Truth for Thought

Once in awhile an old truth, said in a new way, resonates in the soul.

Tonight I was going to show you my couponing system (very cool and very helpful, if I do say so myself). But then a friend said something that has stuck in my mind ... and the couponing will have to wait. Here is what she said:

Splurge on experiences, not stuff.

And I thought, "You know? That's the whole mission of House Honcho, really." Well, actually, my thoughts are never quite that succint. Usually they're a running ticker of all kinds of things--interspersed with memories of dinner and books and shoes--but really, that is the essence.

Experience is so much more valuable than clutter. The home isn't meant to house new things we'll never use. It's meant to house a family whose main collection is comprised of experiences.

And so, I will leave you to think about that truth and consider the effects it might have on your home.
