Been a While

Sorry its been a while.
 Lots of life has happened while I have been away. I got really sick and I am still dealing with the health issues but I am always thinking and searching simplicity and chasing after it. Trying to find ways to make my life this, it is hard with a family and now my daughter is 14 and completely the opposite of me and well she loves simple but yet loves being a girly girl with lots of clothes and well thats just her life but we are going to be moving again we have been in a 2000 square foot house to a 1200 square foot to right as of now in two bedrooms with all our stuff in the garage of my parents home which they have 1500 sq ft and let just say I am still always trying to accomplish having less some days are harder than others but I seriously am striving to be at that I could live with a travel size carry on and be completely free. However at this time I still have a family and well Husband is not on board with that while we still have a child at home. In the next few months we will be moving as we are buying our first home where we live and moving to a 1400 Sq ft home Im truly not looking forward to the space but I plan to utilize it to the best of simplicity that I can we are going to be renting it out with Airbnb so we shall see how this all works as when we move in we will be limiting what goes in and it will be decorated in a travel theme world map and globe and very rustic as to no carpet and making it very simplistic what doesn't go in the house in the first few months from the garage will be gotten rid and donated or sold.
I truly can't wait for this process to happen as just seeing our pile of stuff and wondering what we truly will need for the new house was daunting so I kept a lot of what I would have sold and trust me I did sell quite a lot a ton of furniture left our house some of the big ticket items that sold were two couches a recliner a bar and bench and barstools and our kitchen table and chairs, and some shelving honestly beside kitchen stuff and and a few furniture pieces like coffee table and shelfs and two end tables our stuff is mostly outdoor recreation things like paddle board and paddle, snowboards and the gear, river floats, volleyball net and baseball gloves and things our family enjoys doing outdoors, our jeep gear like the top and the doors and then tools my husband is a contractor so there is not a ton most are kept on his truck but a few things always stay in the garage. Then their is the daughters games and my work stuff I do Nail by trade and then a few totes of books and photos and then the paperwork from my husbands business ugh the worst part is we have to keep at least 5 years. My washer and dryer which is the one thing if I have a house I never want to part with I hate laundry mats with a purple passion.
So now as I sit here using very little of this stuff I wonder what I can really do without!!!
Now I am working on less and to each one of us our journey for less is different depending on our circumstances and we just need to figure out what that exactly is...So I am welcoming you to follow my journey on what is less to me I am hoping to continue to downsize. See you on the next Blog Post
