Simplify

When we first bought our 1920’s home we had hand-me-down furniture, no blinds, basic kitchen supplies and little knowledge on how to maintain a house. Over the last three years we have made progress to make the house our home and managed to accumulate A LOT of stuff in the process.

I have always been an avid shopper to the point that my husband has referred to my shopping habits as an aggressive sport. I am always looking for the next deal and usually having a hard time passing them up. When items we used were on sale I would stock our closets full of them. I also found myself frequently visiting my favorite store and websites scouring their sale racks.  

Last year I found myself feeling stressed and anxious when our house was even slightly a mess. I constantly felt like I was shuffling things around to keep our house clean. This led me to make a resolution to simplify. The more I dwelled on this idea the more I wanted this to be the start of simplifying our life – home, finances and health.

This blog is way for me to document our progress of simplify our home, making healthy choices and sharing my experiences.
