Yesterday, while at school, my daughter experienced a LOCKDOWN situation When I first got the email notification, I thought it was just a routine drill. I texted the kiddo, “Hey, what’s going on at school, LOCKDOWN?” She responded immediately with a, “YES… we have no idea what’s going on.” She […]
Motivation to Minimize Your Life & Your Home.
We live in a world that has shopping conveniently located at your fingertips. Makes it really easy to turn window shopping into doorstep delivery. OH Ye Olde Amazon, you are a wicked and beautiful creature. Always tempting my eyes and fingers with a world of shopping. Yeah, at times I’ve […]
Warning : Be careful what you wish for! Embrace Downsizing.
Making a big life decision. We’re embracing minimalism, downsizing our 2400 sqft house and will be moving into 1600 sqft. This change has happened upon me and the family very quickly.
