at church the relief society organized a swap...a swap of clothes, toys, home decor, furniture, etc. i knew i wouldn't have time to go by during the day when it was open for the actual swapping, so i volunteered to help set it up.
i admit, i hold onto things way too long and have a hard time throwing or giving things away. unfortunately so does todd, so our closets were way too full. i took this opportunity to go through my closet more aggressively than before to get rid of those things that i was holding onto until it came back into style, until i had the right event to wear it to, or until i lost those few extra pounds and it fit like it used to. what surprised me was todd sorted through his clothes too. it started with just a few shirts, and ended up being a pile as big as mine!
every year it seems that i set a goal to get our lives and our home a little less cluttered. thank you to the relief society of suwanee ward for getting me started (and todd too!) so, when's the next swap?
