Let's Work on Decluttering the Attic Before It Gets Too Hot!

I don't know about you, but I don't like to go in the attic when the weather gets too hot. So, today was the perfect day for us to declutter and straighten the attic. I have to be honest that we really cleaned out our attic when we moved 17 months ago, so we don't have that much junk up there. It does tend to be a "catch all" though in the winter months, so I've found that a little tidying in the spring will last until at least October.



So, get rid of those old love letters and cards, broken chairs, 10 year old tax records, old baby clothes, moldy rugs, useless tools, old towels and sheets, extra blankets, anything you no longer need. If you haven’t used it for the past 2 years, chances are you don’t need it, and perhaps someone else could make use of it. You might keep in mind while your decluttering to look for things you can freecycle, sell on eBay, or yard sale. I made $300 selling items on eBay last year that we no longer needed. Now, THAT was fun!
