But this "something new" has led me to wandering some really amazing blogs of writers involved in (in)courage. I happened upon The Simple Mom, who recently started something called "Project Simplify"- a five-week plan to declutter, clean, and organize based on Tsh Oxenreider's book, Organized Simplicity, which I will hopefully be purchasing soon. I'm a week late, but I'm going to give it a whirl. I love decluttering and in the wake of my first, serious, grown-up move, I'd really like to simplify my life. Plus, it involves before and after pictures, which I love. Each week Tsh designates a "hot spot" to tackle and last week's was your wardrobe and closet. Here's the link, if you'd like to join. She has some really great guidelines and I'm excited to marvel at my very clean closet in a few days.
This is Jenny, Kyle, and Charlotte's blog.
We are living it up in Albany Park in Chicago.

“Don’t worry about a thing, cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Rise up this mornin, smiled with the risin sun, three little birds
pitch by my doorstep, singin sweet songs of melodies pure and true…”
Bob Marley, Three Little Birds
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?”
Matthew 6:25
What's a Fika? and how are they mine?
ReplyDeleteSimplifying is a great idea. It was hard to declutter when we moved from Chicago. But, every now and then I go through another tub of knick knacks that I have in storage from the other house and I actually make a decision to donate it. It makes you realize how many millions of dollars we spend just to spend...clothes decluttering really makes you realize it. Buying stuff actually robs you of wealth. Good for you Jenny..sounds like a great project. Make sure you box things to donate rather than throwing things away that you are done with...God doesn't like waste...ie:the loaves of bread and fish story.
