Warning : Soap Box
I want less stuff.
We are down sizing. My mom thinks I'm nuts. She told me I was too young to start getting rid of stuff. I'm not. I am just the right age.

I like this post : http://www.becomingminimalist.com/2010/04/14/why-fewer-toys-will-actually-benefit-your-kids/
I generally start thinking about a minimalist life when birthdays and Christmas start to appear on the horizon. I want my children to experience a magaical holiday season, I just want to figure out how to do it with out to much material. We still have a few toys from last Christmas in our crawl space. We put a box of toys that the kids recieved at Christmas down there and occassionaly we pull one out.......when the kids are bored (or crabby). It turns the day around. It is like Christmas all year long.
