You must be thrilled to try something new while your husband fulfills a dream! Forced minimalism can be good for a spell since you can figure out what you truly need around for your optimal happiness.

Thanks TJ! Unfortunately the league only travels within Alberta, but it’s cool none the less!

Congrats on the exciting life change. We’ll you guys get any opportunities to explore other parts of Canada on the university’s dime traveling with the college team?

Thank you! Oh, for sure. I’m still planning to rid myself of old clothing I no longer wear over the next few months.

I am so excited for you!

In 2005, my husband and I sold everything we owned in Canada (business, home, cottage, car, motorcycle, stuff) and loaded what was left, including the cat and drove south. We stopped in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico where we stayed for three years. In 2008, we came back to Canada but have still been wintering in Mexico (for 4 months each year).

We are currently doing it (almost) all over again. We hope to list our house in Canada “soon” and will load all our belongings into a 40′ shipping container (which we have already purchased and is on our property). We will rent a family house in Canada for 6 months a year (where the container will be) and spend the other 6 months in Mexico.

I love getting rid of stuff, my husband not so much and our kids are in the middle. I think it’s important to remember what’s important to you in life and for us, it’s experiences and family more than stuff.

I look forward to following along on your adventures.

Besos Sarah.

I’m glad to hear your hubby’s dream is coming true! It does feel good to purge before a move. In fact, I find myself purging even more *after* each move, too.

Side note – my mom just gave me the book “the life-changing magic of tidying up” and I am about to clear out a bunch of stuff as well!!!
