Downsizing possessions

[homeschoolmom]

I tell you, Cmom... I'm getting a dumpster, putting it right under my living room window... and OUT the stuff is going. Stuff just wanders in to this house, never to leave.

My husband brought home a trinket from work-- a glass globe about the size of a baseball. It has the company logo on it. He thought we could use it for school or something. My two year old is probably going to break something with it. And yet it sits here, waiting for me to chuck it.

Anyone want a baseball sized glass globe?

If there are a lot of things you don't want to part with that have sentimental meaning to you, but that you don't actually [i] use [/i] you could rent storage, and then rotate the items there, so that you can see/ have a lot of those belongings, and if the people who gave the things to you come and visit, you can still have it available to be put on display when they come to visit you in your new abode.
