Hello :D

My advice is for you to come to the thread here called "the Daily Chat" and we will all help you purge every day.
We will also tell you ways to help keep things better under control so you won't fall back into this situation.
Come join us in the Sunday "online support group" at 5:00pm PST tonight.

Hi,

This is my first time exploring this site. My husband and I have 3 kids, 2 teens and the newest is an infant. We've tried to clean our apt before, but it always gets back messy. We have clothes everywhere. Literally. We're stage 2.5 hoarders.

We've been a work in progress, recognizing our problem, for years. But now, urgency is upon us. In addition to the infant, who will crawl soon, we are combining households to take care of my sick mother.

We're moving in a few weeks and we don't know where to start. We need to purge....lots of stuff. We don't want to take it with us. We want to start from scratch. We are in counseling and have the mind-set to keep it together, once all is done. We just feel overwhelmed by the amount of stuff we have accumulated over the years.

Any advice? And thanks in advance!
