The concept is called "40 bags in 40 days" and everyone is loving it!Katie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10486936156590676561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113182910687820979.post-73027384696549394392010-03-16T11:19:33.255-05:002010-03-16T11:19:33.255-05:00This is really awesome.

I have been feeling this way, and yesterday went through Hailee's things and got rid of a trash bag full of what she didn't use, or could stand to donate. Then today I am doing the same thing in Ethan's room. I always go through clothes and get rid of them because I do not have space for more than a certain amount per person in our family. With all of the renovations going on, on our home, we have been forced to rid ourselves of unnecessary things, and use what is only needed. Truly needed. It has been nice, and I believe we are being taught the very same lesson as you. I think God wants all His children to know this lesson. <br />Thanks for the blog. It was a good one.Lady Dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600102377578957468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113182910687820979.post-66826591823244545922010-03-16T11:13:03.652-05:002010-03-16T11:13:03.652-05:00Yea!!!
