I love you and thank you...BUT

please do not gift anymore clothes, toys, trinkets, etc to my children for some time. They have enough. As I go through their toy room, closets, and other spaces I have come to one conclusion; There is too much stuff!! *You* are not the only ones guilty...I am too. My children DON'T need 6 hoodies to choose from. They don't need 25+ shirts to choose from. Too many toys does not engage them more, it actually distracts them more.

Please understand that I appreciate the generosity and am grateful for the thoughtfulness...but please let's take a break.

If I must, it may required that you take an item home for every item you bring/gift/donate to my kids.

New Years Resolution #1: Appreciate MORE and accumulate LESS.

PS. I realize this post comes right after Christmas when everything feels double but this has been building since long before.

Oh no - what are we to do. It is so much fun shopping for all the little ones we love. But if that is your wish I guess we will have to respect it. If you have things you don't need bring them to the City for all the needy children. Great Auntie B.
