I’m a little bit of a hoarder. I admit it. I have my books stacked and piled around me, they are just part of me. I can’t imagine giving them up. I can imagine giving up clothes that have hung in my closed for four years, waiting for my butt to shrink.

And my kids have toys that there is a snowball’s chance in hell of being played with again.

That’s why I was particularly happy to read Clearing Out The Toys by Jill Cooper in the Living on a Dime Newsletter. I realized it wasn’t just about stepping on broken toys while getting the baby a bottle in the middle of the night while you have to pee and teaching her a bad new word… but it’s about teaching the kids that too much stuff is too much stuff and it’s cluttering their lives. Free them up!
