Cleaning cabinets..

I have now learned a new thing....

That it possibly costs more to ship all our household "stuff" than what the "stuff" is actually worth! Well... maybe not quite... but it really is an eye opener.

Needless to say, we decided lightening the load is a good thing. So instead of just packing I am also weeding out non-necessary items. It's amazing what you find in your closets, attic corners and cabinets! (Did you know that we had at least three different types of potty training seats in our attic??! Why?? Your guess is as good as mine.)

I originally thought I'd post a picture of our mounds of boxes. I have to admit that it was rather boring... and really messy. So this is more fun...

Coffee mugs... We don't have a complete matching set. And I have now weeded out the ones with broken handles and missing parts. Here are some fun ones deemed worthy enough to pay to ship them to our new home.


The lovely professional travel mug given to those who are inclined to do medical missions.


I mean... does anyone NOT have a moose mug??? This is a must for hot cocoa in the winter, right?!?

Only the elite MPact girl volunteers are worthy to use this mug. YOu must survive at least one girls all night sleep over to even be considered to be given one.


The professional pharmacist mug. You know... everything MUST have a technical label in the pharmacy world... even caffeine.



This one in my personal favorite... "The Politically Correct" Mug! Ha! Sarcasim for breakfast.


Yes... sometimes a veterinarian just says it best.... "Keep your paws off my mug!".... and nobody gets hurt!

Matthew 6:18-20 (New International Version)
Treasures in Heaven
19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
