    KEEP IT SIMPLE!

    Paper is one of my biggest problems. I just can’t seem to keep on top of it, so every few weeks I end up spending an hour or two sorting through all of the magazines, catalogs, credit card offers, charity begging letters, etc., that have invaded my home.

    My other issue is, having moved into my house last May and not quite finished the task of unpacking and organizing, I have two rooms that bare a striking resemblance to a certain room in the Petersik home… ;)

    KEEP IT SIMPLE!

    Everything could use some un-complicating right now. I leave to study abroad in France for six months in 15 days so I’m scurrying around getting everything ready. We’re also trying to deal with the unexpected death of my boyfriend’s sister and my aunt’s terminal cancer now that she’s been given less than two months to live. It’s hard to deal with the idea that I probably won’t be here when she dies, but she refuses to let me stay home because of her illness. I’d love for something to actually un-complicate itself for once lately.

    KEEP IT SIMPLE! It’s a game of dominoes – we have to get our nursery in order, but before we do that we have to find space for the items in the closet elsewhere, and so on. But, ultimately, I need major simplification in my career path! This is an AWESOME giveaway!!
