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.

> 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.

Searching for my missing piece
What: several bags of mateless socks, pieces of fleece used for doggie beds,
old jeans (all laundered)
Why kept: buried in the sock drawer, might be useful, and waiting for the
trip to the textile recycling bin.
Destination: textile recycling
How long kept/last used: most were last used in the last two months except
the sock without a mate.
I gave up on trying to find several of the sock's mates. Heaven knows I have
plenty of socks.
Day two of back in the saddle... Woot! I'm proud of myself.
