Day 306: Saving Stuff

I have piles here and there that I'm saving for people. It is so difficult to throw out items, especially items that would bring children joy. Example: leftover bubbles in a fun container from a wedding; a small disposible bubble gum dispenser that still has gum.

I'd say if you can't get rid of it with in a week or so, just toss it. Plan to pass it on to a child neighbor or see if a teacher has a prize bag (I don't...) Seeing things like that sitting around is confining and we're out to simplify our lives.

The United States is filled with little cutsy items ("tchotchke") that we don't need. Kids also have way too much much of the time. So, throwing it away is an option unless you have a stream of children visiting and like to be the aunt/neighbor the kids love to visit!
