ooohhhhh brownies!!!! I have given out most of my Christmas cookies and warm brownies sound yummy right about now!
As for going through the house, I started today...anything I haven't worn in 6 months is going to good will. I am also going to try and "consign" a few items, I used to do it with my kids clothing.

I had to find my desk today guess that counts. I also wormed my chickens. I actually got something done today

and no that was not my new years resolution I just actually had time to get something done

I got a lot more to do but it will have to wait untill another day!

I try to never let things get to out of hand. Because I have been there before and hated myself for it.

I put up the decorations and took down the tree Tuesday. It was a real tree, I loved it. But was tired of needles falling and getting onto my 3 & 2 yr old to "not" touch the ornaments for the 100 th time!

Straightened up the shed on Tuesday. Brought toys to our church nursery before Christmas and after Christmas. We had a garage sale at church right before school started. So I donated items to that.

My big thing is magazines and junk mail. Seems I am always throwing that stuff out, burning, or shredding it

I'm not helping because... oh, just go read my rant.

Nice!

The problem I have with that here is I don't want my hubby to throw everything in this house away. If I let her de-clutter, that is exactly what he'd do!

Yeah! I try to not let things go either, but somehow they always end up getting out of hand no matter how hard I try. It seems that I always have to de-clutter once in the summer and once at the end of the year.

I hear you on the magazines and junk mail too. The shredder is seems to constantly be running here. What I find amazing with that is how time consuming it is to open all that junk and send it through the shredder.
