Yesterday’s post about excessive shopping and our patterns of consumption made me continue to think about the subject. I though about how I could keep my habits under control and not feel like I want to run out and get things new new new, all the time. I easily get bored with what I’m wearing [...]

These days we’re doing a lot of furniture hunting and decorating at home, we’re still in the process of making our house a home.
