Toss Five Challenge

I decided to start a toss five challenge. This challenge involves walking into a room and getting rid of five things. You can toss them in the trash, donate them to charity, or pass them on to a friend, but they must leave the house. I’ll start it off. I went to the kitchen, where I got rid of:

• A pot rack. (And boy, did that make the room look amazingly open and spacious. I wasn’t even using it, but it was dangling from the ceiling and always getting in the way.)
• A duplicate cheese grater.
• The kids’ old moon sand tub with the tiny bit of sand left in it. (No idea why that was in the kitchen anyway!)
• A duplicate colander.
• A chipped mug that I kept tucking back in the cupboard.

I’d like to invite anyone who is feeling overwhelmed by clutter or the thought of packing up the house to move to a new home to take my toss five challenge. Organizing and sorting an entire room of stuff may be overwhelming, but just tossing five things? Very doable. So, who’s next?
