As we are going through our things, we realize how much we've accumulated...things we DON'T need. It feels so great to purge our house and really ask ourselves what we need and don't need. We're moving from a townhouse to an apartment, so this question is very important during our move. Questions such as, do I really need 3 woks? Or, wow, where did that electric water boiler come from? Or, gosh, why didn't we ever install that portable bidet in the toilet? I am trying to imagine how it'd be if we were moving from a 4 bedroom house...actually, I'd rather not imagine that!
Next time you find yourself in a Home Goods or Target, ask yourself...do I really need that?

Great advice. It is so easy to get "stuff" along the way . I always envy my friends who started out in a small 400 sq ft space when they were first married, compared to Sono and I in MI who decided to furnish a 2000 sq ft home. That was what made it so hard to pick a place back East .. we had already had the movers pack our ENTIRE house and couldn't afford a house half as large to put all the stuff in !!! You are doing a great job !!
