Shedding the extra stuff challenge

I don't know about you, but I look around my house and often wonder.."how did I end up with so much stuff?" I guess having a three year old, a husband who won't get rid of things and being an ex-mega consumer...well, it all adds up. So, I have decided to challenge myself to get rid of ONE thing EVERY day for a month. It can be large or small, but it has to go. To make the challenge more substantial, I also have decided that if I bring anything new into the home, then I have to get rid of the one item PLUS something to make up for the additional item brought into the house....this is gonna be interesting. I invite you to take up the challenge along with me-good luck!
