Lenten Goal Update

I know Lent was over a long time ago, but I tell you I am just so behind these days. Work has not slowed down one bit and Lilah is growing, which is slowing  me WAY down. I realized I never gave an update on our Lenten Goal. I am not sure we hit our 40 bags mark. Our original plan was to rid our house of 40 grocery size bags of stuff. Well, that ended up being a little crazy, the bags just seemed too small and filled up too quick. So we moved to kitchen size bags, our guess was 3ish small bags fit in 1 kitchen size bag. Per our somewhat accurate count we ended up with 11 kitchen bags, but we also had a bunch of bigger stuff that was just loaded in the car for Goodwill. We don't remember if we counted them as a bag or not. Also, at the start of the project we thought we would put stuff in a garage sale. Well, that went out the window fast! We realized quickly that we did not want to store the stuff for a garage sale with the possibility of it never going anywhere. So as soon as we did a clean out of an area Tim whisked it off to Goodwill. Definitely the fastest and easiest option. So there you have it. Did we reach our goal? Who knows? I still feel like we have more stuff to get rid off, so we are going to focus on continuing to slim down our stuff. We are working on our yearly goal of "less is more"!
