About the Shelf

 You must have this shelf in your house.

I also really like living with very few things in my home. I live in a very small older wood framed house with my wife Brittany and my two year old daughter Nahli, so we really can’t have too many things in it cluttering it up. My wife has this saying about, "buying only what you love" and that’s what we try to do, to not have too much stuff; only have around things that we really enjoy and use. 

So we keep only the clothes that we wear (and I have a terrible habit of working in all my clothes so I’m limited to a couple of outfits), only the books that we read, and only the furniture that we really love. 

I think my craft certainly influences what we buy for our daughter, or at least what we try to keep around for her to play with. There is such a lack of good toys out there. There are a few great companies out there, Plan toys and Anamalz specifically, that produce some really innovative beautiful wooden toys that she really likes and I think they have great products.
