“The Simple Things” is a regular feature here, on no set schedule, (obviously, since I haven’t done one in months!) of links around the internet I have found to be inspiring and/or fun to read. Each time I put one of these posts up I will include a picture from my own life showing the things that are important to me and my Simple. Organized. Life., and here is this week’s photo:

That’s my iPhone home screen – I only keep the apps I use daily on that page. There are many more on other pages, but at least the home screen is organized and simple!
You Simplified writes a Great Expectations Manifesto – 21 Guidelines for my Children on Living an Authentic Life. Every parent should read this.
Emily from Remodeling This Life says that childhood won’t wait, and I could not agree more.
Everyday Minimalist talks about getting rid of furniture as a way to force ourselves to de-clutter. What do you think?
Rowdy Kittens has a post up for you ladies (or men, I don’t discriminate) who wear make up called “Minimalist Make-up and Beauty“.
Simple Savvy wants you to pare down your online obligations. This is something I struggle with daily, and have started implementing “tech-free Saturdays” to try to bring some sanity back into my life.
And finally, Far Beyond The Stars tells us How Anticipation is the Least Minimalist Emotion. Amen to that…but it’s a tough one to get rid of.
Thanks for linking to me today! I checked out the Everyday Minimalist’s link about getting rid of furniture and really liked it — although I’m not sure I agree with everything. Still processing it, though — what do you think?
Wow. I love that iPhone image. While iPhones are great, I’ve always found their user interface to be inherently cluttered. I can’t believe I never thought to push some icons off the home screen. Thanks!
Thanks for the link love!
I love the photo of your iPhone screen. I’ve done something similar with my iTouch. I moved my email and twitter app’s back a page because I was obsessively checking them. 🙂
Great links! 🙂
Sorry I missed the link – thanks very much!!
