Healthy Hale's Day #2

So today's tip is going to be on PURGING...let me be the first to say that this is NOT my cup of tea...will you please look at the following picture. This will help you understand that I am no expert at this!

Now, the mess on the floor is your one and only BJH but take a look at the counters and table...a MESS...full of things that should have been purged a LONG time ago (including that AWFUL orange garbage can that I almost snuck into the BIG garbage can today...dohhhh he found it:( )  Something that I am doing (and partially being forced to do because of moving ) is going through all of our junk. They say you should do this about every 5 years. Let me just tell you something...I have stuff that I have NO idea where it came from AND I have only been married for 4.5 months.

Well I am a big "keeper". I just know that as soon as I throw something away I will need it or I will be able to turn it into some amazing craft that I'll be able to pin on Pinterest. (Follow me- Meredith Rhodes-Hale! )BUT this is what is helping  me determine...if I haven't used it, or something of its sort in a year, than odds are i will not need it and it's gone. I have 3 boxes in every room. One to throw away, give away, and keep. And I'm happy to say that my throw away and give away boxes have been filling up way faster than the keep box. (This is either really good, or really bad).

SO happy purging to you!! Get LESS MESS!!
