STUFF!

Why do we all have so much STUFF?!?  I am so over all this crap in my house!  There was once a time when I didn't care how much stuff I had.  What happened to that old me?  Maybe I became a hoarder?  Or maybe I just became a normal American. 

Do I have all these books so that I look smarter when people come over?  Does having more clothes in my closet make me prettier or better than the girl beside me?  Would a bigger, better, newer television make me seem wealthier?  Cooler?  Better than you? And do I even care about these things?!? NOOOO!!

WE DO NOT NEED THESE THINGS TO BE HAPPY!  I promise you.  We could be perfectly happy with 5 shirts, 2 pants and 2 dresses.  Or one purse.  Or even one or no televisions in the house.  So I am going to simplify my life and simplify my mind.  It will probably take me a month or more considering I have a 10 month old but I will do it!  I do not want Asher growing up thinking his happiness or self worth comes from what we do or do not have. 

This is what my house looks like
