Out with the Old...
Today, we cleaned out the play room. Our kids are at the age where inside toys have little appeal. All they want to do is be outside, ridding bikes, running around and swimming in the pool. I cleaned out and donated over 20 bags of toys from our play room. I want to give it to some young family just starting out. I know we were blessed with so much our first few years and I want to add to that tradition. Besides, the kids play with the same three toys anyway. So, no more gifts for Christmas and birthdays. Give us adventure...or put money in the college fund. We really want our kids to start learning now how to live simply and save more and not live in excess. I guess it needs to start with me so...Good Will here I come:-)

Ha, as it was I needed both of my parents in law to help me sort through the mess.
It was nice meeting you and your family in person at the thin space gatherings.
Let me know how the clean sweep goes.
Amber,
Mother of five young children here in Ohio...yeah for spring cleaning! I am definitely a purger by nature. Let me know how that part about "no more toys for Christmas and birthday" thing goes! Everyone seems to agree with that concept until the actual birthday/Christmas comes. They cave.

Oh Heather..I know what you mean. But at least I have it here on record that I will at least attempt. I will let you know how it goes:-)
