It's the beginning of the year and you know what that means ... most everyone is setting goals. 

This year I am going to work hard to simplify a lot of aspects of my life so that my family and I can enjoy more of our time together. Our oldest is graduating from high school this year and it's making me really think about how quickly life goes by. 

If you are looking to to simplify your home a little bit (like I am), I have put together a list of 40 things you can get rid of easily to make a big difference. I have a free printable checklist for you too! Scroll to the end of the post to grab that. 

I know I may be a little late on the bandwagon on this one, but it took a LONG time to convince my husband that we should shiplap anything. If it were solely up to me, I would shiplap all the walls! BUT, in order to try and convince my husband that we want to shiplap a few more of our walls, I tackled one of the smallest walls in our little home.
