Need for Clean

Another interesting requirement for those of you who are considering a downsize. Spring cleaning actually needs to happen, meaning you can not just shove things in boxes anymore and store them in the garage. Spring has come and our usually daily assessment of "too many things" has been growing. We are not just cleaning away the winter but we are about to tackle another massive purge. It disturbs me a little at how much can go. I can attribute 80% of it to the kids growth. Clothes are too small and they are outgrowing some of their toys. Regardless, there is no room to sweep it under the rug. Accumulation becomes quickly evident and must be dealt with swiftly. It's nice because we are reminded to control our spending as we begin to donate another load of stuff.
