Catchy, isn’t it?  The whole Do Less Be More thing sounds inviting.  Is it really possible?  There’s a secret to achieving it.

First, you decide that’s what you want.  So you choose “Less”.

Then you get to say “no” to other stuff.  No to some things magically allows you to say yes to other things.  It’s kind of like math without any numbers.  My sister actually wrote a great post about this very thing last week.

For the past 2 years my sister and I have made Pioneer Woman’s Cinnamon rolls together.  She was here at Thanksgiving and we had all of the supplies to check off year number three but we both just wanted to sit and laugh instead.  We did less, and it was better.  So in a way we didn’t meet our goal, but in reality the goal is simply sister time {ever since I was 10 we called it getting in laughing shape}.

Emily and I wrote about Doing Less and Being More over at the DaySpring Catalog. I’d love for you to click over and read it if you have a spare few minutes.  But first you can read the rest of this because if you choose to click all these links that’s a lot of doing.

In the spirit of giving DaySpring wants to provide you with beautiful, intentional objects for your home.   I used the Giving Thanks Hurricanes on my mantel and filled them with flowers week and then added lights.

A lovely way to incorporate the Nativity.  Plus, you can slip off the silhouettes and use the Nativity Hurricanes year around.  So unless you are saying “no” to entering giveaways {and I understand if you are} you are invited to join in the last Nesting Place giveaway of 2010.  DaySpring is giving away the pair of Giving Thanks Hurricanes for every 100 entries, plus, THREE $100 shopping sprees.
