I've moved several times in the last 10 years and I'm getting tired of hauling all of this "stuff" around. We even had to buy a storage building to put some of it in. I am getting tired of it. I am getting ready to throw stuff out! Is anyone getting in a "clearing" mood?

We are in the same boat. When I moved in a few years ago with my significant other we had to get a storage unit to hold the overflow from our 2 complete households. We finally got through the sorting process and have started getting rid of and selling what we don't want.

If you have that much stuff you need to end up getting rid of the stuff. When you have so much that you need to store it, its bad.

It's hard because people keep stuff for different reasons. I have a hard time letting things go because I attach a sentimental feeling to my stuff. I'm getting much better at letting go and realizing that having stuff does not make the memory any more real to me. Good luck in your quest to "purge"!! You can do it!!

Moving is a great way to get rid of a ton of stuff that ends up cluttering your house. We try to clean out the house a few times a year just to keep the clutter down.

Once a month go through part of your home and get rid of the things you no longer use. Even a few hours on a weekend could be enough to help sort out the clutter.

My dad actually just hauled 6 totes out of my house for me as well as a couple of boxes. It's mostly baby clothes and toys so we are trying to have a yardsale this weekend to clear some of it out.
