Cleaning House

Literally.

I need to get rid of some stuff.

Crib. Table and chairs. Pram stroller. Pack 'n Play.

See what I mean?  Stuff.  It needs to go.  It is all in the basement and I want it out.

Craigslist?  Is it worth it?  I guess so.  I have never had a garage sale and don't know how I feel about having people go through my stuff in front of me and than asking to pay a quarter.  I think that leads me to thinking that if you do stuff like that, garage sales, you need to not be attached to your stuff anymore.

So, here's to not being attached to stuff anymore.  I will *try* to post some stuff today to start cleaning house.

Wish me luck!

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.
