  • The Practical Cloffice: How to Achieve A Functional Workspace

    December 9, 2020 /

    Welcome to 2020. When home, work, school and play are required to coexist within the walls of our home. This is basically a Simplicity Coach‘s dream come true. Needing to reduce clutter visually and in storage components. Create functional organization. Blend multiple purposes into one room or space. AND make it look nice! Challenge Accepted! Closets are one of my fave spaces to tackle. Who says a closet needs to be cluttered? Stuffed to the brim? Unorganized? Boring? No matter the closet location, we always focus on a few main goals. Create a happy space where eye level hits. Cleared floors and top shelves whenever possible. Cohesive organization, implemented in…

  • PARENTING :: Independent Play

    July 24, 2019 /

    If you’re beginning your journey into less is more with the screen time, you may be left wondering, “okay, but now what?” For a while I followed resources like popular toddler activity Instagram and Pinterest accounts. All of which is great. But all that prep and planning lead me to mass burnout in about 3 days. This mama isn’t meant for organized childhood. Not my vibe. Realizing there’s nothing wrong with (and, actually, a lot of developmental positives for) a lazier style of parenting was like finally receiving a permission slip to be the mom I knew how to be. And it was SO freeing! But that phrase “independent play”…

    And More Clean Plate Club I feel like it’s safe to assume you’re probably a member of the Chicken Nuggets Club (I’m an honorary member myself). And THAT’S OKAY. At the end of the day, you are feeding your kid, so you are doing your job! I know for our family, I just felt like I could do better as a parent, or at least, try a bit harder. So I tried a lot of things. A lot. We have come a LONG way with mealtimes, and I’m so excited to share with you what works. 1. Let them decide. Nope. That wasn’t a typo. All our kids want is…

  • 10 Gifts For The Minimalist, The Person Who Has Everything, Or The Person Who Hates Everything

    October 23, 2018 /

    So you’ve found yourself here because of one too many gift giving incidents have gone bad. Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure we’ve all been there. If you were at my wedding, and you heard my brothers’ speeches, you know that I am the queen of a sour poker face when it comes to receiving gifts. I consider it as a compliment. It means I’m a horrible liar. 😉 Maybe you’re here because you have someone who simply already has All. The. Things. And finding a gift that’s new and will be loved is an impossible task. Ooooor, maybe you’re here because a loved one is a new found minimalist. So…
