This year I’m stepping it up. Pushing myself to the next level. Moving on up in the world. Rising to the challenge… I think you get the picture. The December Minimalist Challenge In December, Mrs.1500 and I completed the Minimalism Challenge in which we purged over 496 items in total from our house. It was awesome!

Whenever I mention any of my volunteer work, it never fails that I always get asked one question. How do you find placements or organizations to volunteer with?
