Less Stuff

So normally my posts are comments around pictures of fun things we have done, but this one is different.  After living out of our RV for a month and living without all the things we left at home, we determined we have too much stuff that we do not need.  So, in the midst of unpacking the RV we also cleaned out bedrooms, closets, cupboards, under beds, etc...  We managed to produce several bags of trash and over 10 large black trash bags full of things to give away.  Now we have a much less cluttered house, such a great feeling.  We still have way more than we need, but we are headed in the right direction.  The kids were surprisingly willing to get rid of things.  Perhaps it is because they have such kind hearts, perhaps it is because I told them of other children that have far less than they do and encouraged them to share, perhaps it is because even after giving away a dozen Barbie dolls they still have plenty to play with...whatever the reason I plan to make this a more frequent occurrence at our house.  A clean and less crowded home feels great to me.
