Simplify

Happy New Year first of all.

I have been inspired my wonderful friend Kim over here. She had declared last year as the year for her to simplify and this year I have been greatly inspired by another fabulous, strong woman Nie found here who has themes for her family when starting the school year. So, I thought long and hard about things and I want to

and that is just what I intend to do this year.

After reading Mimi Charmante's post I went and cleaned out my closet.

Yup, I did and got rid a HUGE contractor's bag of clothes (they will be dropped off at People to People and Goodwill on Monday).

When the children go back to school on Monday you know I am going through their rooms and the playroom. The basement will follow.

I am ready for it. I see that over the years I collect things and my kids are becoming collectors.

There has to be a better way, I want this.

And, I actually had the husband hang up curtains I bought last week for our dining room, but that's in the next post.

I have some projects in my mind that I want to do and *hopefully* they are simple.

Much love ladies, have a great night.
