Simple Living: Newborn Essentials

Last year, I shared a post about how I was decluttering our home and becoming more intentional about bringing *stuff* into our family’s space.  Less stuff meant less time spent organising, cleaning, and being distracted from what was really important.  It was liberating!  I found that limiting our possessions to what was truly useful and loved was so much better… {read more}
