Posts One of the perks of being an singleton: Storage Space. In my family I was able to keep my must-haves year after year under one condition…I had to sort, purge and label toys, books, clothes and memory junk upon H.S. and College graduation and marriage.

The Simplicity Project (TSP) is big. What I am finding is that TSP is not made up of one big idea or plan. It is, however, made up of a lot of little ideas, attitudes, and of course projects. I haven’t dumped out every toy in hopes of restructuring the whole house in one day…yet. [...]

I am in the midst of packing for a trip to family camp. I am swimming in camping chairs, bug spray and more kids clothes than I know I’ll ever need but can’t seem to leave behind. The process of leaving is always a chore but a necessary part of the privilege of actually going [...]

Ryan and Molly are sitting on a rock that is situated at the end of our townhome neighborhood’s property. This small boulder has become a highlight of our evening walking route.
