Live Simply

I didn't get a ton of work done today.  I did empty two medium rubbermaid bins of Play Doh tools.  Yes, not one but two boot shoebox sized rubbermaid bins of Play Doh toys.  Once upon a time I hosted play groups.  Those days are long over and it was time to find new homes for the five different sets of tools.

My Mother-In-Law is in town and we went shopping to return some Christmas gifts or exchange for the right size. At one of the stores my husband found a live simply shirt.  He asked me if I wanted it.  NO! Isn't that kinda against my goals?  I don't need another tee shirt but at least he gets the message.

Today I was reading minimalist views on what your wardrobe should look like.  The funny thing is that I actually should buy some things according to some lists I have read.  I am not a true minimalist but as a whole my husband and I are very minimal in our current assets.  We share a regular sized closet, not a walk in and he probably has more clothes than I do because he goes to work.  I don't have a ton of clothes or purses (2) or even shoes (less than 10 pair).  I do have a lot of tee shirts that are old and I need to get rid of more than 1/2.

I think the kids sometimes don't have enough dressy clothes but we manage with what we have.  I really loath clothes and shoe shopping.  LOATH!  So we have our basic needs and then some.  Not much more than what they need for school Monday - Friday.  Clothes is not a problem for us, except maybe keeping things a little longer than we should when they no longer fit.
