31 Days of Decluttering - Day #22 - Mugs

I'll be honest - I thought we already did the mugs.  At least I know I went thru mine on Day #8 when we did the travel mugs and water bottles.  

In case you didn't go thru them on Day #8, here are the action steps according to "From Overwhelmed to Organized":

• Toss any mugs that are chipped, cracked, or stained
• Give away or donate any mugs you have not used in the last 3 months
• Get rid of mugs with logos that don't hold any attachment to anyone in your family
• Keep mugs that are favorites and that are used regularly
• Determine how many mugs you need for the number of people in your family, based on how often you drink hot drinks daily
• Keep in mind how often you clean dishes when you calculate how many you need
• Think about whether you reuse mugs or not (for example, I use the same mug for my tea in the morning and the afternoon with just a rinse between uses - I know most people drink tea from a tea cup, but I like my super sized mug for my designated pick-me-up!)
• Consider how many mugs you need when you entertain guests too
• Based on your answers to these points, donate or give away mugs until you are left with a number that fits your requirement
• If you have some mugs that are special but that you don't use, consider repurposing them somewhere else in your house (hint: "World's Best Mom" mugs make great planters or pencil holders when you have too many of them to use!)
