It is a slow process for us but it is getting done slowly but surely. I can already start to see some progress. We had a yard sale and got rid of quite a bit and a ton of clothing and housewares is going to Goodwill today. It feels so good to let all that stuff go.

We have been wanting to replace our kitchen counters for awhile now but the cost has deterred us. We love the look and feel of granite but the expense is huge. Is there a different material that is similar but lower in cost?

We are trying to get rid of all the odd, extra things we seem to have acquired. When we moved in together we never really got rid of the extras and it is making life miserable to have all the stuff. For example, I discovered that we have 4, yes 4, slow cookers. We only use 1! The house is going...
