Okay, so maybe I had a problem too...

So I blogged a few days ago about Ben's obsession with the stuffed animals. You might also remember the blogs I posted last year about Ben's collections, if you don't you can click here for a brief recap (Star Wars figurines, knives, water bottles, blankets, stuffed animals, coins, etc). Well today, I too realized I had a bit of a collection myself. So thanks to my mom and my good friend Jen, I began on the road towards recovery. Yes, that's right girls I cleaned out my closet. I do this about once a year, but this time was like no other....I PURGED!! If you don't believe me just check on the pictures. I mean I have been fussing at Ben that he has a lot of stuff...which he does as you can see from above, but I too have a lot of clothes and shoes. Lets just say I got rid of stuff that I had dating back to high school...and that my friends was 10 years ago!! Jen walked in after I had already done the initial purge and went behind me asking if I really wanted to keep things...you know in that kind of voice that says "do you seriously think that twin set is still in style." So hopefully, Ben will have less to complain about when he gets home! And as my mom says, "it is amazing how much space a little 7 pound baby needs"...apparently so much that I needed to clean my closet out.

Look at that pile. Some fabulous finds in this pile and some not so fabulous.

I really like shoes...I do. 20 pairs down, doesn't that mean I deserve at least one new pair???

The total collection.

A productive couple of days all around! YES,you do deserve a least one new pair of shoes. And I know just the place to shop.

Jen is even better at clearing out stuff than I am. Way to go!
