Downsizing

I have some major downsizing to do in our home.  We are considering a move on post before the baby is born and DH deploys to make things more accessible to me.  My only reserve is that it took me an entire year to unpack (mostly due to LB's birth and an abdominal surgery 6 months later) and I am not looking forward to going through that again any time soon.

To make this task (which will happen eventually) less daunting, I need to reduce our household goods by at least 1/4th of what we have right now.  That is nearly a whole room of stuff!  I've donated and thrown away about 200lbs of clothes and trash so far but there is still more that needs to be done.

We have a box in the bathroom full of half empty soap bottles... really?! Why the hell did I keep those?  They aren't even that expensive of soaps.  I guess it's time to ruthlessly throw out things we don't need and donate things we don't use often that others could enjoy.  It is time to shed this excess weight, stress, and well... crap!

Do you hold on to any silly things?  How do you keep the clutter out of your house?
