    Letting go. I wouldn’t say I am a hoarder, but I see something and think I need it. I have a ton of stationary and my pantry is full. I love to send thank you and thinking of you notes and I like to have things to serve to guests, just in case someone stops by.

    I have a 5 week old baby so my life definitely needs some uncomplicating. I was fortunate enough to receive tons of hand-me-downs but I really need to organize them! Also with the lack of sleep I can never seem to find my keys, my coupons and my brain! lol

    Keep it Simple… My insides of my kitchen cabinets are a mess. I will be participating in a Pantry Challenge to get rid of a lot of the stuff I DON’T EVEN REMEMBER I HAVE, like that Moroccan couscous prepared meal that I bought for emergencies (a year ago).
