We were packing away the beach supplies the other day and I found a bag with “something” in it. I was clever enough to store whatever it was in an air tight bag so I knew it was clean the next time I wanted it. Unfortunately I put it inside a BLACK garbage bag, making it very difficult to guess what it was. 😀 oops.
We were all (especially Chloe and Josiah) happy to discover what was hiding in the bag!
And speaking of old treasures… I’m on a mission this fall to get rid of the extra “junk” floating around in our house. I’m calling it the “Fall 500 Purge.” I’m going to throw away 250 items and give away 250 items. I suppose if I’m really ambitious I could have a garage sale… but we’ll see what kind of things I find… and how long it takes me… As of right now I’m up to 12 toss / 27 give. I have a ways to go!
In a crazy coincidence, I just finished reading 7:An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess by Jen Hatmaker and was so inspired that I was thinking that I should spend next week finding things that we could give away.
