The wheels of time
What: swag
Why:I picked up for swag for another hobby, Geocaching
It broke. I was going to fix it. I finally decided I was never going to fix it. It's going to the landfill

Stewie!
I'm a little blue pulling out clothes that are too small for my little one
What: a favorite shirt. Good advice!!
Origins: we bought this for our oldest about 6 years ago. Our little guy just outgrew it
Destination: freecycle free for all
We loved putting our boys in this shirt. We either got dirty looks or laughs. It made us laugh, that's all that matters

This one had some teeth!
Literally! Okay, so Mom says to me before we are meeting up a few weeks ago, "Don't let me forget, I have something for you." oooo mysterious. So after our meeting she hands me a little manilla envelope and says," here take this to one of those gold places, it's your grandfathers filings.". A-yup. That was my reaction as well. I think she just didn't want to take it on herself hahaha
So after holding them in my purse and playing I bet what I have in my purse is waaay weirder than what you have in your purse (I won every time!!) I finally took it in to a gold place. $68.70 I took the Hubby out on Grandpa. Thanks Grandpa. I wish the Hubby could have met him. He was such a neat guy :)
PS I asked the place if this was the weirdest item, she said no. I disagree that the lamp painted a gold color was weirder. Maybe the fact that the person expected to cash in on it was weirder.

Bath toys gone bad
What: part of a bath bomb volcano for the boys. The bomb was a dud.
Why kept: we might buy more. I realize I'm more likely to make them from a pinterest post than buy one for the boys
How long kept: over a year
Destination: trash it's gone!!
Baby steps. I've been moving this around for a long time. It might be useful. Hmm I wonder where that volcano is....

I may have mentioned...
I am pretty sure I have mentioned in past entries I'm over being pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I loved it... Mostly. But that is a whole 'nother type of blog. :)
What: herbal tea for pregnants
Why kept: um, I found it when I was clearing out the container cabinet.
How long kept: About 3 years
Destination: compost pile. The Boy and I had fun dismantling the tea bags (we removed the staple.
Now I had another find childhood memory of going to my best friend's house and making "witches brew" out of her mom's spices. This would have been a great base and fun for my kids. Hmm maybe I'll find another box of unneeded tea??

Those darn weeds ...er kids
What sized 12-24 month clothing
Last used: some recent, others um, not so recently used.
Why kept: some nostalgia, some were buried in The Kid's dresser he's three ish.
Destination: today we met up with my friend who I have known since we were 6. Wow! She has a boy that is two ish. We were lucky to get most of these clothes as hand-me-downs. And thankfully The Kid didn't destroy most of them :). He's a rough and tumble boy that keeps up with his big bro, who is 7ish.
This is a googled photo. It was a good sized box that we dumped, er I mean handed down. Baby C will have some nice smart wool sock and adorable fleeces this fall.

Shoveling it away
We are so deep in stuff that the shovel broke! Well, okay, not really. The boys thought it would be a good idea to stand on it. C-rr-r-a-c-k!
What: snow shovel
Last used in the winter for snow (officially) but during the summer as a prop for play. No injuries reported :)
How long kept: a few days. I thought it might be useful still until it was stepped on again.
Destination: recycle bin

I can't contain myself
What: odd sized containers or extras
Why kept. Might be useful
Last used: who the heck knows!
So I was looking for a lid to place a cut up watermelon. I couldn't find it. So I took EVERYTHING out of the storage container cabinet. The Hubby eventually found it hidden on the very top shelf. Needless to say, I reorganized my cabinet once again. This time I kept things that stacked nicely and had matching lids. I know, I know, I've been here before.
I placed the lids *in* its matching counterpart. I am hoping this will keep it orderly. I'll try to attach a photo of the cabinet.

Brushin' it off
> Last used: 5 months. Some of the little nibs on the end of the bristles have fallen off. Makes for a scratchy scalp
> Why kept: it might be useful I really like the squishy handle
> Destination. Garbage
>
> I am brushing the dust off this blog and getting back in the swing of things! I'm hoping "A" will be motivated to do it again too. I saw a quite on pinterest that has affected my attitude. I'll try posting it in a few. Basically it said baby steps.
