I love the idea of cutting back, cutting down, getting rid of all the "extras". That being said, I think that there is a balance to it--I have no intention of cutting down my belongings to 100 or less items, the way many of the extreme minimalists live. But I think our society encourages consumerism and having 'stuff' and, when it comes down to it, this is not a good way to live--just trying to get the next thing, the better thing, getting more (or better?) stuff. It just isn't the way I'd like to live my life.
What got me thinking about this was a recent article in Mothering.com from the Minimalist Mom, who has her own blog here. It is inspiriting to begin cutting things down, cutting things out.
Then again, Pesach is coming very soon, so that will take priority, of course!
G-d willing I will post Purim pictures soon. HaSafran and I both dressed up for the first time in our marriage.
