Someone New to Love

By
Introducing... my newest grandson, Damien!


Babies epitomize maximum gratitude and minimal stuff.  They come to us with nothing but themselves, yet we are thrilled to welcome them.


My daughter is well, despite some last minute complications.  My son-in-law continues to be a kind and supportive husband and father, and my favorite little boy, my grandson Elliot, is excited to be Damien's big brother.  Love seems to fill all our hearts and overflow with thanksgiving for the new member of our family.





Damien is satisfied with so little.  


What he really wants is Mama's milk, a clean diaper, a warm blanket, and enfolding arms.


Along with his car seat, a cradle, onesies, swaddling cloths, booties, a cap for his head, a baby wrap, and maybe some diaper cream, his basic needs will be met for the first few months.  Just add smiling faces, quiet words and songs, cuddling and kisses, and you've covered the essentials!


What are our essentials... really?

52 Minimalist Hobbies to Benefit and Enrich Your Life

Everyone benefits from a hobby or two.  Hobbies reduce stress by letting you spend time on something you enjoy provide scope for creativity and imagination make you more knowledgeable and interesting help you develop patience and skills improve your sense of accomplishment and self-esteem promote mindfulness and concentration can create a social life and let you bond with others who share your interests can allow you to stay active and physically healthy I've known people with entire rooms dedicated to their hobby – studios for painting and pottery, sewing rooms, woodworking sheds, and basements filled with wine-making apparatus or a model train setup. But even if you live in a small space, like my husband and I do, or you want to pursue hobbies that require less equipment and expense, you're in luck.  Many hobbies take a lot of space and tools, but many do not, and you can probably find one of those that you'll enjoy. There are some tricks to making a hobby work in a small...

Decluttering 101: Start with What You Love

There are many ways to declutter, and I'm not here to tell you there's only one right way.  But if you find yourself decluttering over and over just to keep on top of stuff, your method may be missing one important ingredient. I know this because when I first started reading about simple living, I made the same mistake.  You see, I'm quite good at paring down and removing things that are worn, outgrown, duplicated, or that I just don't want or use anymore.  I could do a little bit of that every week, save things up, and have a big garage sale a couple of times a year.  (What didn't sell, I'd donate.) The thing is, I'd always follow the garage sale with a shopping trip (or two).  Getting rid of unwanted things was a great way for me to refresh my home and my life.  It was the cue to go out and buy some new stuff for a new look.  My house was a revolving door of belongings.  Out with the old and in with the new! Pretty soon, I'd be decluttering a l...

The Essential Decluttering Decision: Keep or Toss?

By

Sometimes it's hard to discard things – even long after they've served their purpose. I gave away a box of books this week.  They were all books I've read and enjoyed, so it was a little hard to let them go, even though I doubt I'll read them again.  The very fact that I bought them and gained some benefit from them made them hard to donate.  Yet I wanted room on my bookshelf for something new. Feelings that make us hesitant to declutter We might list several reasons to keep things we own: We spent good money on them. They were gifts, and we feel guilty about getting rid of them. When we dig them out of storage, they remind us of happy times or people we loved. They're still usable, and we might want or need them someday. These feelings are pretty common among people who start to declutter, making the process harder and more frustrating.  Unless we can approach the task with some practical strategies and a no-nonsense attitude, we may not be successful. So if you...

Help - My Partner's Clutter is Driving Me Crazy!

By

You love your partner.  But you don't love her stuff.  (And she doesn't love your nagging about her stuff.) It's a common issue for couples.  In fact, some surveys have found that nearly half of all couples argue about clutter.  A few even have the argument every day. If you're in this situation, decluttering by itself isn't going to add to your peace.  In fact, it might create more tension in your household.  It's important to find ways to come together in this area. Why clutter is an issue One reason there's so much friction about this topic is that, for many of us, possessions are part of our identity.  Your husband's tee shirt may look to you like it's ready to become a dust rag, but to him it might be a reminder of the time he saw his favorite band perform.  Your attempt to downgrade it might feel like a personal attack.  It's not so much about the physical item as it is about the emotion that's attached to it. How can this be resolved?...

10 Quick and Easy Practices to Get and Stay Clutter-Free

Years ago, my home wasn't clutter-free.  I had two young children, and we homeschooled.  We had busy schedules.  We had a long list of things we wanted to buy, even though we already owned more than we needed.  Every closet, cupboard, and drawer was full.  The garage was full.  A large shed in the backyard was full.  And even though I decluttered pretty regularly (we held yard sales two or three times a year), our possessions never actually diminished because we always bought more... and more. Weekends were given over to cleaning, organizing, chores, and shopping.  We'd come home with new purchases we had to somehow fit into our already-too-full home – plus the credit card receipts that proved we were buying way too many things we couldn't actually afford. I didn't wake up one morning and say "I want to become a minimalist."  I did feel like I needed to clean up and pare down my home.  But learning to declutter for good – instead of be...
