Sometimes I don't bother asking because I know what they are super proud of and what's just a random cross word or scribble that they don't care for. They're used to the idea that we make art, display our favourites, and toss the rest. They don't really question it. They know that we don't have the space for too much so when I ask them to keep one and recycle the rest, they do so fairly painlessly. Toys are even easier to purge because we talk about how we can be generous to another child and give it to them since we don't use it much, which they seem to like :)Emily Morricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331780147271948152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463680716547634421.post-64164730157865751942017-06-07T21:21:01.069-04:002017-06-07T21:21:01.069-04:00Thanks for sharing your struggles!

As my youngest is almost two I am now getting rid of all the baby things which makes me so excited! We live in a small space and I grew up in the same triplex so being creative with storage and being cut throat about stuff is soo key! Christmas and my kids birthdays are 6 months apart so every 6 months we do a toy purge right before we know they will be getting gifts. It's become a habit and they expect it. Ive been really struggling with the art work! I don't know what to do with and there is soo much! I was thinking about photographing the pieces for the kids or maybe at the end of a month go through the stuff and keep the best? Do the kids know you are recycling it or do you do it without their knowledges?Daliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07312090166918581302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463680716547634421.post-80029441996020787562017-06-06T16:50:34.776-04:002017-06-06T16:50:34.776-04:00EXACTLY.

If you see your available living space as extending beyond the walls of your house suddenly you have so many more options! And yes to minimalism being a verb! It's crazy how stuff accumulates even when you are trying to be vigilante. It seems that every 6 months we start craving for a ruthless decluttering.

Living on Scotland, having space for all the required outer wear is a real struggle, but like you said we really pair down all our other clothing and shoes and that helps a lot.Brittany @ Real Food Simple Lifehttp://realfoodsimplelife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463680716547634421.post-68496555354064167012017-06-06T09:18:47.098-04:002017-06-06T09:18:47.098-04:00This is such a great post, Em, and I appreciate yo...This is such a great post, Em, and I appreciate your honesty!
