40 bags in 40 days Update #5

I decided to join along in the 40 bags in 40 days challenge to help decrapify the house before baby Rogers arrives in April.  Here's how week #4 went...
Day #23: Today was another nursery working day.  I'm slowly, but surely working through my crafting stashes.  I found another box for the garbage.  So much packaging waste! - 83

Day #24: Still working through craft supplies.  More things to go.  - 37

Day #25:  Sill working my way through the nursery.  Another box of craft supplies, and just misc junk that probably didn't belong in that room to begin with. - 54

Day #26: Still working through craft supplies in the nursery.  Being 9 months pregnant, I get tired very easily, so I'm only do a drawer or so at a time.  This box of junk, although small, holds 136 pieces of ribbon, and misc embellishments that I will never use. - 136

Day #27: I decided to take a break from the crafting items and work on the nursery closet.  I found a few shirts of Joe's that were too small, so off they went. - 8

Day #28: Took the day off, and just rested and caught up my coupons before the baby is due.  I did get rid of quite a few paper/insert scraps. - 43
 

40 bags in 40 days Update #4

I decided to join along in the 40 bags in 40 days challenge to help decrapify the house before baby Rogers arrives in April.  Here's how week #4 went...

Day #17: Today I did a quick pick-up of the house before doing my weekly cleaning, and then I vacuumed the air vents throughout the house.  I also went through my craft stash and was able to get rid of another box of stuff!  - 50


Day #18:  Today I did a quick bathroom pick-up and cleaned out the kitchen cupboards.  I must be keeping up with our food supply better because there wasn't a whole lot to get rid of.  - 9

Day #19:  Today I cleaned out the hall and bedroom closet.  Needless to say, it didn't take long, since I'm pregnant, my wardrobe is pretty non-existent, and I don't really want to get rid of anything until after the baby comes, and I see what still fits and what doesn't.  I did manage to get rid of a few paper trash items from around the house though.  Here's the after of the closet... - 7

Day #20:  Today I worked on cleaning the windows, sills, and curtains.  I also worked in the nursery some more and was able to find quite the pile of crap to get rid of. - 50+
Day #21: Today I cleaned out the medicine and first aid drawers.  I don't how expired things pile up so much in those two little spaces, but they do.  Items removed - 38 
Day #22: Today was another nursery day.  More crap gone, and more baby stuff in!  YEAH!  - 50+
