By the time you save something like toys that long, maintenance, space, cleaning them back up it isn't worth it to me. My kids barely played with the toys my husband had from his childhood. Most of mine went to my younger sister except for a dollhouse my daughter played with. Like all decluttering I consider it a matter of how much room you have - and we don't have the room :). I love this Diane. Your group sounds fantastic. Hi Joann,

About three years ago I decided to make more time for myself and joined a womans group that meets every Sunday afternoon and we do something different together. I have made some great friends from this group and sometimes we get together for other activities too through out the week. I used to think it was best to relax and just rest but now I see it differently. I also changed jobs to make my life a whole lot less stressful. I now dont think that it is selfish to do stuff without my family .l now know that it makes me a better mom, wife and person. I can relate to this post.

It would not have taken up much space to keep them - and our grandsons think it is fantastic that they are playing with toys that mommy "played" with. It is neat to go through the small box of things I kept - plaster handprints - ragdoll puppet for one time when our youngest was sick - stuff like that. Wish I'd kept more.

I put my de-clutter project up. It is under my daybook entry. Come by and see what I am up to today. Blessings, Sherry I think your right about things weighing you down and keeping you from enjoying simple things like a walk etc. or having fun.
