I think most of us feel the same way: too much stuff...too many useless items. Way too much time wasted on frivolous activities :)<br /><br />I agree with the challenge...time to purge the clutter away!<br />Rachael D<br />(http://thelearningcurveparent.blogspot.ca/)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18057018188885395834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452897449813354494.post-28208776318829124252013-01-19T23:23:43.256-05:002013-01-19T23:23:43.256-05:00I really enjoy reading your blog!!

Your life is REAL and I can relate to so much of it. This is definately one I can relate to and will have many thoughts about this. Less IS more as someone mentioned above I just need to get that through my thick skull. Sooner rather than later, as my children (ages 2 and 8) are growing fast.

I also add their school picture for that year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452897449813354494.post-8068766864308584762013-01-16T22:46:02.827-05:002013-01-16T22:46:02.827-05:00I love reading all of your posts on Facebook as we...I love reading all of your posts on Facebook as well as on here. You are an amazing writer and at times I feel as if I am reading out of a book. I keep wanting to read more. After reading this, made me realize that your point is so so true. Time to de-clutter my room and simplify ! <br />I don't know you, but I am always thinking about you and your family ever since i started following you on Facebook... hoping things get better. You sure are a strong women and mother. My thoughts are with you and your family <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452897449813354494.post-31939894185421029942013-01-16T22:03:09.319-05:002013-01-16T22:03:09.319-05:00I hate the amount of paper that comes home from sc...I hate the amount of paper that comes home from school. So wasteful. Especially the pictures with feathers or sprinkles. So years ago i got four plain white poster boards. Stapled them up like a briefcase and the kids decorated their portfolio. Everything goes in it. Then mid summer before school we go thru it and weed out 90% of it. <br />Another thing i do is the school pictures. I have one big frame per kid and this includes those sports shots also.each year i put the current picture up front. This has made a hugh savings of clutter in our home.
