Seriously. We have stuff everywhere. On the counters, on the floor, in every room closet....everywhere I look. Everywhere I walk. All I see is stuff. Where did it all come from? And why do we have it? I am struggling to answer this question. Especially after watching this video:

I feel guilty about the lessons of consumerism I am teaching Kynton and Keagan both. I've heard that the most important time frame to teach them about objects, over consumption, waste and so forth is from birth to seven years old. Phew. That means I still have some time.
I try to eliminate the stuff we don't need, but it seems to keep slipping in through the cracks. And it certainly didn't help having the holidays and both boys' birthdays all jammed into one week.
As I pick up all the stuff cluttered around me, I feel like I'm shoveling snow in the midst of a torrential snowstorm.
Ironically, all the clutter doesn't even seem to phase Kendel, Kynton nor Keagan. Interesting.
