Wow, what a lot to do!! Sit down and talk to the DH and kids and make decisions about what is going where as you move things from room to room. Lay out a plan for each room. Then take one room at a time and declutter and reorganize. I know it seems overwhelming, but you can do it, one day at a time, one room at a time! :thumbup: :D

Storage units are a bad idea. The money long term is insane. Trust me, I know. Better to thin the junk herd now while it's all coming at you than to thin it later after you've paid its rent for years.
Relax. It's just stuff. Water off a duck's back. Family is what's important now and you're abundantly blessed in that (under one roof!). :0D

Good luck with your huge task! I am just trying to organize all MY stuff, and cleaning up years after having my brother live with me! It is a tremendously HUGE task! I am trying to cull "junk" out, but my definition keeps changing! I am making some progress each time, but there is no way I will set a deadline!

we owned a storage business and I would only use it if storing for a very short time. Also using charcoal (I use the cheap bbq stuff) in an open sided container or a mess bag really absorbs odors, so everything should smell ok when you take it out of storage. (We used it in the care facitly when someone had cancer that produced odors or other issues with odor.
Someone suggested having an organized friend, who's oppinion you respect, to help you get rid of some of the clutter. I know I got tough on myself when we renovated and got rid of many things, still have some to go. My SIL and I went to my other SIL's house and helped her get rid of lots of things she was hanging onto, she said feels like she is lighter with less in her house.
