the 7-day toy cure

I'm a-doing it!

I'm not a huge fan of online de-cluttering or organising tutorials, but this is one I'm happy to try out. We have, as I'm sure many families do, TOO MANY TOYS.
Could there be a more shockingly First World problem?

I'm quite good about a (fairly) regular clear-out, but as with the clothes mentioned yesterday, until now I've always wanted to keep things for my youngest growing up, or toys which have an emotional value - either for the person who gave them to us or the stage in their lives my kids played with them.

But now that Sunday's outgrowing toys as rapidly as she is clothes, it's time to do a real cure.

I'll let you know how it goes ... and feel free to start it anytime yourself, I'll update links to the daily (gulp) 'assignments'.


Day One: Create an Outbox and Touch every Toy

Day Two: Touch every Toy cont. (it sounds a little creepy doesn't it?)

Day Three: Arts & Crafts Supplies (I did this already last month. Yay me.)

Biggest challenge I foresee: keeping the 'Outbox' safe from prying eyes and hands.

Nothing suspicious about this right?
