WELCOME
Four years ago I was home with three small kids. I was feeling overwhelmed, restless, and exhausted. I stumbled across minimalism and started decluttering my home. As I went through the decluttering process I started asking myself questions about these things I let into my home and life.
I realized I had been on autopilot in so many areas of my life.
It started my drive to live life with more passion and purpose.
I don’t want my kids to grow up with me left wondering what happened to the years.

Quotes for Minimalist Motivation
I wish that once you declutter your house is permanently organized and tidy. Unfortunately, there is always stuff coming back into the house and you need to declutter repeatedly. I’m not the kind of lady who has her life together enough to follow some kind of decluttering calendar to make sure I keep on it. […]

Umm…I Thought You Were Running a 5km?
This post was supposed to be sopped full of victorious pictures and drenching with exclamation marks framing ‘I DID IT!’ sentiments! I would remind you that a dear friend asked me to run this race with her, I had to say yes. I would tell you how this pasty girl (me), with subzero athletic ability, […]
Life On The Ball – Still Pregnant!
So here I am living on the ‘ball’ trying to encourage some baby birthing action. I’ll be 38 weeks on Monday and go to get my cervix stretched. The OBGYN said that it induces labour in 1 out of 7 preggos. Being dilated ahead of time helps those odds. So guess I better just relax […]
How to Define Simple Living for Your Family
Simple doesn’t mean ‘less of everything’. It means less of the distractions. Less of the excess. Less of what doesn’t truly matter to you (but for a host of reasons, you let it into your home and your life). Choosing simple is picking the best and leaving the rest. But there is always a choice […]
