Summer Cleaning

I have been on a cleaning and purging spree this summer.  We've gotten rid of several boxes of stuff that I had no clue we had or needed.  It started out with clearing out some of the kids' toys as our oldest's birthday approached.  We anticipated several new toys coming and realized that they don't even play with half of the toys they already had.  From there, a massive clean-up happened in anticipation of a family visit that never happened (but that's a story for another day).  Oh, the dust bunnies we found around the house...we could've created another cat out of it.  I have to give much credit to Daddy for clearing out a lot of his old hobbies and "projects" that have been lingering around the house.  I've been reading a lot of minimalism/simple living blogs lately and they have been a great inspiration to get us on track. We've been talking about the possibility of moving into an RV at some point but we would have to drop a lot of things to do that.  Hopefully, once we get things a little more organized and decluttered, I'll post some pictures of our progress.
