Children’s Books Recommendation – Large Family Library Haul
As minimalists, we do not like to keep a lot of items in our home. We do, however, absolutely love books. From picture books, storybooks, novels, and information books – we love them all. As a large family, if we were to buy everyone books to cover every topic that every child was interested in, we would have WAY too many books. In order to fulfil this love of books, we take advantage of our local library. These books were all greats, and definitely are children’s books we would recommend. We have 4 tiny humans who all read at different levels and enjoy different types of children’s books. Every time…

Homeschool Sports – 5 Ideas for Physical Education Classes when Homeschooling
It is a common misconception that homeschooled children miss out on extracurricular activities or the team building experience that a typical physical education class would offer. You do not have to sacrifice physical education, or gym, when you make the decision to homeschool. There are many options for homeschool sports opportunities. Physical education classes can provide such a benefit to children, far beyond exercise. These sports programs allow our children to meet other children their age, develop friendships, learn new skills, and learn how to learn from other people. Our children can develop these skills while having fun and not even realizing they are learning. Playing is the best way to…

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.

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.

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,…
