i had counted on this being MY WORD of 2012. What does the word simplify actually mean. It means to make less complicated, make things easier. That sounds easy enough. WRONG but I do have a plan. Sort of. :)I am not sure how all the parts will be executed but I am working on the beginning. Pull up a chair, sit and stay a while and let me tell you what is going on with me, Julie, Mother, country girl stuck in city, how I plan to execute simplicity in my life and the lives of those that I love.
I have started with the small things. For example, there are two children's consignment sales in Hattiesburg that happen two times each every year. I resale some of the kids clothes but for the last few sales I have consigned and volunteered in both. They are usually just a month apart and it is a lot of work to get the clothes together. I decided that choosing one of the sales to participate in made more sense. It took up less time and put less stress on me. I know this is petty but I did say I am starting small. Along with this simple task I also made a decision not to accept every birthday/shower etc.. invitation we receive. Soon enough my babies will be in grade school and there will be all sorts of activities and parties, right now we are gonna limit them. Our passion is our farm and so I am really trying to focus on it, our place there and making memories.
