Happy March!

February was still very much a time of grief over the passing of my grandma. I'm also helping my mom with the big task of going through my grandparents' home. It's a very big house and my grandma was quite the collector, so it's a big task.

While doing this I'm also decluttering my own home so that I have space for things that are important to me from my grandparents. My grandma and I shared a lot of interests so there is a lot of her stuff that I love and that brings back good memories.

I'd rather be surrounded by her things, which often are better quality than what you can buy now, than random things I hold no sentimental attachment to.

Since my home is only 1,350 square feet I will have to be careful and I'm sure I can't keep everything I want to but it will bring me joy to see her things around me so making as much space as I can.

Both my mom and I will be sharing a lot about this journey. I'll share in email and also I'll share some more personal things on my Facebook to subscribers. I've done this to add a layer of protection. It's only $0.99, just to keep the trolls away. You can subscribe on my Facebook if you want to see those posts in your feed.

I hope you had a good February!
