Favorite Things

| weekend plans include Birchbox and finishing The History of Love |

Happy Friday! If there was one theme for this week – it was catch-up. After two very busy months, I was finally able to dedicate a good portion of the week to getting re-organized. I took several trips to donation centers and recycled 6 grocery bags filled with magazines. Six! It’s a little alarming at how quickly magazines can accumulate into enormous piles. When catalogs arrive in our mailbox I do the same thing every time. I set them aside with the dream of relaxing in a chair with a cup of coffee in one hand and a magazine in the other. Which basically never happens. Even my husband knows this will never happen and he is always trying to toss them as soon as my back is turned.

I have never signed up for a catalog in my life, but once you purchase one item on-line you get deluged with mail. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? I’m on a mission to reduce clutter. Although I have not yet signed up yet, I am looking into Catalog Choice. It’s a non-profit company (donations appreciated) that will send merchants opt-out requests on your behalf to help stop junk mail. Have a wonderful weekend xo
