Just a reminder that I am away for a couple of weeks and posting will be sporadic at best. I am going to try to take an actual vacation that doesn’t involve sitting in front of the computer every day! If you are interested in writing a guest post for while I am away, please use my contact form and get in touch – would be more than happy to run one. Let me know, and see you soon!
“The Simple Things” is a regular feature here, on no set schedule, of links around the internet I have found to be inspiring and/or fun to read.

One of the things you should do when out for a walk is to look down once in a while at the ground under your feet.

Emily at Remodeling This Life talks about how some things never change. And I am so glad these type of things don’t!
Tammy over at Small Living Journal discusses Food and Cooking in Tiny Homes.
Christine from Simple Savvy talks about the best $5 she ever spent to stay uncluttered. That is definitely a few bucks well-spent!

Thanks for linking to me this week David! I hope you’re not working too hard at the decluttering on the East Coast.
