I'm in line with this philosophy of less is more, sis.
I have been trying to lighten up my mother's house for the last few months. And I shudder every time I go there to declutter, it is not only what it is in her closet but in the whole house.
Anyway, I am one of those who go more for having experiences than for owning things.
That is so good sis, that your mother allows you to declutter her house. It will take a while but you will get there hehe.
I'm also for creating memories more than collecting things.
