I can hardly believe the first month of 2010 is already over! I have definitely decluttered more than 31 things, although I am still working on the daily part of the challenge. 
Some of the stuff I got rid of this week:
- Two organizer units that fit over a toilet, both of which were stored under the basement stairs even though I knew we would likely never use them
- All the empty boxes from the Wii games and controllers we got at Christmas, which had been piled up against the kitchen wall but somehow never broken down for the recycling can
- Several old tops that were either too big or too small and were just taking up space in my closet, found as I searched for something to wear since I can’t do laundry right now
- A few other odds and ends from the basement that needed to be either thrown out or passed on to someone else
My back porch has quite a few things on it now, so my goal this week is to post them on Freecycle and move them out as soon as possible. I am also looking forward to decluttering our old clothes dryer and being able to do laundry again very soon!
If you’re looking for some inspiration to get organized, here are a few posts I would recommend:

How is everyone else doing with their own goals for 2010??

I really really need to join you on this, we are bursting at the seams in our house. Well done, that first month has flown by:) Jen.
i feel good about what i've been able to throw away or send to the thrift store. i actaully have bare shelf space where it hasn't existed in years! i also have a list of large items theat we will be tossing the day before we move. that feels good, cuz mentally its gone for me. still working on sorting thru clothes, toys, books and more. we can do this!
Good for you! I continue to follow along unofficially and I'm loving it. I knew if I made one more commitment to something I wouldn't follow through, but now that there is “no pressure”, I've been doing it every day and loving it!! It's so nice to clean out and organize and I brought a box of stuff that I had been collecting to Good Will this past weekend. Yes! That felt so good. I have a new box started and I put a least 1 thing in every day. This is awesome….
