Christine Kane just posted a great new something to her blog called “56 Things You Can Toss Out Now.” It is a great list of things that you can definitely get rid of, and I particularly like it because she so simply lays out at the start of her list why we hold onto things: [...]

This morning while we were driving into school, the hubby turned to me and said “If you want to become one of those women that makes enough money from her blog to support the family so I wouldn’t have to work, that would be okay with me!” It made me giggle for a moment, knowing [...]
