How to live like a minimalist family: Tips to make it work for you!


Hey Reader,

By now you know that my family and I value #experiencesnotstuff but it wasn't always this way.

Over the years we decluttered and removed a lot of stuff from our home. We reduced how much we own by 75% and became a minimalist family when my son was young.

My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner. We've been living this lifestyle for almost 20 years and I'm never going back.

In my article, 6 Habits to Live Like a Minimalist Family, you can learn more about us and the minimalist practices you can start using today.

I'm 100% certain you can use every tip today in your home. Read all of them here.

Which one was your favorite?

Until next time,

Amy

Hey Reader, Thank you for all the advice! So many of you shared your thoughts about the dance of kids coming home, leaving again, and all the little ground rules we need in between. Here’s my favorite one: “If you’re staying here, please let us know what time you’ll be back. Not a control thing, but we have a life too—and we want to know if the person coming in at midnight is you or an intruder.” ---Alicia Yes! 🙌 We have a life too. (If you’re new here, my son Zack just wrapped up his first...

Hey Reader, Did you guess? It’s Zack. One year ago, celebrating his high school graduation ❤️ If you’re new around here, my son Zack just wrapped up his first year of college. One whole year—gone in a blink! And today... we’re picking him up. 😱 I. Cannot. Wait. Tonight, he’ll sleep in his own bed, safe and sound. My heart is full.
