Let’s Try This Again
Last year I wanted to go on a shopping ban. My credit card bills were out of control, I have two kids in daycare, and I am still paying student loans on top of a mortgage. One day I broke. I talked about it in another post, My Shopping Ban Was A Test Run, but […]

When your mind decides it does not want to be a minimalist
