We are becoming minimalists!

After moving from Idaho we realized we have a ton of junk! The move to Texas is going to be pricey for the truck, so we have decided a detailed cleaning and inventory of our things is needed. We started with an idea from Steve and Laura Lee. They have the most impressive collection of DVDs but none of the covers. We took our 2 boxes and dwindled our DVD collection into one sufficient binder. It was surprising to see the amount of waste a DVD cover really is.

Without trying we purchased a "green" binder. It isn't even made out of recycled materials, but rather sustainable materials like cotton. I have never felt so environmentally friendly in my life, but it was the cheapest one :)

This addition to the post is again about Brody. I haven't had a dog for the 4+ years I've been away at college. Having Brody around again has made me realize that I am a lot happier when I have a dog annoying me for my attention. My mom knew Brody would love this cheap toy and he did... it took him 2 minutes to love the stuffing out of it.

My mom purchased Brody a new coat during the freezing temperatures recently. I tried to get her to realize Brody was a boy... and a more manly coat would do wonders for his masculinity. She felt that the fakefur lining would keep him snug. Now I no longer have a Brody but a Brodina (that's my attempt at being funny :) it worked well right???)
