He has started getting downloadable games off of the PlayStation Network instead of purchasing the physical games. I do keep the past year of some of my magazines, and for those, I have gotten special storage containers for them that will keep them tidy on my bookshelf.Īs for DVDs and video games, they are my husband’s domain more than mine. If the magazine had great images, I put it aside for craft projects with the children, otherwise the magazines made their way to the recycle box. I had several that had Post-Its flagging their pages, so I went through and scanned those pages for personal use, and saved them to Evernote if it was something I still was interested in. I then went through the stack of magazines. I’m not someone to read a book more than once, so it was time for them to move on to someone who would enjoy them. I have several non-fiction texts that I love too, and have decided to keep those, however the handful of novels I had on hand have been donated. No point in getting rid of something that is a treasured resource because you would regret it later. Of course, I kept the books that I use most often. This meant deciding which books were important enough to keep, and which ones would get boxed up and donated or sold. We had moved my hutch into the kitchen, and I decided that I would use only 2 shelves in it for my books.

I had to do a major decluttering of the bookshelves, and since then, I have done a media clean out several times a year to get rid of the excess. ![]() When I became a stay-at-home mom, that book collection came home with me and was added to my personal collection of over 300 cookbooks, all of my old text books from grad school, and several years of magazine subscriptions that once read, I had never gone through again. A wide variety of both fiction and non-fiction resources for my students right in our classroom. I taught 5th grade Language Arts, which meant that I had a rather impressive classroom library. Once upon a time, I was a school teacher. ![]() Day 13: Books, Magazines, DVDs, and Video Games
