I love a good purge. I just spent a few days going through and helping my mom de clutter in preparation of moving out the house she has lived in for over 50 years. When there is alot of stuff and a lot of memories, I find it best to do it in stages over time so not to overwhelm anyone.

Cleaning out a loved one’s home is so hard! We cleared out my mom’s home after her passing a few years ago and I agree it’s such a process.

Just for a little history on Jennifer’s grandmother. We as a family moved a lot when I was growing up so we were always a very low “stuff” family. When my parents finally decided to stay in one place (which interestingly coincided with me moving out 😂) my mom caught the holiday decoration bug in spades.

We don't do much in the way of holiday decor on our boat but our well-crafted Mexican Xmas decorations have survived 30+ years. And they store flat!

That is SO neat that you’ve figured out how to decorate the boat!
