Bagua 7: Toys, Arts & Crafts Supplies, Hobby Related Equipment

Well, how does it feel to have a nice, clean kitchen? Fridge cleared out, and wiped out… pantry updated to current foods only. Congratulations!

How are you feeling? A big pat on the back from your old friend moxy.! Is it getting easier yet?

This next segment is partially difficult to me, for a few reasons. I don’t have kids, so it is strictly hypothetical to say how I would handle getting rid of their toys. Also, I am an avid action figure and game collector and seller, so I myself am reluctant to get rid of certain things because they do have value to the right person. I have enlisted the help and advice from some very competent and trusted Moms.

This first segment pertains to the toys, arts and crafts supplies, and hobby related equipment of the children. We all know that adults are just as capable of accumulating their own toys, so I will touch on that in a bit.

My how time flies when you are having fun decluttering! It seems like just last week we were admiring your nice, beautiful clean fridge! Oh wait, we were! Did you get all the crumbs and goo wiped out of the bottom and the doors? Great job! Feels good, doesn't it?

Next? The pantry. Enlist some kids help with this (they don't have to be your kids... nieces, nephews, or even the neighbor's kids!). I have observed that for some crazy reason, kids get a big fat kick out of finding outdated stuff and tossing it into a bin! I personally think that it is the “tossing” part… again, these items (spices, mixes, crackers, pasta, and any other stuff) can be composted. Their containers (cardboard boxes and such) should be able to be broken down for recycling, leaving virtually no waste (or, realistically, cardboard and paper can be composted as well if you have the space)!

Bagua 3: Food and food related items.

How did it go with the clothing sorting? Did you try to sneak a pair of leather pants and a wide belt past me thinking no one would notice? I saw that. It’s okay. Set them somewhere that you think you will be aware of their presence. Better yet, wear them to work. Just once. See what happens. I apologise in advance…

Next up: Food and food related items. This Bagua for me is a blessing and a curse.  I absolutely hate to waste, and will try to use every last scrap of a whole pumpkin or a chicken (usually pretty successfully!) before I will discard it. However, gross is gross. Even then, I will compost it… but that comes in a bit. Read on…
