I love this time of the day when the children are entertaining themselves (they are playing with the rice box ) and we have no appointments, and I get the opportunity to declutter and reorganize. Of course I also get easily distracted. Anyway, while pouring over a file I had not seen in a long time (ha, it's called my "Frugal Living" file), I came across this little saying I copied from somewhere.  Since I'm going to trash a lot of things from that file, I thought I should at least save this saying. It's good and applies to lots of things we spend or want to spend money on.

USE IT UP.
WEAR IT OUT.
MAKE IT DO.
DO WITHOUT.

Hmm...food for thought as I go back to my decluttering.

Just what I needed to hear! There is so much to be said for simple living, isn't there? In many ways I believe it to be the key to contented living.

Thanks for stopping by Robin's Nest, Mikko!

This is great - I think I need to put it on my refridgerator! ( :

My recent post has to do with the same ideas - I have been reading John Locke's reasoning on private property and God brought the personal application to me awhile back - such good stuff! I love the whole work=ownership principle! Very applicable to your saying you posted here. ( :

Blessings,
