I get heart palpitations every November just THINKING about all the new STUFF that is headed in the direction of my house. <br /><br />I use that as a springboard and every November we CLEAN OUT and donate TONS of STUFF to charity, which makes room for yet more STUFF.<br /><br />Our kids have more STUFF than I ever had, and I think it makes things difficult for them. It's hard for them to manage so much STUFF. My word, it's hard for me, and I'm an adult organizing freak.<br /><br />After years of battling it, we finally stopped the excessive gift-giving from all aunts & uncles, which has helped immensely. <br /><br />We have to protect our closets, drawers and shelves. At all costs! Oh, girl. I get heart palpitations every November just THINKING about all the new STUFF that is headed in the direction of my house.

Our kids have more STUFF than I ever had, and I think it makes things difficult for them. It’s hard for them to manage so much STUFF. My word, it’s hard for me, and I’m an adult organizing freak.

After years of battling it, we finally stopped the excessive gift-giving from all aunts & uncles, which has helped immensely.

We have to protect our closets, drawers and shelves. At all costs!
