On Acquisition of Stuff
In Minimalist Parenting, Asha and I talk about the concept of want/need/love when it comes to material things. This quote (shared on TODAY/NBC last week) pretty much sums up how I feel about acquisition of stuff.
We cover this and so much more in Minimalist Parenting. Pre-order the book now via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Powell’s! And sign up for our mailing list! We have a cool announcement coming soon!
Love that quote regarding being a curator rather than consumer!! I am very critical of my parenting. I hope this book can free me from my own chains…
It’s so easy to be critical, isn’t it, Kim? One of our biggest hopes for this book is that it encourages you and nudges you to trust yourself,
I applied this idea to my deep freeze this weekend. What I have left after a frost-induced cleanout is a well organized freezer full of “special” things that we’ve made or imported. (Rather than a hoard of things we can buy at the store 2 miles away…)
