A significant part of making life easier with children is having fewer things—for your children and for yourself. It seems many women have an abundance of handbags—most of which are rarely or never used. It sounds a little extreme I admit, but I’ve thought of limiting my collection to just three: one clutch, one cross-body bag and one tote. Can you imagine??

If we only purchased a new bag every few years, it would be much easier to justify an indulgence. Quality, not quantity! (I actually have seven handbags total … still working on whittling that down.). Here’s one idea for moving in this direction: pick your favorite bag in each category, pack away the rest and see if you miss them in six weeks. If not, I think you know what to do!
