There are certain Bible verses that are typically gone over and over on Christian minimalist blogs. One such passage is Matthew 6:19-21, where Jesus points out that we should not store up treasures on earth. Rather, we should store up treasures in heaven - in other words, we should fill up spiritually. Don’t store [...]
A few months ago, I added to my daily life by taking on a part-time job. During the main part of the day, I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom. However, in the evenings, I take on the role of fitness coach at a local gym for women. I really enjoy spending a few hours every [...]
As you know from a previous post, my word for the year is expectation. This year I am reading through the Bible with the expectation that God is going to show up, show me things, and work in my life. I'm reading with the expectation of change from the inside out. If you are wondering [...]
Over the past few years, I've deleted Facebook and Twitter many times. I get frustrated, annoyed, and just fed up by all the negativity so I delete it and move on. I've also taken short breaks from scrolling through Instagram and breaks from watching videos on YouTube. Recently, however, I have rejoined the world of [...]

My family has lived in our current house for just about a year and a half now. During that short time, I have been amazed at the amount of clutter that resurfaced. One thing I have learned in my minimalism journey is that purging the excess needs to be an ongoing process. The minute you [...]
Over the years, I've tried to be a lot of different types of mom. I've tried to be what the world around me seems to fancy so much: the crafty mom, the baking mom, the activities mom. I've tried to please everyone else with little regard for myself. But this year, I decided to give [...]
In the last few posts, I gave you the backstory on how I came to be a minimalist. I also explained that my husband is not a minimalist. Rather, he is someone who uses minimalism during different seasons of life to benefit him as necessary. And that is ok. We don't both have to be [...]
In December of 2016, my husband and I decided to relocate our family. We put our home up for sale the day after Christmas, and two days later it sold. Escrow was set to be very short. We were to be moved out by January 20, 2017. Because of the enthusiasm my husband showed in [...]
