I am doing a challenge on the Minimalist Babycenter Board where we get rid of at least something everyday until September 1st. I will be logging it here:

Day #1
-Went through a bag, put stuff away and only found one item to get
rid of. I tried to toss some CDs but DH wanted to keep those. Now I am
going through the living room.
Items.
1. Jean Material Bag- Donate
2. Ikea Plastic Bag Holder- Donate (We are now only using reusable bags)
Day #2
-Today I went through a laundry basket, and then I started going though things in the kitchen. From today's work I have half a big black garbage bag full.
1. Pair of Ikea lace curtains (They used to be hanging in the archway between the kitchen and the living room.)
2. Old Towel
3. Waterbottle
4. Coffee Cup
5. 2 Cereal Containers
6. 1 Funnel
7. Pull-Up Bar (We haven't used it in a while since DH works out at the Gym instead.)
8. Pair of Mr. & Mrs. signs (We bought them for our wedding but I never used them.)
9. Random Bottle Parts
10. 2 old pillows
11. Pack of toothpicks
12. Broken Iphone
13. Broken doll & stand
14. Dh's box of bachlor dishes that he never opened while in the dorms
15. New in box convection oven (We haven't used it for a year we probably never will.)
16. Wipes warmer
17. Random lid to a pot that we no longer have.
It is just bit by bit to become minimalist. It's a marathon not a race. Eventually we all will get there.
