40 bags in 40 days Challenge

I'm taking the 40 bags in 40 days challenge!!



This is my new junk drawer.  I was so excited that I forgot to take a before picture:)

I have already started! 4 days and 4 bags down.  I already feel so much lighter.  I have been in grad school for the last 2 years full-time as well as working full-time and have 2 busy daughters and a needy husband :) and my house has been neglected.  I am almost embarrased that I have not done much organizing and real cleaning in so long.  Well, as soon as I graduated, vacationed, and rested I was ready to go!  What will I do with all of these bags? I have some great answers.  I'm taking old shoes and clothes to a drug rehab center and woman's shelter, taking kids clothes and items to a safe house for abused children and women, giving away my kitchen items to my mom who never has enough, and throw the rest away or give to Goodwill.

Here is my 40 bag goal:

  2. under the bathroom sink
  3. my coat closet
  4. laundry room

  1. DUDE! That's a lot of trash! I like where your head is. I'm glad it's you taking the challenge and not me. I got tired immediately after seeing your list!

    GOOD LUCK!
