Minimalism and Kids Under the Same Roof

How does that work?

minimalism for familiesAny family can live a minimalist lifestyle. It works because it’s practical. The aim of minimalism is a simpler life filled with lasting pleasures. This is a healthy desire, and pursuing it can lead to many benefits for you and your family, such as:

  • Less stress and anxiety
  • More joy in parenting
  • A deeper connection to yourself and others
  • Healthy boundaries
  • More time
  • Less financial burdens

Minimalism for Families will show you that there’s more life when you own less.

Just kidding, today feels more like tripping over dirty laundry. 
Also, this is the ONLY tidy space in my house right now 😂. 
It’s ok, we live here.

Seriously though, my two littles are enjoying the extra floor space to play in their room 🙌🏽. 
I’ll be sure to remember how much they’re enjoying the extra floor space next time I climb 🧗‍♂️ up the ladder to battle the mattress with a clean sheet. 🤪

Have you ever bought something that you only kinda Have you ever bought something that you only kinda-sorta liked?

I have. 

In my experience that kinda-sorta-like doesn’t often turn into loving the item. 

When you’re unsure about a new purchase leave the tags on it for a few days or longer. If your sentiment and use for the item hasn’t grown return it!

But the truth is what we turn to when we’re stressed and overwhelmed affects our emotional wellness. It isn’t  just about Not Scrolling, it’s about not missing out on that positive thing you could be doing instead.

Two steps forward. One step back. Despite my 8is Two steps forward. One step back. 

Despite my 8ish year streak not using disposable single use items (#zerowaste), I bought disposable plates and bowls last week....

And I’m cool with it. 

Because. Covid 🦠 

Three of our 7 kids got Covid. This meant they were quarantined in their rooms and we had to bring them their meals. To reduce our risk with their dirty dishes back and forth I bought disposable plates they could put in a trash bag themselves. 
 
Sometimes taking a step backwards (purchasing disposable plates when you’re zero waste) is actually taking a step forward in caring for your family and yourself. ❤️
