I just new on this site so I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I have been going by a book called "How to Live Simply with Kids." I really enjoy it and find myself setting goals because of it all the time.

*Everyone* who I tell about this makes fun of me, but I swear by it, so here it is - www.flylady.com. If you want to cut out the clutter, then she is the person to help. It works, for me anyway. I have been moving recently and I have thrown out or donated as much as I have packed. It was hard to do at first, I felt terrible getting rid of her baby clothes and toys, but I had no use for them. The person I gave them too wrote me several very nice thank you notes though and it helped me to continue. Oh, my soon to be ex really gave me a hand by taking half my stuff too. I mean, I didn't even ask him either, he is just that thoughtful ;)

I have sooo much clothing clutter my new rule.. I have to toss 3 to 4 items for every one I buy.. I say 3 to 4 because often I love the fabric or have a great idea (I will never get around to) so I keep the item in my sewing to-do box LOL! I am so bad...

What a great idea and just what I need/want in my life right now.
Jen I Comment by Jen I on August 29, 2008 at 6:22pm
I tried to do this so many times, but never managed it with the chaos my life was in.

I just moved and it's just the girls and I and my new home is so simple and organized and stripped down, but it feels so good.

It feels like I just lost a bunch of weight. Now to just keep it that way.

It seems to be something I have to remind myself each day and maybe we can all remind each other.

Oh how I would love to simplify life! ;) I have 3 weeks before Fall Term starts... Help!
I always try to start out super organized, but just lose it towards the end of the term.

Wow, this is a great idea for a group! Thanks!

When we went on vacation this summer, we went to Amish country. As strange as it seems to us, just being there for a day got me thinking how great it would be to live a simple life like that. Now, I'm not saying I would do that, but I would like to find ways to be less of a consumer. At this point, I'm not sure how I can be, but I am willing to try.
Jordan Comment by Jordan on August 24, 2008 at 9:16pm
This is one of my main goals for my daughter and I. We have so many things, and like that old adage... they really start to own us. I would love to be able to live out on a farm and have chickens and bake my own bread and garden with Clementine, unfortunately that isn't in the cards at the moment. So I'm looking for more subtle ways to get back to what's good.
Jordan Comment by Jordan on August 24, 2008 at 6:24pm
yeah, this topic can go anywhere and that's good.

I agree 100% with you. I find it really hard to forgive my son's father for everything he has ever done to him. He never apologized. I want to forgive him and when I look at him I try to act like everything's fine (for the sake of my son) but I ca...
