@ Alison - I love when my commentors can sum up perfectly in just a few lines what takes me all day to write in my babbling way. I love the cookie analogy!

This kind of goes along with your “Wanting” post as well. I think it’s kind of important to pin down exactly what it is you want and figure out the best way to go about getting it - as opposed to accumulating a bunch of things that you think might satisfy that want. You’ll end up with a lot more than you really need. It’s like how if what you are really craving is a cookie, don’t eat 20 other seemingly healthy things in order to rid yourself of that craving. Have a little bit of cookie and be done with it!

A great book is “It’s all too much” by Peter Walsh (TLC’s Clean Sweep, Oprah, etc). His basic premise is to free yourself of the clutter and that if you have things that are heirlooms or precious they should be displayed and honored; and not buried with junk.

This is so true! I am really working in my own life to “remodel” (lol) and I have recently gotten rid of SO much CRAP - and it feels wonderful.

There is now more room in my home for my children to play, less stuff for me to clean, and I am more comfortable in my home than I have ever been.

I have also recently drank the Dave Ramsey Kool Aid and I am, for the first time in my adult life, really working to get my finances under control. But NOT so I can buy more stuff!

Great post

Amen sister! I can’t speak the praises enough about having a decluttered home. So much less stress and more peace.

Stumbled, and I’ll be linking to you in an upcoming post.

While in art school I used Ludwig Meis van der Rohe’s phrase of “less is more” daily. Actually, I still use it daily (ask my kids). In all aspects of life “less is more”. Just today, I began cleaning the kitchen. I spent a lot of time on the windows. I tossed the window treatments made from branches of lemon leaves. They were beautiful, but I was tired of them. Also, they were a dusty mess. I just need a major purge at this moment in my life. I think reading everyone’s blogs motivates me to actually get stuff done.
