Do you re-read books? I must admit I don't do it very often, even though I do have the terrible habit of forgetting the ending of books (Even though man of the house can remember them years...and years later. I realised this when I started reading King Solomon's Mine when we were first married. He had read it when he was 12...ten years later he told me the whole plot and could name all the characters. I have trouble remembering what happened in the Harry Potter book I read last week).
Anyway, at the moment I am re-reading one of my favourite books (well of the non-fiction genre anyway)...
Peter Walsh is the guru of home organisation and using (hence needing) less stuff. I think it is one of those books I will have to re-read many times in my life. I love his advice about space in your home. I always think I need a bigger house, but he basically says that you just have to limit what you own/buy to the space you have. (But he obviously says it in a better way than that). Does this quest for a clean, uncluttered, organised home ever end???
Thanks for the book idea Kara, I'm going to look this up at the library. I have recently been thinking I have too much stuff hiding in cupboards waiting for this future time in my life when I can use. Eg lovely glass bowls and vases etc. I have made it a challenge to clean out in my husband's uni mid year break. Hopefully Peter can help me to let it all go.
