I have been a fan of the simplicity movement for many years. I am with you on steering children away from materialism AND the odd reactions to such a choice. I have a family member who honestly believes that the reason our children do not have Calvin Klien underwear is because we can't afford them. It couldn't possibly be because we realize that they are just underwear .... Yes?! :) I knew that the 'other' Joneses were out there! They had to be .... I am grateful to you for taking the time to send me "the proof". Cheers! Thanks so much for your comments! I have been a fan of the simplicity movement for many years.

We have been driving two used vehicles, i steer my children away from materialism (to this day i refuse to get my child a cell phone). We live simply and because we don't have shiny new things, we often feel like an outcast amongst my friends. it's not always easy to down size but after a while you come to realize that you really don't need much 'stuff' some of the happiest people i have met live in a third world country. as long as they are safe from war and illness, they could care less if their house is made of out of straw. thanks for your post. literally my last name is Jones and I am that other kind of Jones.
