As you most of you know, we recently moved into a new home! I didn’t realize how much stuff we had until it started accumulating in the basement. I’m typically really great about keeping things organized and neat, but being in the basement it was out of sight, out of mind. From Ben’s skateboards to Aimery’s toys, any and all of the miscellaneous junk always found itself on the shelving area. With summer coming to an end and Aims about to start his first year of school, it was time to start fresh. Everything was piling up until the mess was beyond control and I couldn’t take it anymore!

Ben and I decided to block out our schedules on Saturday so we could spend the day cleaning together and let me tell you, it was an all day event. My mom graciously picked up Aims and we got to work without distraction. It felt so good to purge the items we weren't using anymore and better organize the things that stayed. There was so much stuff that I forgot we had and can’t believe I held onto for so long!

I found it most productive to begin sorting by trash, recycle, and donate. Even though I was thrilled to be discarding so many things, I was shocked at the amount of waste one room had provided. I was anxious about putting all of the trash bags in our community dumpster since there's rarely any room come the end of the week. I had done research prior to look for an alternate solution and came across Waste Management’s Bagster® bag.
