In preparation for our new book that will be released March 1, last week I asked you to share catchy phrases you use to support the concept of living with less. Between Facebook and here on the blog, we had a great discussion going.
I’m really inspired by all of these wonderful phrases you shared!
- “If the house was burning down
- Live like no one else
- I’m not supporting Martha Stewart any longer!
- Use it up
Wear it out
Make it do
Do without
- Don’t try to keep up with the Joneses—they’re broke too.
- How many hours do I or my husband have to be away from our family to pay for this?
- Is this a need or a want?
- Live simply so others can simply live.
- KISS– Keep is simple silly
- Back to the basics
- Less is better- you don’t have to pay for it later!
- Just say NO to yourself.
- When you can’t sew or mend
- Buy used and save the difference!
- Buy one
Do you have any more to add to this list?
The one I have been saying for the last couple of years is a simplified version of your book title. It is simply,"Less is More".I have found over the years that the more stuff we have the more time consuming it is to take care of it and it just takes away from the enjoyment of life.
I like it, Laura! Thank you for sharing!
when in doubt, get it out
why keep stuff around you don't use, don't need, and someone else could be using. Less clutter for a tired mommy to clean up.
"When in doubt…do without!" This helps me when I start to buy something, but get that little gut feeling that maybe I don't really need it.
