It's probably no secret by now that we have lots of things to get rid in our home at any given time... The list to eliminate has gotten shorter...but I think that oftentimes, when you start getting rid of stuff, you find yourself wanting to just keep getting rid of...
Any time you move into a new place, it seems to take a while until everything finds it's new "home". From flower vases to drinking glasses to clothing, you've got to figure out where to put things (aside from inside the boxes that are piled around) or just get rid of...
During our last few months at the farm, we had the opportunity to purge our house of a myriad of things that we needed to get out of our lives. The things were sometimes things we'd bought but no longer had a need for in our new apartment, things we found while...
