Going Simple: Storage Organization and Decluttering
Week Five of The Going Simple Challenge, we discuss storage organization and decluttering for the remaining spaces in your home, and how they can serve you best. Are the things we store in the remaining areas of our home necessary? Once we start decluttering and reassessing the storage organization in our home, we uncover what we truly wanted our home to feel like all along. Find Your Why before you start decluttering your storage spots! The first thing you need to do is define what you want from each space. The coming days are yours to reshape and rediscover your home. This week you get to use these decision muscles…
Stop Fighting Blank Space, Start Living Life
Hey friends! Today I just wanted to talk about a little something that’s been on my mind lately. With the busyness and bustle that comes with the new year, we all can feel pressured to jump into the next big thing. But this year I am feeling such strong urge to focus not on what I can fill my life up with. But instead what I can make space for. A lot of us feel the pull to clear our spaces. And rightfully so! A cleared space free of clutter is scientifically proven to calm our mind. But what if we cleared those spaces, and then, we rest. What if…
GOING SIMPLE :: How did we get into this mess?
Starting Monday I’ll be leading a group of women to life with less. I. Am. So. Excited. To join the private Facebook Group + Going Simple Challenge, click here! But before, or even as we get started, we need to recognize how we got here in the first place. Part of simplifying is recognizing our mistakes so we don’t repeat them, and fill our homes and lives back up with all the STUFF we are trying to get rid of. Why I Went SIMPLE. My simplifying started because we were moving out of our first home. A home we lived in for over seven years. You can surprisingly accumulate a…
GOING SIMPLE :: Getting Started :: Building a Community
Laying in bed last night, I felt the strongest conviction. All these emotions came up. About where I started as a mom, and a wife. As a woman. And where I am now. So much work to do still. But I feel like I’m finally settling in to my jeans. You know? Like a really nice pair of jeans. Where they fit great, they’re breaking in in all the right places. And your confidence starts to get downright dangerous. If you’re an office fan, think Michael Scott in his jeans. Girl, that’s how I’m feeling about LIFE right now. And it’s not that I came here to toot my own…
PARENTING :: 10 Tips to Limit Screen Time
Before I get into limiting screen time, I just want to preface. I get it. We all get it. Screen time is convenient. It’s an easy resource to reach for when parenting. And at times, it could potentially be a valuable learning tool. And I am in no way passing any judgement on those who use screen time (we aren’t completely screen free after all)! It’s such a hot button topic, that I’ve avoided this post for a long time. But it’s been requested. And requested some more. So I’m finally going there. We were avid users. Tablet time almost every day. Cartoons as soon as we woke up, buying…
