The Clean Home

HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!!!! ;). Come on in.....

But first look at this little bird atop a leafless tree.  How is he staying on there? What is he doing? Enjoying the morning sun amidst the mist as I am? 

He is to me a picture of Faith.

 I love clean. Don't we all? It's hard to obtain...a daily struggle...WORK. But under this mess we call "life"....there is a clean palate waiting to be found. 

I find clean to mean simple, minimal, clutter less ....LESS. For me, when my home is in disarray, there is disarray in our lives. I read a wonderful article recently from the founder of the Montessori school. She described a child's mind, and how when there is clutter in their physical surroundings, they are unable to be creative. Their palate should be clean, simple, and LESS to allow them to explore and gravitate toward creativity. I. Just. Love. That.

I am working to have less, as we all should.  GIVE away things that you are not using. For no one ever became poor from giving! 

So here is "My Monday Project" a file cabinet. Josh is so happy!! This one is cute so it makes filing fun :) From Target. 

How many reusable bags do you own now?? Must get a big basket, fold them, and find a nice little organized home for them!  It will make you happy.

I don't like a lot of clutter when arranging tables, so I am using a burlap runner I made and a simple piece of Annie glass with a fall candle.

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
