We have too much stuff. So it is time to simplify. We started by having a yard sale. There was a time where I would just take it to Goodwill or give it away. The time that you have to give in tagging for a consignment sales or setting up for a yard sale is sometimes not worth it. I get it. This season of life though-that isn’t my attitude at all. I am constantly thinking about how my dream house book (pictured below) can come a faster reality. So…I don’t mind the extra work because I know that every dollar we save is getting us to our goal. I glued this light fixture in the other day. It is from pottery barn.
I still have lots more to get rid of and to clean out. Here are my next 3 to be downsized-
- School stuff
My next goal is to downsize all the school stuff that I have. I know I will find myself back in a classroom again but I don’t know when that will be. So…I want it to be used instead of taking up space in my garage or my cousins basement.
-
Christmas decor-I have items that I haven’t used in a few years. Time to take inventory on that.
-
Home decor-I love changing out decor in our home. I have a few containers in our garage that I store stuff in and get out when I feel like quieting a room. That is the Nester’s way of saying to change up your decor, furniture, etc to get a new look. She does such a great job with this and tends to use things she already has.
What areas of your life need simplifying? Do you have a list of things you need to tackle? I have found that setting goals has helped me be content with where we are on our journey. It has also been nice to see how our family playbook is being lived out in this area of our life.
