It's strange. You think you're always going to feel nauseous and weak and exhausted and then soon you forget that you ever felt that way. First you think, "I'm NEVER going to do this again." And then pretty soon your bad memories fade and the thought, "Maybe we'll have our second one right away" pops into your mind. Though, I imagine the third trimester and labor might make that one take a turn for the worse.
Project: Clean out the little room. Make room for baby.
Goal: Clear out the little room without simply transferring all the stuff from little room into Shira's room. Also, clear out Shira's room. Make room for Shira.
Dates: Now until January, preferably early January.
Is that enough time? Today I started by emptying a drawer filled with papers. But now there is a bigger mess. We have too much stuff. Where do you keep little locks (like from an old locker)? Where do you keep listerene strips (is there an expiration date)? Where should I keep my purses? When should you throw out magazines? Should American change go in the tzedakah box with the Israeli change? What do you do with old course work that one day you may just need to refer to?
How do I declutter without feeling like I need to move in order to start fresh?
Yours truly, Sarah

very nice. and to answer your question about american money going into a tzedakah box with israeli coins...well....sure. or maybe not.
why not have two tzedakah boxes (if you will have a sufficient amount of coins of each country). otherwise, sure, one box.
and when giving it away, be sure to give it away efficiently and effectively. not to a person or place with high overhead which wastes your sacred tzedakah money.
