2. fireplace screen & tool set--given to my parents (we got rid of our fireplace during our ongoing kitchen/living room remodel--have i mentioned i am living in a construction zone???)
3-4. 2 pint glasses--given to my brother (he asked for them)
5. purse with tags still on it--in a box designated for an upcoming clothing swap i am participating in
6-9. 4 pairs of flip flops in well-loved, but still usable condition--donation box
10. cute sachet set (with very little smell left)--donation box
11. clutch with broken clasp--donation box
12. ill-fitting baseball cap--donation box
13. sunglasses with scratched lens--donation box
that's it for today. writing everything out like this kind of has me wondering if donating less-than-perfect items (like the broken clutch and scratched sunglasses) is okay. i mean, they're still usable, but definitely not in great shape. should i be tossing instead? i so hate throwing things in the garbage. what do you think?
and feel free to post your lists in the comments section if you are playing along!

So far I've got 3 big bags full of clothing (some still with the tags) and shoes (many are dress shoes bought for weddings I was in and in perfect condition, just not my style). I will donate all. I have soooooo many baby boy clothes/blankets/etc. that I'd love to donate, but will stash in case we have a baby boy #2 in the future or a baby boy nephew in the future. Honestly, I'm not much of a hoarder, so I'm having some trouble finding other things to discard of. I hate clutter! I am going to take my stash of plastic grocery bags (we normally use cloth) to the store later and put it in the recycling container. I love your blog and enjoy reading mostly about Lucy and now Hudson! DH wants chickens so badly, but I haven't given him the okay yet. We have friends who have a little land from us down the road and have been taking Luke (16 months) to see the chickens and buy some eggs from them. =)
I hit 47 and am going to call it good. I've taken pictures and posted here:
