After all of my years of dieting I can't believe how easy it was to lose so much weight in one day. Josh and I got really focused on our downstairs and decided it was time to clean out what we don't use. The kids have used it pretty much as a toy graveyard for years. They were great about saying we could get rid of things. I was great about burying my hoarding tendencies (yes, I even gave away some of my old board games from the seventies!) It was tough to see some things go, but it was good to have breathing room to expand for the hobbies and the things that we actually do in our lives. Josh bagged it all up and took it to the Goodwill or left it out in the driveway for people to take. We gave away the cradle, an art table, tons of toys, dishes, frames, books...so many things that made us feel lighter immediately. Our house feels like a new place. Now it is time for new carpet and a new sofa and it will be a truly transformed basement.
