Downsizing to a Minimalist

We're out of the house and back into an apartment. Not a big deal for us. Some repairs were made to the house but there was so much wrong with it. It needed more work than we were told, plumbing, structure, etc. Just goes to show you even if you think the repair job is good you could run into more than you can handle.

One of the things we're going to have to fix is the amount of stuff we have! From the 15k sqft house to a 700sqft apartment things certainly do NOT  fit. So how to make it fit? First we downsized out entertainment center from a 2 piece to a small 1 piece that fits just the tv and game system. The desk has gone from a corner desk to a single top desk. And no more dining room. That last part is the only sad thing about it all.

But what did we do with all the stuff? We sold most of it! Between Craigslist and a yard sale we got rid of many things we didn't need and made a small profit. The rest of it went to charity. Since we don't have room I didn't want to keep it all here; we didn't see the point in renting a storage unit for things we don't need. So, out it went!

Here's to a less cluttered home!

All I want for Christmas is a new AIO...

AIO (All in One) is a type of diaper that closely resembles a disposable diaper in shape and design. I happened to have come across a great deal on AIOs recently. Since my baby girl has all but outgrown the prefolds I have this is perfect timing. Not only do we have the money but the person selling them is pricing them way below cost because they have quit cloth diapering.

I'm so excited that tomorrow I will have in my hands new, to me, AIOs and I just can't wait!

I am a little hesitant about what condition the diapers are in. If this woman is selling them so cheap there must be something wrong with them right? I really hope they are fine and she actually is just looking to get rid of her stash.

Well whatever the outcome of tomorrow may be I am still very excited and hopeful! Soon I may have 12 new AIOs to add to my diaper stash. I'm relieved that I found a good deal on the size I need since I've waited so long to buy them. I've been hoping I wouldn't have to pay full price and that I would get them on sale. I guess my wish has come true.

Stay green,
