Do you ever get rid of things because of a lack of storage space? I frequently come to that hurdle, and have yet to regret throwing anything away. If it's been taking up space for a year or five, and has never been needed, how likely is it to be needed tomorrow?

You are so right, Violet. I've been debating over keeping all those homeschool books I have. I can't bring myself to toss them, maybe I should just donate them to Goodwill.
I griped to myself as I was cleaning out the little shed, "Why did I keep all this junk? What in the world did I ever save it all for?" It really served no purpose, other than taking up space.

I have been asking myself about the sheets all weekend. I took one fruit box and a shopping bag away and halved it basically. I keep trying to remember which sheets went.
I do remember moving from a house where nothing had been thrown out, it was difficult and scarey.
My husband says we are in the position to throw things out because of lack of storage atm.
I may do that with some books I have had since about age 20. I think things get too much to manage as well as the space.

We did throw out some text books after that first move. There were so many. We have bought some newer ones from the Salvation Army, they have great high school books there. I don't think we bought back as many as we threw out, I hope not lol.
