I am soo in the same boat.

maybe due to crazy pregnant nesting but a just did a HUGE clean-out. And i mean epic! i had over 15 bags to charity plus that again in rubbish!! cleared out craft drawers and got rid of faded pens, broken crayons, drawn on bits of paper, ripped paper, loose stamp pieces that once belonged to a set.

Then i started on the girls' cupboards and got rid of clothes that i had just been holding onto because they are convenient for kindy etc. so all the slightly too small stuff, crappy stuff that we had too long, stuff that i have been given but dont like and felt too guilty giving away. I totally fell into the trap of keeping too much for the other girls down the track: and some stuff just doesnt keep well.

Also went through all our bookshelves and got rid of books that i had no need or attachment to anymore (old gardening books, magazines, torn books etc).

The the toys. got really ruthless. anything broken, or with missing pieces were gone. toys that annoyed me...gone. faded toys etc etc.

I was amazed (and horrified lol) at how much we had been holding onto!
