At one point or another, everyone comes across a shoebox. Whether from buying your own shoes, or way back when you were a kid, and you got ahold of the box from a parent who had to replace their old worn out pair of work...

Spella Not me! I keep them, plus where I work I can take home the boxes left behind from guests. I have an endless supply!

Spella Growing up, my sisters and I kept all the feathers, rocks, seashells, stamps, anything we found and liked. I think I still have a box from that long ago...

Spella My family too! Did you know chili is sometimes classified as a soup? Chili was a winter staple growing up.

Spella I love brownies! I'm feeling great, but I know not to push it, an injured back is a fragile thing.

Spella Oh I'ma resting! I'm just a bit of a workaholic, so sometimes it's hard to take care of myself. But my husband is helping me with that :)

Spella @norcal For now, yes. my goal is to become a level of minimalist that makes life more comfortable for me. I don't know if I will ever become a "true" minimalist, but having goals help drive me :)

Spella My family didn't prepare a turkey for Thanksgiving, we had Pizza. And that was a nice change and was very tasty. For Christmas though, we usually have ham. My dad's ham gravy so good!

Spella @Jessicalynnt That's great! I started out like that, before I moved out of my dad's. Growing up, I was kind of a hoarder, so many toys, gadgets, souvenirs, and it was too much to take with me. So, like you, I took it one shelf at time. My sisters were there...

Spella I hope they transitioned well with the change! I am preparing myself for smaller living, because it might be all we can afford once my husband graduates and is employed (we most likely will have to move to the job).

Spella Go ahead and fill it! As long as you love what you have! I still have quite a few things I don't "need" but they hold memories, and I still need to display them, so that they are not in a box, hiding that memory from me. With minimalism, I can have cake and...

Spella It sure does! And it's less time to clean too. The more I had before, it seemed I would put off the washing and then it would pile up. Now it's so much easier!
