in remembrance

December 7, 2010 Ashley

Sunday, December 7, 1941. Shortly before 8am. The rumblings of a second world war were the much-discussed topic for the citizens of the United States.

The goal is to declutter, which should help make your home look nicer and your life more organized. Other advantages: 1. You might find things you’d forgotten you had. 2. We usually have more Stuff than we need. Most of the time, we have good intentions but…
