Ok, I've been lurking...

I'm going to join in. I thought we may be moving, so I have been throwing out like a mad woman. I have no doubt that I threw out that much already between, tiny toys, clothing, and knick knacks. I just didn't take the time to count. Well, turns out we are not moving just yet, but since I've started, I'm going to continue on decluttering, but this time I will keep count. It will be interesting to see how much more I can let go.
