After going through my parents house after they passed I was driven to go through our own house and drastically purge. My mom had hundreds and hundreds of Knick knacks. It was ridiculous. My dad never threw anything out. We found bags of spray nozzles hanging from the basement ceiling. If he thought he may need it someday, he saved it. So I went through clothes, kitchen ware, collectibles that I no longer wanted, you name it. If I hadn’t worn or used it in the past couple of years I got rid of it. I gave boxes of stuff to a local church rummage sale. Anymore it’s if I don’t absolutely need something I don’t buy it. I felt so much better after I decluttered our house. That was about 5 years ago and I think I’m ready to go through it again. I need to get my husband more on track with the same though.
