30 Days of Thanks: Day 20

TEN DAYS!! 
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!  I might actually make it! 

Day 20:  Today, I am thankful for decluttering!  When we moved into our new house in May, I threw so much stuff out and sent so much stuff to Goodwill.  I was DETERMINED to not have a cluttered house.  I LOVE stuff - especially house stuff, but sometimes it just gets so overwhelming.  Our old house was small, 1200 square feet (that's pretty small when you have 5 people living in there), and we had BIG furniture and we had STUFF - LOTS OF IT!  We also had tons of toys and I mean TONS!  My house always seemed cluttered and even when it was spotless clean it was CLUTTERED so it never looked or felt clean.  My goal in our new house is to never have that!  So today, I started decluttering again - I made a donation, sell, and trash pile.   It always feel so good to rid yourself of stuff that you don't need.  My plan is to this at least once every three months although I am considering making three bins and adding to them daily and when they are full take them to the appropriate place.  Has anyone done this before?  Do you have an amazing system that helps you keep down on the clutter.  If so please share with me!
