I’ve stolen this idea from another. The Home Front Historian. She has an inspiring page over on Instagram. The reason for this list is to simply slow down and live life more simply. It’s more of a guide to being more present, living slower, having less and really taking care of what you have.
These can be added to as I go along. This is a lovely way to take accountability for not over consuming and living like we did in the past.
