Strange Company


It's amazing the "friends" one becomes attached to when a two-year-old is a frequent visitor.

While cleaning the house the other day, the desire to de-clutter came over me. 

Some things just had to  go.

But not T.J.  He's the sweetest talking bear on the planet.


His gentle demeanor and sweet little face would be way too missed. 

No, T.J. had to stay.

As some items got tossed into the donation pile, my eyes came upon Lily.

No, not Lily. (She's shown at the top of this post.)

She's a little green frog, who sings how one can count on her.

Sweet Lily stays.

 It's so hard to harness the inner child, isn't it?

ARE YOU GOOD AT DE-CLUTTERING?

  2. Okay I am pretty good at de-cluttering too. I really basically throw things out when they come in - now I will save some things - like dancing bears - and I have a special place for them in my room - I am not much of a saver. However, my problem is I live with 3 savers of everything!!!

  3. I am horrible and it drives my hubby nuts!! Lol I get sentimentally attached to everything....and now it seems I've given my daughter my genes, as she's the same way.

    My poor hubby. ;)
    I love your bear and froggie and I would keep them too!!

  4. I really am terrible at decluttering, but sometimes I will gather up my courage and hustle things off to the Goodwill. Once they are out of sight then I am usually okay. xo Laura
