be sending away tomorrow to Goodwill.

I got my #2 DD involved today. I ask her to go through the shampoo/conditioner products and pick the ones that she does not use. She picked 3 conditioners. They were over a year old.
