61 more books and games to the children's shop

124 Previous + 62 today = 186 items tossed

Tossed 3 refrig. magnets and about 20 old cards,

Total tossed so far : 56

70 more books going to the children's shop. I "think" that's all of them. It will be so nice to stop lugging those things around each time we move to a new home. I still have boxes and boxes of books, but I have to keep all of those as they are the curriculum for our school for all grades K-8 (13 boxes full - UGH - They're heavy!)

186 + 70 = 256 items tossed

I ditto hartbe and whatever Darlene had to say about being ready to lighten the load.

I tossed out 5 old Mary Kay tubes of something.
5 dead plants/leaves and their dust--not the containers or soil
3 containers of Prego spaghetti sauce that DS had opened and forgot about, I mean this is old! I kept thinking it was new stuff. Ugh. Actually dumped out the old stuff and recycled the plastic containers. I guess I want to add that since that takes more time.
3 opened lotions, more to go in a donation box that are new/sealed. I found out I can take them to some shelters or even Ronald McDonald house, but haven't called to verify.

I want to add to this donation box a baggy of hand soaps, small shampoos and conditioner. I'll know more as I gather these up and give "bottle" count. Also I'm going to go through other cupboards and drawers for these items. I no longer need so many of these items in the household.

More plastic in the recycle bin, along with cardboard, paper and pop cans. These are easy to do, hope to really get rolling on other items that I really don't need or want.

Ronald McDonald house and all food banks love those small soaps, etc.
