I’ve been working hard on not making a dent this morning!

Why are cookbooks so hard to let go?
For me, cookbooks are one of those things that are really hard to let go of. I love cooking but I don’t do it very often and how many cookbooks are too many? I just don’t use them that much. The benches that go with our table open up and have a small storage area for cookbooks. It’s only a couple inches deep but I’ve decided that I can only keep the cookbooks that fit in there. I do have another small stash in the living room but those are the ones that I want to look through in the next few weeks.
I’m excited to add these 87 things to my grand total. That’s 1,345 things that I never have to bend down and pick up again!! Woohoo!
Goodness – you can’t have much left by now! That’s a LOT of stuff you have cleared now. Apologies for not keeping up – am busy with elderly parents so my own life is smash and grab at the moment! Will be here when I can.
It’s okay, I’ve been busy too and haven’t been here much the last few weeks. And there’s still a TON left!!! I’m nowhere near done yet 🙂
you are such an inspiration! and those comments of yours in parentheses are just hilarious – putting a large smile on my face each time 🙂
Thanks!! It helps to find a little humor in this big mess 🙂
