I think we can finally say "Yes, our priorities are matching up with how we choose to live in the world."
For instance, some of our priorities are:
1. Lot of family time, watching movies, going to places, experiencing many different opportunites, cultures, food, atmosphere.
2. School- for all 3 of us.
3. Health and well being
By actually downsizing and focusing less of cleaning, organizing and "Stuff", I am finding the priorities in our lives are getting the attention they deserve. We have completly overhauled our lifestyles to achieve these things.
I no longer spend hours cleaning a house and sorting, sorting, sorting and hoping it stays clean for more than an hour. Now, I come home to a pretty clean, neat, calm house and can relax and not rush around to get things done. I also now have made a bi-weekly appointmetn for a pedicure and a monthly appointment to get my hair done. Honestly, before, I never had the time. This increases my happiness and self love, which reflects back to my family.
Charlie now plays with the toys he loves and the rest were donated (I kept a small bin of the one's I love for smaller kiddos,,,because you never know  ). It was tough but now, he can pick out one certain thing to play with and pick up is a breeze. I just need to find a wooden toy box for all of his things.
We now also have time for board games as a family. It is great to lazily play for 2 hours and enjoy the fun.
