I read Lorilee's book 3-2-1 Stop this spring. It really resonated with some things that have been stirring in my own heart and mind, and I asked her to share more about her journey with you... Written by Lorilee Lippincott, Guest Writer I was always good at organizing. I had never been accused of being a horder. I usually knew what I had and where it was. I was just like any other mom with 2000 square feet of happy home and little feet. But [...]
This fall, my husband and I began to go through our possessions, attempting to really clear out the unnecessary items as much as possible. We got rid of almost 2 van loads of stuff, which is hard to believe. Even harder to believe is the fact that we don't miss any of it. At all. Instead, we found that we enjoy being in our home more, and we spend less time cleaning and maintaining things. Having less proved to be a very, very good thing. [...]

Written by Erin Odom, Contributing Writer My family operates on a tight budget. And since having children, there hasn't been much--if any--room in that budget for adding to mine or my husband's wardrobe. But just over a year ago I discovered a way to increase my wardrobe--without spending any money: a women's clothing exchange. Image by agador My Sister's Closet A local church where I attend a weekly Bible study has hosted a women's clothing exchange called My Sister's Closet for several years. Although I never would have [...]
Written by Natalie Klejwa, Contributing Writer I'm not a child expert or anything. I've had a few babies. I've learned over the years that there is a lot of paraphernalia out there you could purchase or register for to get ready for your new family member, but most of it is completely unnecessary and a total waste of money. This is my list of the good stuff that I have not regretted purchasing, and some of it I have only recently discovered. I wish I [...]
As 2011 comes to an end, we’re sharing helpful lists to help you save money, stay healthy, get organized, creatively repurpose, frugally gift-give, intentionally celebrate and more in our “11 Things for 2011” series throughout these holiday months. As I've been learning that less is more and working hard to purge and pare down the things that we own, I've been reminded of the beauty of having multi-purpose appliances.
