Latest Attempt

I've done Project 333 before with great success - but not lasting success.  Are you familiar with this concept? You basically purge your wardrobe & wear only 33 items for 3 months.  It's a great seasonal exercise!  Underwear, sleepwear, & workout clothing don't count so that helps...& you can store your unused clothes in a box or closet in case you really miss something.  But, if at the end of the 3 months you don't miss what you've set aside you can just pass it along or sell it!  The free swap is coming up next month with our homeschool group, a perfect opportunity for me to do this challenge again & refresh the closet for spring.....

Spring!?

Beautiful, crazy weather

Upside down pic?? of Ben's Star Wars drawings - he really spent a lot of time on these!
