Tricia, my new years resolution is SIMPLIFY! I've yet to figure out how to apply it. I'm going to read the articles you suggested. Thank you. I find it hard to give up the things I love, and have realized that I love many things, people, ideas, etc. And yet there seem to be so many things I must do (clean, feed, nurture, etc.). I think it will be my lifetime battle, but I'm determined to get a hold on it this year, and one of the first areas that needs work is simplifying our belongings. So I'm anxious to get started on that, and praying for the strength to be brutal. It's going to be hard. Thanks for some inspiration sister. :)

I just found your blog, and I had to decide if it was something that completely motivated me, or threw me in to the depths of despair! I am 16 weeks pregnant with my fourth baby and have not left the couch in that long! I have just started to feel well again, and the task of digging out of life and getting it back on track has seemed so daunting! Your blog has inspired me and reminded me of how truly wonderful and delicious life is when we savor the simple, beautiful things daily.

You were right. The article is fantastic! It was just what I needed as I work on organizing my new year. I blogged about it, too.

Your blog is also just what I need. Your posts remind me of what is important in my life and what makes me and my family happy. I think you've even inspired me to start knitting again.

I love that you touched on the toy subject, I am usually met with a quizzical look when I say that I'd love my children to have a minimal amount of 'plastic' type of toys that they stop playing with after a couple of months..
there is nothing like sparking some creativity in your child with crafts. I won't allow people to buy them junk! lol Have a great weekend!

I have been cleaning for the past two weeks. I finished my office, which is really a craft room last night, to decide to rearrange it and reclean it today. :-) Have fun cleaning. It is so therapeutic.
