I just got food safe buckets from Lehmans catalog. ALready had a big one for flour so put sugar in one and will move on to other things. They shut tight so shouldn't be a problem. Rae

Wow you ladies inspire me. We moved 3 years ago and I gave a lot away then and then we got here and I had to give things away cause this is a smaller house. And I am still working on de-cluttering. so, it takes time. baby steps sometimes. but it is very rewarding. I like to see my stuff go someplace I know will use it up or really are in need of it. that makes me feel good too. so, you guys have inspired me to keep going. Good going to all of us and I am so happy to hear that other people are in the same place I am of simplifying!!! Wow good thread!!!

YIPPIE!!! I've got several people willing to come help me haul this junk out off here! Now it's just organize, organize, organize!!! I feel like as I'm paring away the years of accumulated stuff I'm finding more and more of "ME" and that simplicity is food for the spirit. I think that living with a lot less material baggage in my life will give me emotional space to add more immaterial things to my life, i.e. classes, yoga, gym...some thing that I'm too frazzled by my own mess to do right now. BLAH!
Simple living isn't right for everyone, but I'm excited with the prospects and looking at all of the layers of my life that need simplifying and a good tidying up! A place for everything and no more than I need. I will post pics of all of the junk once its all in one place and on the way out and then of my shiny clean house once I have it all done!!!!

Thank you Alee =) I've got a bit of the crud thats going around,and am off to a turtle crawl this morning. But never the less, I'm about to go start in on the kitchen and then all of my too many comforters and linens...happiness is a tidy, usable kitchen and linen closet. And a well stocked pantry is a blessing! I want to start buying in bulk and see if we can budget better and spend less time running to the grocery mart for this or that. I have a good sized pantry, so I'm looking forward to the challenge.
