Weekend decluttering

[rmc28]

I am continuing the project of moving my younger son into his own room, formerly our spare room.  He and his clothes are installed, but there is no room yet for any of his other belongings like books or toys.  Today I excavated around and under the bed and found many things! Some have gone in the bin, some have gone in the laundry, some have gone onto a shelf to sort out later.

More about my Surprise Tip Run and plans for reshelving in the comments. How is your weekend decluttering going?

It sounds like you're doing a great job this weekend and making loads of progress. I think you're doing the right thing with the children's possessions too - it's good to help them by previewing for their review and giving them the choice but you're also teaching them to make priorities and consider for themselves that things reach a point where they're no longer needed (hopefully making them better at keeping clutter under control in the long run). Even if they hang on to things that you think should go, you've planted the seed and the next time you ask they might be ready to let things go.
