Minimalism With Children – The Importance Of Habits
When striving for minimalism with children, developing habits that will help you reach your goals is important. Minimalism with children is possible. Minimalism can mean many different things depending on who you talk to. As someone inspiring for minimalism with children, I struggle to find the balance between life and material things every day. Finding this balance can be difficult. The importance of habits when striving for minimalism is so important – whether you are an individual or a parent. It is one thing to purge and declutter, but you need to change your habits to prevent going back to where you were. You also need to help your children…

Whole Body Barefoot – Book Review
I belonged to a pregnancy forum many moons ago. One day, we were chatting about squatting as a way to prepare and help for birth. One of the moms shared an article called You Don’t Know Squat. I read the article and was instantly hooked on the information. As with all information I am excited about, I shared it. I shared it with my mom, my chiropractor, other mothers to be and am now sharing it with you. Reading it over again and implemented what the author had to say. It was not an article about pregnancy, but it was so incredibly helpful. I loved the author’s style of writing,…

Minimalist Wardrobe – Clothes Do Not Make Me
I love my minimalist wardrobe. I love how easy it is to get ready in the morning. There are no major decisions about the clothes I wear. Almost everything goes together, I just have to grab and go. Life is simple. It is easy. I have never been someone who understands fashion. The clothing I wear is comfortable and works for my body. I have never understood the latest fashion trends or how to put together the perfect outfit. For years I kept collecting clothes, thinking that one day I would be able to put together an outfit with some kind of style. But as I have gotten older,…

This Is My Hobby: Playing With Paint
I wrote this post on our blog about painting and my love of paint over on Steemit. Not everyone uses that platform and I felt inspired to share it over here as well. This article was written as an entrance into a contest about hobbies. I hope you enjoy it. ——————————————— I discovered the This Is My Hobby contest hosted by @anomadsoul and I felt inspired to join in. As a creative person, I have so many hobbies and interest, so this is actually a challenge. I decided to take this on not for the prize, though that would be nice, but for the change to explore my thoughts deeper while writing. What is…

Treehugger Cloth Pads: A Zero Waste Product Review
Fluffy pillows for your vagina. That is how a customer explained Treehugger Cloth Pads, and it could not be a truer statement. Treehugger Cloth Pads is a Canadian company owned Crystal Burton. I first discovered Treehugger Cloth Pads 5 years ago, while working in a cloth diaper store, and have been hooked ever since. Treehugger Cloth Pads makes reusable menstrual and incontinence products. The pads come in 4 different absorbency sizes: pantyliners, light flow, heavy flow, and overnight or postpartum. The pads are topped with either minky, bamboo, or cotton and are backed with fleece. All of my Treehugger pads are ones topped with minky. Minky is a super soft…

Remembering Your Why
Remembering your why, your reason for doing what you are doing, is so important in life. So often we forget why we began doing what we are doing, or forget why we are aiming for the goals we seek. So often in life, we also strive for outcomes without even thinking about why we want that thing. Do you want financial success? Do you want freedom? Do you want notoriety, fame, stardom? Perhaps you are doing something because you have a message to spread or information you want available to a wider audience. Perhaps you want control. Recently, I teamed up with a few different Moms and did a collaboration…

No-Spend Challenge: 1st Month Plan and a Book Review
“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” – Chinese proverb This quote sums up my feelings for where I am in life at the moment. There are so many things I wish I had done years ago, but instead of putting them off any longer, I am doing them. Today. This applies to so many more things than just finances and money, but for the sake of this book review, we will focus on the No-Spend Challenge. I had been considering doing another No-Spend challenge. I did one last January after feeling so overwhelmed with Christmas. In some ways it…
