Living Life in Small Town Ontario has it's ups, downs and drama.
I hope you'll join me as I try to share what works and what
doesn't in a family dealing with economic stress,
disabilities and just plain life on lifes terms.

We're Packing!!
I wish I were 30 again packing to move would be a whole lot easier, when I was 30 I just had a small one bedroom to pack.
Now it's a three bedroom townhouse and we're moving into a two bedroom apartment talk about having to down size.
I've had 2 yard sales and given 2 boxes of extra kitchen items to the Woman's shelter.
It still seems like we have a lot of stuff to pack though.
I'm still trying to think where we will put it all.
I still have to buy blinds for the place to and some mats for the bathroom. I think I'll wait until we get there though then I'll be able to go to Walmart then and its just a few big blocks away from the apartment building.
The stuff we have to get rid of though thank goodness for Freecycle, Re-Use It, and Full Circle London and the charities in Stratford that will take stuff and pick it up.
Well 8 boxes ready and only 80 to go well maybe not that many if I get rid of some clothes.
Anything I've never worn or haven't worn in six month is the rule from major de-cluttering sites lets see that's most of my closet and half my dressers.
This might be easier than I thought.
The futons I bought are both double size so double sheets we keep and all the queen size fitted sheets can go in the recycle pile.
This could be fun this recycle, re-use and give to a good cause stuff I get rid of stuff I don't need or want anymore and somebody who needs it gets it.
I think I'll promote the others to so if your de-cuttering, downsizing or just don't need something anymore don't send it to the dump give it to a good cause.
