Charley,
It’s good to hear that things are settling down a bit with your babies. You make excellent observations about setting priorities (such as taking care of yourself) but scaling back to keep things mangeable.And of course the babies are growing stronger every day. By this time next year (or sooner), your whole family will be eating dinner at the same table at the same time.

I admit to having minimalist leanings. I still would like to try the 100 Items experiment, but I have no desire to impose that will on my children or spouse…well, sometimes the spouse; she likes to save everything.

So, perhaps that’s where my balance lies. I can be a minimalist but still peaceably coexist with the rest of the world.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to write this guest post for your readers.

Hi Jeffrey, nice to see you here again
Charley wrote a wonderful guest post and I can’t agree more with everything he said.
I’ve been thinking myself about the perfect balance between minimalism and materialism. We do need a lot in life but at the same time there is only so much we can use.

It’s interesting to see how goals change as we progress through life. Some things that were so important to us a few months ago now barely register on the radar.

I like what you said in “Less is generally more.” Cutting down on excess materialism is good; sliding too far the other way … not so good. We need to learn to grasp ideas in their entirety – which usually means learning how to balance them with their opposites.
