The Mommy's Place – Craft, Create, Celebrate Life

Sorting Thru Stuff

09/20/2019 by CraftyMom15

I am donating a bunch of books, magazine, and other heavy items. My husband and I are also going thru old paper from the files that we no longer need and getting rid of it.

It feels good to be getting rid of unneeded items. Now I wonder can I be a minimalist paper crafter/pen friend letter writer. This will be my question as I sort thru my new craft room once I move to our new place.

I have also donated a few items of clothing and kitchen items I don’t want to move with us. Let’s see how this continues to evolve in time. Be back soon for another update.

Packing Up and Less Stuff

09/15/2019 by CraftyMom15

We are being packed up and loaded for our in early Oct 2018. I have been pruning my books and some clothing items plus more before the move.

Once we are settled into our new home I will get rid of more items we don’t use and have not used in a long time. These moves have brought to my attention again how much stuff I have that doesn’t get used by anyone in our household.

Move, Decluttering and Downsizing

08/29/2019 by CraftyMom15

So much has been going on since our move back in December 2018 to San Antonio. Our home back in Oklahoma finally sold in June 2019 which was a big load off our minds. It took a bit to sell I think because it was out in the country but we are blessed a family fell in love with it and bought it.

Now our stay in San Antonio has become temporary and we are moving again. I stressed over our move from the Oklahoma home to San Antonio way too much. I meticulously packed and prepared all our stuff for the move. Now with another upcoming move and me starting to stress out again I paused and had a good time to think things thru. I am not going to stress over this upcoming move as much. I am taking time to donate, recycle and dispose of some things we don’t need anymore.

I have decided to minimalize our home and this will not be an overnight thing it may take me some months but I am ready for the challenge in order to make our home a more peaceful and comfortable home to live in for our family.
