Having an excess of stuff

[whitepicketfence]

I've been on an organize and purge kick lately. The day after Christmas, I went though all the kids' toys. I packed up all the baby toys in a storage bin and moved them to the basement. I tossed any junk or broken toys/books and reorganized their toy closet (mostly art supplies, Play Doh, games, puzzles, and toys with small parts). They got so much crap for Christmas and DD1's birthday is in less than 2 weeks so I know they'll get even more.

My next big project is to tackle the basement. It's becoming our dumping ground for anything that we don't know what to do with. I'd like to have a big garage sale this summer so I need to start sorting through everything we're storing down there and need to reorganize the items we need to keep. The junk pileup down there has gotten out of control over the past year or so.
