Although it’s been awhile since I blogged about my minimalism/simplicity journey, don’t let that fool you– It’s still as much on my mind as it ever was. Here’s the problem with where I’m currently at though—I’ve realized that when you’re about to have a baby, you suddenly acquire a LOT more stuff. Like, a …
