12 tiny decluttering projects + 22 things minimalists don’t own

Weekend Wisdom: When an appointment cancels don’t replace it with more to-dos. Embrace the space and take it for yourself.

I spent last weekend in Portland, OR and I could not have had a better time. We went to the Portland Japanese Gardens, had dinner on Mississippi Street and visited the food trucks. The best part of course was spending time with my daughter, her boyfriend and their dogs. We had a dog pool party in the backyard, a Swedish pancake Sunday brunch and squeezed the life out of our time together. The only hard part was the goodbye. There were so many beautiful moments that I’ll be holding onto.

Ok … onto the favorites
