If you’ve read my Big 3 post for my February goals, you’ll know that one of my main goals for this month is to do a big clean-out of both of our freezers, since we have stuff that’s been in there for AGES. As our income is on the lighter side in the winter anyway, …
As I continue on in my journey towards minimalism, I am officially somewhere in the “messy middle” — that transitory state between The Constant Chaos That Once Reigned and Ultra-Streamlined Minimalist Zen.
