We have had a gorgeous and busy weekend. Hopefully these links will lead you nicely into a bright new week.
If you are not inspired to get started by at least one of these terrific decluttering resources then you should probably sign up for your own episode of Hoarders now, because you’re incurable.
Seize your mornings! We don’t necessarily agree with all of this advice, but the idea of developing a great relationship with mornings appeals to us.
How to be a cheap bastard. What would you do with the savings? We’d like to travel…or (says the sensible voice on the shoulder) pay off more of our mortgage.
We have started to notice a huge improvement in our happiness. We’re normally pretty happy people but lately we’ve felt radiantly happy. This advice is really great advice for those of you who would like to be happier. Happiness is really worth striving for. It makes everything easier and better.
Some great tips for living simply with kids.
Hip hop humour. This reminds Mama of the time we ‘accidentally’ went to a medieval festival in New York and one of the referees of the quiddich match was wearing a t-shirt with the slogan “I’ve got 99 problems but a snitch ain’t one”. Clever and dorky. (Clorky?)
Surprising things that the writers of Back to the Future correctly predicted. Was Back to the Future written by secret scientists? Or is technological development just really boringly predictable?
A great article about Big Poppa’s favourite artist at the moment.
This is an issue that really upsets us as parents of a daughter and makes us both glad that we’re able to pass on to Little Fearse many toys from our own childhood that don’t suffer from skankification.
Kids are funny, these parents know.
And finally, Little Fearse’s video of the week.
Have a great Monday.

On decluttering, this may be of interest: http://simplicitycollective.com/how-to-live-simply-the-de-junking-guide-by-mark-a-burch (and while he’s reposting from Mark Burch in this particular case, Sam’s work more generally if you’re not already familiar–I have a copy of his book that you can borrow some time).

Thanks for the link, Josh. It’s a very interesting article. Although I’ve found many decluttering articles reiterate the same information (which I find valuable as it is often approaching it from a new angle) this article really delved into the spiritual value of decluttering that is often neglected. I love the idea of thinking of unused items from a justice perspective. I’ve had difficulty lately with items I’ve intended to fix or restore (that have been sitting around for yonks unfixed or restored). I find it hard to let go of the potential that those items could become useful. I need to readjust my thinking. I appreciate the link. E xox
