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 :)

Jackets

Why so many jackets? I mean.. why must I own 13 of them?!?! Seriously? I didn't even realize it until I counted. Needless to say, we quickly zipped through them all and tossed the unwanted. Does your home want them? They will be going to Sally Ann's home soon... so speak up :)!

My husband And I have taken some loverly photos to display them... haha and yes, in one picture I am wearing 2 coats.

This is just ridiculous.. I feel disgusted at myself for owning so many. I am glad we have started to do this "Simple Lifestyle" thing, it is making me think more about what we have, what we buy and what we need. God has blessed us with so much, I want to do good with what we were given, not spend it aimlessly and without cause or reason.  Lesson today: If you are cold- find a jacket you own, don't buy a new one.

I should also say that this lovely brown coat you see me wearing ^^ is actually awful and you shouldn't want it because it feels terrible.. it's like.. fuzzy like velvet but not. I've never warn it and don't know why I have it. Just saying.
