Our home is large, about 5,000 square feet, and we have lots of storage. Even so, there are times when it seems every shelf is stuffed full and every closet is packed. This makes me crazy, and so I start purging. I live with three pack rats who would like to keep every item they've ever touched. My husband's philosophy is that if it's out of sight then it doesn't matter how much clutter there is, and besides he "might need it someday." Our twins think a little differently. Our daughter gets sentimentally attached to everything. She has all the corsages, all the dresses and about three million pictures. Our son, on the other hand, just doesn't mind clutter and seems to function pretty well in total chaos.
I crave order, so I am constantly editing our home. Since we just put the house on the market, I am being ruthless. But you know what? It feels good. I should have done this years ago.
