My Big Girl

My little baby is now a "big girl". Over the past week she has decided to be done with her diapers.

There hasn't been much fanfare...she just did it on her own and we're all so happy! She is still wearing diapers at night, but today we went to play group and even took a nap with just undies and she did great.

And being that she was on a roll with the big girl stuff, she decided to start her own business too. :)

Happy Friday!

It's been a little crazy 'round here! :-) and now my computer is at Apple for repairs until next week...so no "real" blogging for me. Wordpress iPhone blogging is enough to drive a girl insane!

We said goodbye to Rachel (above) Chad, and Oliver on Tue...had a wonderful time (photos coming!).

I pick up Monica at the airport this afternoon and it's going to be an amazing, 80 degrees and sunny weekend with Farmer's Markets, hooping, Pearl St, tea, and good food!

See you all next week!

Going TV Free + The Minimalist Resource Guide

Don't worry, we haven't been robbed. :)

We've decided to live life a bit more fully...which means that the large TV that used to sit here has been returned thanks to a generous return policy at Costco. We are making some big changes in our life...and this is one of them. The room already feels completely different and we love it.

We are not anti-television. We enjoy it and feel that it does have educational benefits. We just didn't want it to be the main focus of our evenings and weekends anymore. We want our focus to be on relationships and connection...and getting rid of the TV just made a lot of sense for us right now. We are cancelling cable, but will keep one TV to watch movies/Netflix...just not in the living room.

I have big plans for this empty corner...it will involve paint and hanging things and light and other yummy stuff. Stay tuned for that update :)

One of my most recent eBook discoveries is "The Minimalist Mom" and it's partially responsible for our TV exodus. I LOVE Dusti's bold stance on her beliefs and I am completely inspired by her passion to live life on her terms. She recently compiled an AMAZING minimalism resource list. It will rock your world.

She also just launched a new blog, Undefinable You with all kinds of goodies happening in the next month. Check it out...she's a little firecracker :)

I am working on a new series about minimalism and the first post is on how I am downsizing my wardrobe...can't wait to share it with you all!

Have you gotten rid of your TV and/or cable? I'd love to hear your thoughts about it and how it has changed your life...
