Little Minimalist on the Prairies
The abundant life with less
Now that we're fully into the holiday season, there are so many things to do. BUT, I think that you should add decluttering to the top of that list! Why? Taking some time to declutter your space preps your home and your mindset for the upcoming influx of physical items and the full schedule that's [...]
After we went through our storage space to declutter it and get things ready to be moved into our new house, I wished I hadn't stored so many things!

Here’s my process from start to finish that I use to plan kids' parties: Decide On The Basics The first 3 things to consider? Theme [...]
This summer I've been finding SO much joy in less. Don't get me wrong—I'm the "type of minimalist" who is all for not adhering to specific numbers of items and would encourage you to have greater amounts of books or other items if those are the things that fill your life with abundance and joy.
