Hand-Me-Downs, Keepsakes, and Too Much Stuff
If you\u2019ve got kids, you\u2019ve got too much stuff. Here\u2019s how our listener Holly put it:\n\xa0\u201cWith kids, there is truly no end to the influx of toys, keepsakes and clothes coming in, plus things they\u2019ve outgrown that need to go out.\n\xa0My three kids range in age from one to nine years old, and I struggle with what items to save for the baby to grow into. Do I really want to hold onto pajamas for him to grow into six years? The sentimentality of it all weighs on me, too.\n\xa0The constant mental space this process consumes is definitely my biggest consistent downer as a mom.\u201d\n\xa0Fear not: we are here to help! In this episode we discuss\n\xa0\n\xa0why it can be actually, physically painful to throw things away\n\xa0why decorative baskets are actually the worst\n\xa0why the giveaway and hand-me-down bins should be right in your kids\u2019 closets\n\xa0the unpronounceable but useful \u201cRFASR\u201d declutter formula\nwhy sentimentality is in the eye of the beholder\nLearn more about your ad choices.
