When we first moved to our rental 6 years ago, I wanted to keep everything we had from the house we'd owned for when we bought the next house. I didn't think we'd still be here 6 years later. But, over time, I realized that hanging onto all of those things was holding me back from fully enjoying my home and my life now.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Someday and what-if clutter are very common. We imagine ourselves somewhere other than where we are now and can be good at creating all sorts of what-if scenarios. The problem is that it can weigh you down from fully embracing life now.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I recently wrote a post about why now is the time to let go of someday and what-if clutter (link in bio). I feel lighter as I've released the things I was storing for the future. As I've decluttered I've also realized what's actually important to me. I hope the post helps you if you find yourself holding onto someday and what-if clutter too.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's a crazy what-if scenario that caused you to hang onto something?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How are you spending your weekend? Look for those

How are you spending your weekend? Look for those simple moments to enjoy in your day!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mine is being spent looking on facebook marketplace and craigslist for a desk for my daughter. It will also be spent doing family moving night and family games. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hopefully, I'll also get a few minutes to read and enjoy some tea. Life is made up of all the ordinary and simple moments.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Enjoy your weekend! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"When you look around your home, do you feel a hea

A while back I was convinced that what my home nee

A while back I was convinced that what my home needed was more. More furniture, more decor, more things for my kids in order for us to all love and fully enjoy our home.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each season needed specific decor and of course, coordinating candles. We needed more things in order to entertain the way we wanted. So we added and collected and added some more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But then I realized that the stuff made me feel overwhelmed...burdened...less appreciative of what we had because I had all of these negative feelings about the stuff.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This was apparent with my kids too. Too many toys meant more fighting and less appreciation and care for what they already had.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The decluttering process showed us what was most important to us. We learned what we truly loved and became grateful in the process. It also let us be more creative with using what we had in various ways.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you haven't been enjoying your home, maybe the answer is less not more. Oh and I still do have the candles that coordinate with the season and I'm quite happy with them ;).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A few years ago I noticed that people started talking all about capsule wardrobes. They became really popular on Pinterest and I continued seeing seasonal wardrobe pictures appearing more frequently.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I did some research on capsule wardrobes and ultimately decided against trying to create one. I wrote about what they are, the pros of them and why I didn't go that route in a recent blog post (link in bio). I also share what I do instead, which I believe is a simpler alternative.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are your thoughts on the capsule wardrobe phenomenon? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Living intentionally encompasses so many things...

Living intentionally encompasses so many things...friendships included. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have friends who challenge you and inspire you? While spending a lot of time together in person right now may not be an option, you can still connect with your people. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Text messages and zoom calls are what I've done with my inner circle. One of my other closest friends I talk with almost every day on Facebook messenger. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You're influenced by the people in your life so choose good people 🙂 My friends inspire me, challenge me, and celebrate with me. And I am so thankful for them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Anyone else feeling exhausted these days? This quote really spoke to me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel like the exhaustion has come from not enough sleep, the weight of everything going on in the world, AND not spending enough time on things that are relaxing and life-giving to me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My goal is to get out in nature more this summer and read at least 1 book. What activities feel life-giving for you?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
