I live in fear of having to do the same after gathering things and more children in my current home of 7 years. There must be some peace that comes with the simplicity of living with only the few most needed of your possessions. And there is the bonus of being able to find new treasures like your painting. What a nice surprise it must have been to receive it!Petrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07965045588836018153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-47226433971474446122014-03-02T22:52:36.655-05:002014-03-02T22:52:36.655-05:00Very pretty painting!

Getting all those broken items fixed is a good idea. If it is important enough to keep then it should be well maintained. Like the painting. It is hard to make those tough decisions especially when kids are involved. This last overseas move we let the girls keep and ship quite a lot. We had free shipping available. We still would have put those items as priority but maybe not so many. It was emotionally important for them with tough goodbyes and transitions.

My husband and I bought a farmhouse in April and he was working alone trying to do all the work. Luckily we just hired a few people to help finish so we can move in April. I am due with our first baby girl in May. Your story is very inspiring and all too familiar. I loved the simplicity of your farmhouse. Do you plan on dong more renovations? Just curious. We live 20 minutes east of Pittsburgh. I'm so happy to have found your blog.
