A lot of my time around the house in May was spent in the basement, cleaning it out and starting to pack up for my move at the end of June. The basement was the biggest and fullest area to tackle, so I started there. I took pictures of things that were special to me at one point, but that I no longer needed to keep. This is the easiest way for sentimental me to get rid of things.
Random books from various stages of my life, from college on. I gave away a lot of books this time around, way more than what's pictured here. (But I still kept a lot, too!)
Sam liked these movies a lot when he was younger.
John went through a Madagascar phase.
For some reason, John loved this particular sing-along video when he was little.
This was my favorite show for several years, mostly during my 20s.
I sold the old playroom toy shelf for $10.
I always thought this puppy picture was so cute.
I bought this when we lived in Iowa and it hung in our house there and in Massachusetts.
I got this one when we lived in Connecticut.
