Since our stuff got here on Monday morning, I have been unpacking. And unpacking. And unpacking.

Seriously, why do we have so much stuff?

We downsized moving from the house to the apartment for two months, taking only what we could fit in a couple loads of the Traverse. Then, when coming to Seattle, we knew we would only have what we checked on the airplane for a few weeks.

I picked these three pair of shoes. It was liberating. Need to wear sandals? Here’s the pair. No looking around, no choosing, no matching. Just put on shoes and go! The girls only had two pairs each. It was so great to tell them to put their shoes on. Everything was faster and more streamlined…all with less thinking.

I really want to extend the limited selection to other areas too. Maybe if I get brave, I can venture into the world of seven day closets or capsule wardrobes.
