    Spent the weekend with my son cleaning out his room for his big move to Silicon Valley. 90% of discarded items were repurposed, donated or recycled.

    I'm preparing for my home de-cluttering challenge by recycling some cardboard boxes from work to put the items into. Marking the boxes-recycle, donate and trash. I'm also researching charitable organizations that accept donated items so I have an idea of what can be donated or reused. Lastly, I'm asking my nieces if they'd like to help and reward them with a trip to a local farm to pick out pumpkins (and produce) for upcoming pumpkin carving party.
