We woke this morning needing to remove 39 items from our home to reach our goal of 2016 items gone in 2016. So what did we do?? We decided to go through the magazine holders that have been stacked in the kitchen and removed 37 magazines, 1 magazine holder, and 1 pair of thermal undies – I know the undies seem odd in the dead of winter. They have been in the drawer for years and not worn.
Can you tell we subscribed to this magazine for years? Some were from 2007! John and kiddo #2 have Celiac Disease, diagnosis was in 2003. It was a challenge at the beginning with limited resources available so we subscribed to many magazines over the years. We went through these looking for any special recipes that we just had to keep. 15 recipes made the cut. Most can probably be found online now. The amount of information on the web is mind-boggling!
With the removal of these magazines, WE REACHED OUR GOAL OF 2016 IN 2016!!
Here is a breakdown of the numbers for the year:
- January = 603 items
- February = 121 items
- March = 100 items
- April = 172 items
- May = 103 items
- June and July = 39 items
- August = 19 items
- September = 147 items
- October = 30 items
- November = 424 items
- December 258 items
