Unfortunately my computer has been on the fritz but I seem to have used my limited
Hopefully.
I am trying to get back into the swing of things after being in sickville for so many weeks. I have a BIG to-do list before the baby arrives in early September.
Does that sound crazy? To already have a to-do list?
Maybe.
BUT.
Listen, people. It is not going to be pretty around here in August. I am going to be hugely pregnant.
Huge.
Did you know my last baby weighed over 9 pounds? I looked/felt like I was carrying a 15 pound baby.
Have I ever mentioned that I am generally crabby in August? Sad, but true. I do not handle heat/humidity well. (And that is when I am not preggo.)
So. The point of this long ramble is that my morning sickness has finally cut down to about half of my day instead of the whole day. I really need to get some things done now because I can't count on hard-core nesting in August. I plan on spending August in a swimming pool/sitting in front of a fan in my air-conditioned house.
Before the "great" illness marathon this month I decluttered my entire kitchen. I only have the rest of my house to go.
I made of goal of being done by Easter (except for the unfinished basement) and I hope I can make it.
The hardest part of decluttering for me is going through toys. The girls have SO MANY toys. And they play with them on a very regular basis. But it just seems like too much. Do they really need 40 Barbies? (That is kind of embarrassing to admit. And that is AFTER I donated some Barbies they don't play with as often. Madeline and Zella each got like 7 or 8 Barbies last Christmas from various family members.)
So I ask you, how many are too many? How do you declutter your kids' toys? What are your limits?
I really want to get this under control before baby #4 arrives and my house is inundated with a baby swing, bouncy seat, play mat, and infant toys.
Any suggestions?
(End of rant/ramble)
