We're still outside today...time to look at all the plastic toys, balls and gear our kids have outside.

Now I have to admit I did this yesterday. I was on a roll after cleaning my front porch and weeding out videos- I was feeling the declutter love, LOL. I removed more than five items and it took longer than five minutes, but what a great feeling it was to take away all the bent bubble wands, deflated and faded balls and all the little plastic toys whose only purpose was to get thrown around the yard. I am so happy knowing I won't have to look at them or pick them up EVER AGAIN.

So take five minutes today to get five items out and set yourself free.

What's in your yard?

I had my kids go through their outside toy box a couple of weeks ago. They got rid of at least half of the stuff in there! They felt great afterwards & the best part was they weren't ticked at me for getting rid of their stuff.
