  • 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”…

  • 5 Tips for Less Mealtime Drama

    February 8, 2019 /

    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…

Do you try before you buy?! The amount of money Do you try before you buy?! 
The amount of money we save by shopping our home before heading out to buy something we ‘need’ … I wish I had kept a running total all these years! Received this cute little buddy as a gift, but had no small planters on hand. Welp… that’s nothing a little creative thinking, a quick shop your home moment, a few coffee mugs and some bristle blocks can’t fix! Just don’t tell my kids about the blocks part. 😂😂 
What’s one think you’ve shopped your home for recently?

Today I bought a $5 shelf. The novelty of this imp Today I bought a $5 shelf. The novelty of this impulse buy was not lost on me. And I really started to deconstruct why such a simple, small purchase felt so meaningful to me? 
It’s because every day we say no. We say no to $5-10 impulse purchases. We say no to buying the first thing that checks the box when a new project or idea itch strikes us. 
In learning to say no, we have grown more confident in our ability to say YES when we come across a small purchase like today’s shelf. Because we know it is exactly what we need. We won’t have to hassle with returns and processed refunds. We won’t have to manage excess clutter from wrong choices and wasted funds. 
And I get it, it may seem small, a $5 shelf for our daughter’s bedroom. But it’s so much more than that. Especially when little eyes are watching our spending habits. 👀 💕
What am I missing? Is there anything you’ve learned from reducing small daily impulse buys?
