Day 12 – Summer 2018 Mins Game
Oh my, the junk we accrue over time. At this point I feel like I could be purging for years to come. Every day, I go through a cupboard or a drawer and find a few more items taking up valuable space, preventing me from finding what I actually do use and need. Today’s purge …
