Happy De-Crapping Day! This holiday can serve not only our mental health but the needs of others. Let’s go through things that someone else can use seasonally. It’s spring. So for Boston it’s rain wear, galoshes, and pretty dresses.

Love the new studio.

In my closet now. Also, getting rid of all those empty jars I've been accumulating.

Ah. Jars. What is it about jars and the need to keep them? I tend to make sure we have a spare pickle jar, jam jar and caper jar. The. Eventually they get used for bacon grease, or making salad dressing. Pel would keep dozens. So glad some things still come in glass!! Thank you for sharing!!

We SO need to de-crap. Been in same house for 26-ish years, 3 kids and many pets. Plus, both sets of parents moved to CCRCs and we got showered with more (but mostly nice) crap.

Still, we’re seriously talking about renting a dumpster and purging. My hubby jokes about lighting a match, but I’d like to be more selective. We have my great-grandmother’s silverware from 1860. That’s the good stuff. Maternity clothes from the 90s? Not so much. 🤪

I totally get you. I am an only child with four parents and was the only grandchild. I have stuff on stuff on stuff. Nice stuff. Crappy stuff that means something to me, crappy stuff that means something to my husband or kids. I am also a bit of a sap and a nostalgic. It's a curse. I have Liz Lang maternity pieces that I am convinced one of my three daughters will be glad to have someday...maybe?
