Married 23 years. Lived in our house 21 years. Raising a 13 year old and a 7 year old. I am overwhelmed by the amount of stuff we’ve managed to pack into this house. SO! MUCH! STUFF!
I’ve read the books. I know how to declutter. I know how to organize. But alas here I am, overwhelmed by stuff (for the record I’d be a happy minimalist owning almost nothing but I live with other people 😂).
My one January goal is simply not to buy anyTHING.
Nothing that needs a permanent home. Nothing that can’t be eaten or used up quickly. Yeah, I’ll keep fighting the good fight, throwing stuff away, donating things, maybe I’ll even 1 in 2 out for anything my husband and kids acquire but for myself I’m hoping not to buy stuff this month.
Spending today:
Food groceries: $72.58
Jimmy Johns for dinner: $36.20

Today’s spice is premature. Tonight at bedtime I’m finishing book two in a three book series with Wren. Last month we read Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George. This month we quickly read through Dragon Flight, which we’re finishing tonight. That’s my spice today. They’ve been really fun to read, we’re excited to finish book two AND we’re excited to start the next book. Premature spice: finishing Dragon Flight and diving into Dragon Spear.
Are you finding blogging helps you to stay "accountable"? I'm enjoying your "spice".
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, I’ve found blogging to be my favorite form of accountability. And that pairs nicely with a place to live journal about all the random things as well. I’m absurdly busy but I’ve missed blogging alot.
