Less is More

Ok, so to all of you who didn't receive our 2007 Christmas Card yet, it is coming. I know it is now 2008 but for a whole month I will continue to mess up writing the date and write 2007 so until I get "into" 2008 I figure I have a grace period for our Christmas card. :) Sorry.

But my blog today isn't about last year - it's about the new year and my one and only "resolution". Less is more.

Way back bc (before children), and when I lived in a very cramped apartment, I had this philosophy of material goods: If we get something new, something needs to be sold, given away or recycled. It was partly a way of keeping our apartment clean and partly just a good way to remove clutter generally from our lives. But somewhere between house ownership and having children the philosophy became more a "hope not realized" than a practical application.

However, after assessing our home clutter, we will be instituting a house wide (and yard, shed and outbuilding) declutter arrangement. I have two whole rooms that are filled with "stuff" - stuff that hasn't been used or opened for several years. It's time to do a little inventory and clean out.

More after the jump . . .
