Charmion, if you try to set a pace of a room every two weeks I think you'll be disappointed--it is a difficult job, and there may be some negotiation involved. Unless you can have the Salvation Army truck back up to the door and load everything in, you might want to set a smaller goal and see how long it takes to reach it. Just a thought--your mileage may vary. I have a lot of stuff in trunks from the family in Connecticut that hasn't even entered this process. I'm working on the most recent generations now, my kids and me, and my parents. We'll get to the greats and grands after this.

I have to mow the entire yard today, and put in a few more plants in the first of several veggie gardens. What decluttering can I do that is gardening related? I need to get over keeping all of the little bedding plant containers. I rarely ever get stuff started from seed in the house in the winter, and yet I hold onto all of this with the thought I'll take that frugal approach. I have a lot of them stashed in the garage and today I'm going to pull them out and put them in the plastic recycle bin. Meanwhile, I was disappointed with my neighborhood garden center--I've taken them lots of black pots over the years to recycle, but now they won't let me have any back for some transplanting I have to do. I have to buy them! I'll cruise through the neighborhood before the trash guy this week and see if I can find some (there are usually a few in sight).
