Simple Living
Unclutter: rid of obstructions
Simplify: to make less complex or complicated; make plainer or easier
These are words that have been in my mind recently. Since the pregnancy and birth of our precious daughter, we have been accumulating more things than ever before. In my closet, I have a myriad of clothes from size zero to extra large pregnancy shirts and every size in between which I call my transitional clothes. Also stored in my closet are our daughter’s clothes that are too big for her now that she may fit into in the near future so I don’t want to forget that we have them by putting them away because these days out of sight means out of mind. Add in the less time I have to devote to cleaning and it’s a wonder that every nook and cranny of our house is not filled with stuff.
Today I cleared out a corner of my desk in my attempt to simplify. It's just a corner but it feels great looking at the desk and not the visual obstructions there.

Hi Lauren!!!
I've read some of your blogs on and off. Hope you and Eric are doing well. I apologize for not getting back to you before we left for Texas. It was a crazy fast-paced transition. Since you were decluttering and still have my tiara and veil, I'd love to get it back but if not, then no worries...it's been so long. My sister who's still in Irvine just got engaged so I thought she might like to have it. Tell Eric we said hello and if you ever have a chance to visit Austin, we should hang.
Take care
Nan
