I can so relate to your post and tell you, I...Jody,<br />I can so relate to your post and tell you, I am nearing the end of my household purge and it feels great! I moved into this house with a 3 month old baby and never conquered all those extra boxes. Almost 7 years later, my basement flooded and I feel it was a blessing. I was forced to conquer all the clutter and feel such a relief in taking back my home!<br /><br />Good luck, Jody! If I lived closer, I'd be happy to come help.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15733573117110156505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-72303094626900702952012-01-03T12:42:12.555-05:002012-01-03T12:42:12.555-05:00Even though you were literally talking about boxes...Even though you were literally talking about boxes when you wrote, "just take it one box at a time," I couldn't help thinking what good advice that is for any challenge we're facing.<br /><br />Sending you prayers, hugs and cheers of encouragement as you settle into your new home and wade through the boxes - literally and metaphorically. =)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09516298467275236388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-25236224166449818202012-01-03T09:17:07.273-05:002012-01-03T09:17:07.273-05:00Good luck to you in your new home!Good luck to you in your new home!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128596096403470704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-3578967415196544142012-01-03T02:27:07.318-05:002012-01-03T02:27:07.318-05:00I too have held on to more than I need.

(Found a consignment store for decor.) Went through all the boxes in the attic. Half of it didn't know I had cause the hubbs never brought it down once it went up. Living in a very small house that was the only place for holiday decor. So that is my goal also-to live more simply.Kareyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16306131469698391877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-3367623904908409152012-01-03T00:58:08.082-05:002012-01-03T00:58:08.082-05:00I don't think I could have explained the way I...I don't think I could have explained the way I feel about change any better.

Kids are grown, married and yes..out of the house. We accumulated WAYYYY too much "stuff" though, throughout the years and I was raised with the mentality of emotionally clinging to all of it. Soo when the hub retired and we were moving to our dream place (Florida) we knew we were needing to down-size as we also were moving from the midwest. I used the "want/need" idea. Don't know if this will work for you as, as you said you have all those kids and the age/spectrum with them. I so much enjoy reading your blog! I pray the flu has left your house!
