Minimalism changed my life and it can change yours! I was an emotional hoarder with nothing but the clutter from lost loved ones -- and $25,000 of debt -- to my name. Now, I have a beautiful home in Europe, a happy family, live debt-free, and - best of all - wake up to a life that I'm EXCITED to live every day.
Minimalism is so much more than an empty white space - it's about creating a happier space for your family. A space that's full of the most important thing: LOVE! That's what being a minimalist mom means to me!
Now my mission is to help real families just like us conquer their clutter and simplify their way to a happier and better life. I would LOVE IT if you would subscribe to my channel so I can help you, too!

Why Minimalism is Harder for MOST Americans
Meal plan please ❤
I wonder how long does it take to create that mess just for filming this video :-).
meal plan
Meal Plan would be helpful.
I made a switch to dresses because I figure I can wear them with sandals, with closed flats, w leggings, with boots and layer under them or on top and literally go from winter to summer and not worry about ever having to wear pants or gain / loose a couple pounds or be dressed down. If I like to dress up all I do is wear heels with my dresses.
İ watched this video after you moved back in ABD and it breaks my heard to think you are not living in that house anymore. I hope you find a even better house to make it your home❤
you taught me alongside other RUclips declutter inspiring ladies who are on this journey. “The power of being gentle to ourselves and not harsh.” I have some wonderful friendships with people in real life who I found to be warm,generous and sentimental… A part of their personality is clutter and I am in no judgement on that, it has never got in the way of the friendships. I come from a place of understanding. I don’t want to be judged and I don’t want to judge others. I’m very grateful for people who are brave enough to stand up & share with the world some parts of their personal lives that are an honest expression of real life, Sharing an example of how a journey personally has migrated from experiencing tough things life throws at us… and how it is possible to evolve and grow through different life events. The supportive kind valuable knowledge shared on your channel and several others I follow. set an example and I’ve learnt so much and feel so much better. Through my own journey, I have been decluttering for the last three years, which I have gratitude to you and other Declutter ladies on RUclips for inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing. I’ve done my decluttering at home, truly through following you and a handful of kind people on RUclips. It’s changed my life honestly💞
one easy way to budged is to figure out how much money you need/can affored in a week/month and than put that amount in cash in your purse and really not spend any more. so to start do it for a week so if you go over you only have a day or two without money.
Very helpful advice. There is just one thing I struggle with about the one touch rule, I often don't know what to do with things. Do I need to store documents or can I throw them away, so I just put them down again after trying to give it more thought. Is there anything I could do to avoid this not knowing what to do with it?
Really enjoyed this video, nicely done! Like others here I'd be interested in meal planning tips.
I’m wondering if you (or anyone reading this ) can help me with a particular challenge that I have regarding getting up early. I readily see the benefits of it and right now in my life I need it more than ever. However, I am a registered nurse and I work the 3 PM to 11 PM shift. Even if I get out on time, which I usually don’t, I’m not even getting home until 11:30 PM and I find it difficult to go immediately to sleep so it is typical for me to not even go to sleep until two or 3 AM. And worse, Because it’s so late at night and the rest of the world is already sleeping. I tend to just find it very easy to slump on the couch and binge watch RUclips videos and I often end up falling asleep on the couch and waking up on the couch, which is another very bad habit. I guess my question is number one. Does anyone who might work shifts have any advice on what helps you get to sleep earlier? And also do you think that the miracle morning routine is still effective even if you can’t get up anywhere close to 5 AM. Like if I can’t fall asleep until 3 AM, I would have to sleep until 11 AM just to get eight hours which I definitely am someone who needs eight hours. Right now and in this time of my life, it would be difficult for me to change jobs so I’m hoping to find some tips and adapt the routine to my own schedule because I am in a wicked bad slump and I really need to get back on track and feeling better about myself. Thank you again for your video and anyone’s feedback would be welcome.❤
I have two big bags of stuff to donate, but I'm overwhelmed by the clutter. I've rearranged my bedroom more than six times this week alone, but I can't find any comfort. I'm tired of cleaning and just want to give up and get rid of everything.
I love your glass cup 😍
The total money makeover book and Dave Ramsey’s baby steps helped me to be debt free. It’s a hard journey but, it’s worth the effort. 😊
Amazing!! Thank you ❤
Shoe recycling!! I love that. I need to find that here in Oregon.
I thought I was the only strange one to keep empty boxes, because I might need them one day 😵💫
It's enticing to consider purchasing some stocks in this bull run. I'm contemplating investing more than $300k for retirement. While the bull run can generate short-term excitement, i also need long-term investment strategy
It seems like there's potential, but caution is warranted. hence I will advice you get yourself a financial advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points
Having an investment advisor is the best way to go about the stock market right now. I used to depend on RUclips videos but it wasn't working. I’ve been in touch with an advisor for a while now, and just last year, I made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.
I've been looking to get one, but have been kind of relaxed about it. Could you recommend your advis0r? I'll be happy to use some help.
Sharon Lee Peoples is the licensed advisor I use. Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
I looked her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon. Thank you
Meal plan please. 😊 Especially any Asian recipes!!
Trailer trash! Is a compliment for me ❤
❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
I followed the poop rule with my kids, and I'm glad I did. They were definitely worth keeping. 😄
I put away a few air-dried cardigans while listening and felt such a beautiful contentment as I hung the hangers with even, roomy spacing between my other items...ahh! Your peaceful spaces and tidying wisdom consistently inspire me to simplify down to that "clutter threshold" and beyond ☺️
I do not recommend hanging bags on doors The hinges can give way and wear out due to constant loading
If it's a sturdy-hinged door and the bags aren't too weighty, it usually isn't an issue, but yeah, I've definitely seen my share of questionable doors that probably could not support anything beyond the hook itself! 😅
I've been decluttering my garage and found that in my city there is no garbage collection service for hazardous household waste like anti-freeze, paint, batteries, fertilizer, insecticide, etc. I found out that my area has a Hazardous Household Waste Collection Day for the entire county, but it's only from 8 am to 2 pm one day a year. I had to take time off work to go there, but it was really easy, although the line of cars was long so it was about 30 mins of wait time. Just an FYI if anyone else has a similar issue going on. It was SO worth it! Finally that junk is cleared out of my garage and my conscience is clear 😄
This is goooold 🙌🏼
Oh my gosh, Carmen! It’s been forever - hope you are well and thanks for watching. 🤗
I eat natural peanut butter (Smuckers - only ingredients are peanuts and salt). It is kind of in between smooth and chunky. It is courser than the smooth but not chunky. 😂
❤
Can’t wait to hear why your getting rid of 90% of your stuff! I’m hoping you all found a house and not just having to move again
even i waked early ,i will sleep again😂
I agree with not giving children smartphones before they're 16. Their brain is actually not ready for it, so families should step up and make this decision.
Plastic plants look so tacky
Mealplan, yes PLEASE!
Once or twice a YEAR for a haircut?? My hair is overgrown by the 6th week! By the 2 or 3 month mark I'd look homeless.
Team creamy, especially natural creamy:) Love PB!!
Free furniture is the only type i have lol
I hear you girl, I started decluttering but it's a slow process. And one thing about reducing clutter is to stop buying stuff. And not only that, also stop allowing people to give me stuff that they don't want and basically forcing their unwanted stash on me. I had to learn to say No Thank You. 2024 is a major Project Declutter year for me. There are only 3 people living in the apartment and it's ridiculous to have so much stuff. So thank you for your videos. It's ZEN.
People want homesteads because they don't like.or trust the food industry. Like having gross things in packaged food and Tyson chicken adding insect protein to their foods.. They're preppers, which can't work with minimalism. I actually like being prepared. Plus I agree about the smartphones. I think they really affect their attention span and affect their learming and family time!
Your house looks very peaceful. Experts had side Minimalist attend to live less stressful life compare to people who live in clutter
Finally a person who understands -----Don't organize your junk - clear it, then figure out the best method to store it. Most go and buy hundreds of bins and baskets and don't clear first so they are continually organizing junk!
Meal plan.
It upsets me to hear that people are so mean to you. You are such a beautiful lady. And you seem like you're very caring and nurturing with your family. I'm not a minimalist....yet. but I watch your channel because it is something I would like to be someday. The information you provide is helping me appreciate living with less stuff. When you cry in your videos, I feel your pain. Please know that there are folks out here who are cheering you on! Keep smiling and keep going! If I ever get to meet you in person, don't think I'm weird, but I'd like to give you a big hug!
If I could just get my husband on board :(
I prob have the most issues with its useful and I have room for it and I can afford it (or Aka “but it’s so cheap). Sometimes it’s Justin Case but not always. The rest I think I have busted through for the most part. The most obvious thing I’m keeping is now stackable, empty bins. BUT since I’m soon planning to move, I’ll at least keep them until the move is over (unless I find them unnecessary during the move).
I was thinking, if you have to go by the coat closet to go upstairs, perhaps try keeping the door open when people are out of the house. They can't get to the stairs when the door is open and the closet is ready to take their coats and boots.
How do you get your spouse to align to goals of budgeting and financial freedom? She refuses to even attempt it and she goes into deep credit card debt quickly. I keep having to bail her out and it’s maddening.
How can you leave us on such a big cliff hanger??!!! 🤣🤣😭
Things I love about your videos: 1. You are REAL about your home and clutter. 2. You give tips for us mommas out there to help get our kids involved and learning while continuing to remain minimalist. 3. Your organization is on POINT 👏. Simple yet beautiful and completely functional. THIS is what I need in my life! Thank you! 🙏💕
Thank you so much for your kind words and support, I really appreciate this kind of comment and feedback 🙌
I have a coat closet, but it’s used mainly for off season outerwear. I installed command hooks just inside my garage door (main entrance) and they get used. Nothing ends up on the floor or the bench now.
11:47 ADHD intermission 😂
