Cover it up!

         Last night we decided to go through our million (actual number: 22, 24 including the ones on our beds) blankets and sheets and sleeping bags and things we just don't need!! As I collected blankets from EVERY room and closet in the house I realized quite quickly how much space these were taking up! We kept 4 for sentimental reasons, gave some to MCC, some went in the trash, and the rest went in a bin we have for blankets, and the top of 1 closet that STILL has room for other stuff. It feels so good to go through things and simplify our life! I am happy to say we now only have 9 blankets! Still sounds like a lot, but for now... I think we did pretty good :)

A little goes a long way..

Tonight Neil and I did a little organizing and tossing. Like these pillows for example. Or the 4 notepads we had and weren't using. Or the bag that has no purpose! Why do we keep these things that are cluttering our lives, making things messy and unorganized! It feels good to get rid of things we don't need, and organize what we do have. We live in a tiny little basement suit that doesn't have room for a cluttered mess. It only takes a few things to get it looking like a tornado went through. But after a few things in the trash and a few things put in place.. It's starting to look like home. A good place to be.
