My theory on the whole subject is ... if you leave something just sitting around for weeks and weeks .. obviously, you don't really need it. So in order to reduce clutter, ( and to make it easier to move - on a moments notice- lol ) ... you need to purge all the garbage every so often.
Now over the weekend, Kayla actually gave these up ... voluntarily I might add. I did wait until she was back at school to toss them, just in case she changed her mind.
I do think this "quality" skips a generation. I know, I get rid of stuff all the time. My parents ... well if you look around the basement at dad's house .. that pretty much answers that question. And the girls ... they're really not on that -throw away- band wagon either. Actually, they have given me for my birthday and mothers day in the past ... a bag of trash from their rooms. Pretty much the most perfect gift ever.
Other people want fancy gifts, but give me a bag of "freshly cleaned out trash from your room" and I'm good. (an occasional box of Godiva chocolate never hurts though also)
