House in order.

I have been working hard the past few weeks to get our house under control. We have 900 Sq. Ft. for 6 people. Everything fits like a puzzle around here. One thing out of place and it's a disaster!

The family room has been de-junked for a while but everywhere else was a mess. I have been working on getting the laundry under control...since we used to be able to go 2 months without doing it...and have unloaded 5 kitchen garbage bags full of clothes from the kids room...5!! And they are all clothes that currently fit them! I know what you're thinking, "quit buying them clothes." I don't buy them clothes, the majority of them are hand me downs or things I've made.

Well tonight I unloaded another 3 bags full of stuff!! One is all shoes and one is all blankets and another full of JUNK.

It feels so good to clean out the mess and get things manageable. I am extremely grateful for our house. I actually really like my house even though I did not plan on having 6 people living in it! I am grateful everyday for the opportunity we had to purchase our home when we did and for the inspiration to do so.

I'm trying to do the same thing as we move into our new place. There is just SO MUCH STUFF!! Getting rid of crap and living with less always feels so good to me.

GO Trish! I need to do the same thing. You are awesome! I love being the recipient of some of those trash bags too. I kept asking Suzanne, are you SURE she wanted this in the bag? It would still fit Cage for sure! She said Trish made them pick one if they have tons of one kind of thing. Huh well i'll take it then! Thank you thank you!
