I walked out to the Donate Box yesterday morning and found this:

It’s a carseat.

A carseat that’s been embarrassing us.

We haven’t had a kid who could fit in that carseat for a very long time. Despite that obvious-to-anyone-who-knows-us fact, it had been hooked up in the back of my husband’s car until yesterday.

There’s no need to ask why he decided to get rid of it.

I’m just going to celebrate the fact that he knew exactly where to put it. Having a Donate Box in a specific place lets him go ahead and take care of the problem. No extra step of asking me where to put it. With all the Decluttering Drama that happens in this house, eliminating extra steps whenever possible helps. A lot.

Here’s hoping my AWESOME Donate Guy will take it for recycling since it’s too old to be re-used.

Ouch. We finally did it. My husband has been mentioning this for a while, but I’d successfully pretended I didn’t hear him. At some point in the past ten years, we had moths. His suits were ruined. Every single one of them. He wears a dress shirt and tie every day to work, but never […]

Sometimes, I should just declutter instead of going to the store. I find all sorts of useful stuff. We’d been lamenting the lack of “facial tissues” in our house lately, and I’d been MEANING to order more on Amazon. Really, my normally amazingly-understanding Hubby had been more than a little irritated about using T.P. to […]

I love having that chair next to my bed. It’s a little big for the space, but it’s such a comfortable place to plop down and rest. What? You don’t see a chair? Right. I guess that’s a problem. Having a chair is great, but if it’s just the base of a mountain of randomness, […]

You know one of my big strategies is to NOT organize, just declutter. It makes my life easier, helps me get started, and has made a huge difference in our home. Really, it was a game changer. It also keeps me from buying a bunch of containers I may never use. Not that I never […]
