Hi Jacquie!

Boy, I almost could have written your post!  I'm trying to do some serious 
decluttering too, and have been a packrat at heart for all my life.  I think 
I'm finally getting to the point where I can't take it anymore and need to 
have space in my home to breathe.  Hopefully, the more I do, the easier it 
will get, and I'll also not let stuff creep back in, which is so easy to do.  
I recently went back to using Julia Morganstern's "Organizing from the Inside 
Out" to help me decide where to find a home for everything and for help 
purging, etc.  Too bad we don't live near each other so we could help each 
other in the tossing.  My DH is the same exact way as yours.  He'll just 
pitch stuff without a second thought, even if it's something we truly should 
keep.  He's not very discriminating.  LOL

I'm in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  I have 2 sons - soon to be 19 and a 4 YO, 5 
in April.  
Yep, our bedroom is probably the worst, too.  (well, the absolute worst is 
probably my older son's BR, but it's in the attic, so we don't have to look 
at it. LOL)  I'm determined to get my BR cleared out.  I have an interest in 
Feng Shui, and having a nice clear, serene bedroom is so important.  But it 
definitely is the easiest place to dump junk!

Welcome, and you're right - this group is great!
