Nesting

Call it what you will but, boy, do I want to declutter our apartment! I wish I had spent more time doing what I've been doing today these past few days at home. I started with our kitchen and then tackled the Christmas tree and decorations in the living room. I ended up selecting half of the decor to be given away. Then I looked long and hard at our little 19 inch television. We hardly ever use it (just to watch BSU games and play the occasional DVD). So it, too, was being donated to a local thrift store. That meant, of course, that the tv stand had to go as well. Well, how about those trinkets on the stand? Yep, send those to St. Vincent!

It feels so good.

So is it nesting? Probably. I think I was also inspired by this article in Sunset magazine (which we LOVE by the way). This family in California lives completely with out waste! They end up with a few handfuls of non-recyclable waste a year. It's an amazing read. I don't know just yet about being as aggressive as the Johnsons but I sure am inspired!

  1. We are totally inspired! We already lean toward minimalism and frequent closet purgings, but that article helps us take it to a whole new level! :) And, nesting is always a good thing! Happy 19 weeks! You are almost halfway there!
