I was feeling like our family of 6 was outgrowing our space, like our space was caving in on us, but then I realized how much stuff we have that really wasn't being used. We realized it was MUCH cheaper for us to give away all of our baby and toddler stuff and re-buy it later if we ever have another than it was for us to rent a larger apartment. Just getting rid of those things has made such a huge difference in our storage space. Since getting rid of those things, I've spent a lot of time reevaluating other things as well. The most discouraging thing for me is to realize how much money I've wasted along the way in having too much stuff that didn't really get used. Live and learn.

These last few years I've really learned the value of experiences over stuff and now that seems to have become a mantra for me. Yes I totally know what you mean.

We started decluttering and stopped shopping for anything other than consumables a couple of years back when we started blogging... and decluttering is a way of life because stuff just happens!!! But the key for us to stop feeling "overpowered by all the stuff" was to really stop shopping. For instance, no more craft materials until we had finished what we already owned - we are still using those same crayons!!! We got rid of half of our books and I know we could easily do it again. We really had to put a stop to stuff coming into our home, decluttering wasn't enough!!! Our house was a squash and a squeeze but as the stuff diminishes we fit so much better, and we are so much more content... You can't buy contentment or piece of mind and the more you pursue it the harder it is to find. Somehow going for a walk together is so much more fun than heading for the shops... really as a leisure activity shopping is not a great choice!!! This is such an interesting post!!!

The printable will come in handy though because I do initially write things down as I fold them in order to input them into "the google". Thank you! /we have way too many clothes. Eeeesh.

I put one on either side of my spine starting at the top and lay down on them and wiggle and dig them in. I do the whole glute area and the hams and calves too if I have time.It is better than in some ways than a real massage because you can apply more pressure to your liking and sort of let the ball "sink in" farther to get those deep down muscles. When I first used a tennis ball to fix my own back pain I told my husband "I wanna marry this tennis ball it is soooo awesome!" I also go to the chiro when something slips out of place, but the tennis balls relieve the muscle pain and spasming. Two tennis balls!!

So I scoured the web and came up with a few new recipes to try! I also plan to check out the store circulars to get a head start on next week. For this week's plan I was trying to use up meat I had in the freezer! Your menu sounds delicious! I hit a block this week too with my menu planning!!
