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.
If you are feeling these things, stick around and read what we’ve been up to. And make sure to sign up for the Simple Saturdays email for regular encouragement, tips and insights into finding what Simple on Purpose looks like for YOU.

This small town lacked the forums and events to meet people in ‘proper’ ways. I assumed I would be […]
