Lately, we have been watching documentaries, reading books and thinking about minimalism as a lifestyle. Since our family for the moment consists of just the two of us, it would be the perfect phase to start a kind of experiment on minimalism.
It is not that we have tons of stuff, but we have the potential of accumulating more and more. My husband comes from a family of collectors: his uncle collects paintings and pottery, his father collects old radios and bikes, his mom musical scores... And well, we kind kind of started to collect bikes. Nevertheless, we avoid buying books if we can buy e-books to read them online, or we think ten times before buying new stuff and rather go for the used/second-hand option. Yet, we feel like we could do more.
Yesterday evening we discovered two German blogs that have been experimenting with minimalism for already a couple of years. I guess these blogs will be my free-time readings for the coming days.
