Just ask around. My son’s old play masks are going to his drama teacher and these neck ties from a declutter client are going to the Art and Drama departments to share. We finally received the two secondhand sewing machines Art had been asking for so they can sew or weave the ties. I don’t…

I’ve been working on minimalism, simplicity, having a kid (they have so much stuff) and moderation for years. It is an ongoing process so don’t feel like you are behind. I…
Our Adams Creamy Natural Peanut Butter from Smuckers unboxing. When I made this video it really hit home how much packaging this is. I wish my HEB had not stopped selling this peanut butter that we really like that comes in a glass jar with a metal lid because having it shipped is a lot…
