With a baby on the way, I feel your pain! I have done the same thing... look around and go where did all this stuff come from! We've had some luck selling bigger items on Craigslist, but right now we have 1/2 of our garage full of stuff to either have a garage sale or donate. I am slowly but surely going through our house and making my husband and I sort through things.

I find moving helps because I've always done good when I was packing to get rid of things I saw no point in moving, but we have been in our house 4 years now and aren't going anywhere anytime soon and we have just accumulated so much stuff... that I am wondering where are all the baby goodies going to go!

We did go through our books and took a bunch of books to a resell shop. We didn't get a ton of money but at least we got 3 boxes of books out of our house!

Of course my pack rat husband thinks the answer is to rent a storage space!!!! Ugh! I have put my foot down on that one. Our problem is we have NO attic space so we have to use one of our extra closets to store Christmas/Holiday decor.

Sometimes I feel like we have made some progress this year, but other times I feel like I am fighting a losing battle!
