If we are ever going to finish our basement, we need to declutter. A long while back we started this process and it seems the thing to do is move stuff from one spot that we are working in to another and then another and another.
Currently our storage room is messy, it does not help that I trashed it last night looking for my high school year books.
I found shredded candy wrappers, and plastic bags, etc. Yep in the last 3 years we have caught a total of three mice in our basement. I guess in the mad dash to pack things up my DH packed foil wrapped chocolates in atleast one box.
I need to declutter, but I also have a hard time getting rid of stuff thinking in the future I might need it then since I throw it out, or donated it I will have to buy it all over again.
Sadly the buying all over would probubly happen anyway as the storage area is such a mess right now you cant find what you are looking for so you end up assuming it was tossed or used up.
One box at a time, I need to buy some clear plastic totes so we can see what is in the boxes and repack. My DH is not here to go through his stuff so I dont think I can toss anything of his without hearing his rath.
Wish I had someone to help me declutter

Many experts suggest getting help (from a family member, friend, neighbor, etc.) to help with decluttering for the main fact that they aren't attached to your stuff like you are.

In the process, I found a few grab bag items for DS birthday party in August.
I think that is enough for now so I am going to go wash my hands and wash some of the clothes??? I found in there to try to sell/donate.
