basement progress: the hoarder corner

we've been chipping away at this corner of stuff for a looooong time.  lots an lots of time spent down here going through all of these boxes and determining the fate of the treasures inside.  last night, we cleared the floor of the last of this stuff, most of it going in our favorite bin that we've lovingly named "lanyards."  even abigail likes to make jokes about that bin.  anyways, as always, i still have some stuff to put away and things like this are always a work in progress and require maintenance because life happens and our needs change, but this is a huge, huge milestone for me.

our stuff seems to have multiplied.  not just in our basement, but in our entire house.  i walk around our house and can't believe how much more stuff we had than just three years ago when we moved in.  and i look at pictures of our house that i took just even one or two years ago, and am stunned at the difference.  this can't just be me, right?!  do other people experience this?  and will it keep getting exponentially worse with each kid that we have?!

anyways... progress.  we're making it happen.
