Growing up hearing the phrase "Pack-rat" , having a mother and grandmother that kept an immaculate home I have anxiety attacks watching that show. My family borders on the opposite end of the spectrum....neat freak and clean freak... lol Watch that'll be the made for tv series. ha!No namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10271263985764088812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439316272064745899.post-21908314522873959022011-01-06T11:41:09.964-06:002011-01-06T11:41:09.964-06:00I have only seen the show a couple of times and ju...I have only seen the show a couple of times and just about died! I have a lot of stuff but nothing close to that!! I hope you are enjoying your cleaning out and organizing, it does feel kind of good to free up some space. :)michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17757389045798739976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439316272064745899.post-60440956533670732412011-01-06T11:15:15.716-06:002011-01-06T11:15:15.716-06:00I come from a long line of pack-rats... not extrem...I come from a long line of pack-rats... not extreme dirty hoarders... but downright TOO MUCH STUFF. So about 10 years ago I started tossing stuff, it's sooo hard. But man was it worth it!<br /><br />I have found with home decor, the only way to "shop your home" for some frugal re-dos is to actually HAVE stuff. There have been things I've regretted throwing out :(<br /><br />Anyhoo... organization is my main goal this year. We moved cross country and I haven't been able to get back to being as organized as I was, but I'm sick and tired of wasting time looking for things!!<br /><br />So yah, I've been spending tons of time browsing the blogosphere for ideas... perfect time of year for it!Tyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08355333548750405565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439316272064745899.post-41359758944844931932011-01-06T10:41:47.137-06:002011-01-06T10:41:47.137-06:00I have this fear that I will end up on that show. ...I have this fear that I will end up on that show. Not that my house is anything remotely like that picture... thank God. I have a room in my basement that has a closet inside of it, and needless to say I never want anyone to go in there because I might meet the criteria to be on the show. I'm expecting our fourth child in March and I'm determined to clean out those rooms for good. Please put up organizing ideas because I'm sure everything will not be garbage.Friashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12168635493397633171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439316272064745899.post-79834685689354428032011-01-06T10:29:39.294-06:002011-01-06T10:29:39.294-06:00Oh yeah--My attic looks like a home accessory stor...Oh yeah--My attic looks like a home accessory store threw up in there. I really do purge a couple of times a year--but it doesn't look like it. Because YOU NEVER KNOW! It might work in my next house!

Now here comes the some what morbid part to my new years de-cluttering, I have been going through my things and each one I pick up and I think to myself "Is this something someday when I die my kids might want or will they just think oh my gosh why did mom keep all this crap?" If I think it isn't worthy of passing down and it is something I don't even look at every single day, I either toss it or list it for sale.The Vintage Farmhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13201067932252143566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439316272064745899.post-62017095851153436472011-01-06T09:40:36.749-06:002011-01-06T09:40:36.749-06:00OMG, I'm SO glad that isn't your house, be...OMG, I'm SO glad that isn't your house, because before I read the photo caption, I was reading your post & thought "ooohhh, no.........someone is in denial.
