I only have two children, so they each have their own room. One of them is a bona fide pack rat. He is emotionally attached to EVERYTHING. Right now, his room has about three or four laundry-sized baskets full of stuff that has no home. Our Spring Break project is to go through the baskets and figure out how to put everything away. He's going to have a hard time with this task. I know I can go ahead of him and "quietly" get rid of a good bit of stuff. Do you have a rule of thumb about how much stuff your kids can keep? Where does it go? Also, what do I do with all of these Lego sets that have been put together and will never be taken apart? Thank you for your time! I love reading your blog!Molly Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15264638458130607115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-7826278721064591462014-03-04T23:23:59.503-05:002014-03-04T23:23:59.503-05:00Post your full list please (1-40) :-) I'll fo...Post your full list please (1-40) :-) I'll follow your lead!.

I've been thinking about living a minimalist lifestyle to avoid clutter, and this is a great way to think about how to go about it while giving to others (especially toys for kids or furniture that people may need). I'm really loving this unique challenge and I'm inclined to do 40 bags in one weekend (setting a timer) but I'll be happy if I get 10 done :) Thanks for this idea!Liz (In The Meantime Mama)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14006086724537880999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-29931762485871928282014-03-04T13:00:51.839-05:002014-03-04T13:00:51.839-05:00I love your 40 Bags posts.

So much so that I gave myself an extra 4 weeks and started a month ago. Cleaning out and getting organized has definitely helped with my winter blahs.

It was like losing weight haha. Now that it'it's time to start spring cleaning I will see what more I can do.
