The last time that my mother showed up to visit, she made a comment on how cluttered our house was.  Even though our home is small, I was a little insulted by her comments as we have been making due with what we have.

So before she was going to come and see us this time, we decided that we would rent a self storage unit and hide everything from her.  It really wouldn’t take too long to move everything if we did rent a self storage, so we decided that we were going to do it.

We did a search online to see where we could rent storage units in town.  There were a number of places, but we made sure to shop around to get a good price.

It only took about a day to get most of the clutter out of the house - I hope my mother appreciates what we did for her (though we really won’t tell her).
