Decluttering Challenge

Last month I borrowed a challenge from Amy at The Finer Things.  Basically, she challenges you to get rid of 730 things in 365 days.  I thought it sounded like such a great idea since now that I have 3 kids it seems I constantly need to declutter my house.  It's like they bring in 1 toy and it multiplies.  Anyway, I wanted to share my number with everyone after the end of my first month.  I will say I had a garage sale last month and I got rid of a lot...and almost everything that was left went straight to Goodwill afterwards.  What a great feeling...so freeing to think of all that space cleared up in my basement, all the clutter gone and so many empty plastic tubs....what to do with them all?  Last month I was able to unload 457 items from my home!  I know every month isn't going to be a big month like that since I won't be having a garage sale each month, but what a great way to start the challenge!

How about you?  Did you take me up on the challenge?  How many items were you able to get rid of in your home?
