I live in the Midwest with my family. Growing up in a large family, we had enough, but with the specter of inflation and bad job market (gotta love the 70’s and 80’s) , there was definitely a feeling of needing to make sure you had a cushion. I want my family to have what they need and be comfortable.

I love going to garage sales. This past weekend, I went out garage sailing just for fun. I really didn’t want it, but hubby thought it looked neat and was a family ‘heirloom’ So it got in the van for the trip home. She gave first choice of the items to her 4 children and their families.

Everywhere you look, television, billboards, the Internet, magazines, newspapers and radios try to tell us what we need to buy and consume in order to be happy. One of them kept it at their house in the garage, but each time there was a snow storm they each got their chance to use it, taking turns doing both of their driveways.

My husband and I aren’t constant consumers. I have a soft spot for good sales, whether they be at the local retail store (I bought way too many Gymboree shirts for my daughter when they were on sale for $3.99) or at a garage sale. While we’re decluttering, we’re learning a lot about where the clutter comes from.
