Less cleaning = less things. So I'm still on this journey of accepting this. <br /><br />What has helped me tremendously though - is asking myself if I can live with selling it for 25 cents in a garage sale in a few years... I almost always put it back on the shelf :) I love this post as I can completely relate to the “less is more” mantra and need to have an open, free and clean space.

Cate collects them now! My mom started her collection when she was born. If you have any left, I know Cate would love to have one from her Godmother!<br /><br />Glad it felt good to declutter. I try to do that at least once a year (maybe twice in the playroom)! Oh, did you get rid of all the Precious Moments? Cate collects them now! My mom started her collection when she was born.
