EP128: Navigating Screen-Time Overload [+ My Go-To Ways to Avoid Screens] with Autumn McKay

Order Your Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living & Parenting with Simplicity----------------Today I’ll be discussing frugal living hacks with co-host of the Frugal Friends Podcast, Jen Smith. While you don’t have to be a minimalist to be frugal or vice versa, I’d argue that frugality and minimalism are like cousins and oftentimes influence one another. Today's conversation focuses on simple methods for earning extra income, building up savings and a few tips on simple investments.Show Notes for EP168: Simple Frugality MethodsEnjoy this Podcast?Learning how you can get rid of clutter and live an intentional and purposeful life has never been this simple.

While there may be some benefit to organizing without your children, the negative of tackling this task solo is that your child misses out on the growth experience. There is a feeling of reward associated with accomplishment and, it’s my belief that our children should partake in some of that with us. Handling the decluttering for them isn’t necessarily doing them a favor, on the flip side, it may actually do a disservice to you both. By involving your children in the organizing process, you’re enabling them to be more mindful of the items they own. Show Notes for EP166: Involving Kids in the Organizing ProcessEnjoy this Podcast?Learning how you can get rid of clutter and live an intentional and purposeful life has never been this simple.

Order Your Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living & Parenting with Simplicity-----------------------------Join me today for a special bonus episode on a simpler approach to body image. I spoke with exercise physiologist and health coach, Elizabeth Dall about how we can be more intentional when it comes to this area.

It can be a challenge to know where to start! I appreciate home libraries, however, I think it's important to intentionally cultivate our collections. Join me today as we tackle book decluttering with Rebeca Pere. We discuss: the actual process, questions we should ask ourselves as we declutter this area, how to detach from sentimentality around books, decluttering as a homeschool mom and more. At the conclusion of our chat, I’ll take you through more practical step by step tips on how to quickly declutter for the first time. Show Notes for EP165: Practical Tips for Decluttering BooksEnjoy this Podcast?Learning how you can get rid of clutter and live an intentional and purposeful life has never been this simple.

Order Your Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living & Parenting with Simplicity--------------------------One of the most stressful things about the morning routine can be getting your children dressed. Whether there are too many clothes or your child has lots of opinions, it can be tough! But it doesn't have to be! I spoke with minimalist, Rachelle Crawford about how to minimize your child's wardrobe. Getting ready in the morning will get easier and more streamlined, as you won't have to wade through worn out, too small or stained clothing for them to find something to wear. It may seem like an exhausting process but the end result will be of huge benefit. What a sense of relief you'll feel when this area is finally tackled!Show Notes for EP164: Minimizing Your Child's WardrobeEnjoy this Podcast?Learning how you can get rid of clutter and live an intentional and purposeful life has never been this simple.

You’ll hear from minimalists living on boats, NYC, coverted-van living, traveling the world, and, on today’s episode, a cattle farm with author, Caitlin Henderson. Today you’ll hear about Caitlin’s transition into farm living, what the day-to-day looks like for her and her family, a bit about homeschooling and how to practice slow living in any environment. As with each of these minimalist living interviews, I loved hearing how minimalism has influenced life in these areas and my hope is that it encourages you in your own minimalist pursuits (or maybe even prompts you to change up your lifestyle- you never know)!Show Notes for EP163: Minimalist Living: Cattle FarmingEnjoy this Podcast?Learning how you can get rid of clutter and live an intentional and purposeful life has never been this simple.

Pre-Order Your Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living & Parenting with Simplicity-----------------------------Today is the fourth in a series called Minimalist Living. You’ll hear from minimalists living on boats, NYC, coverted-van living, and, on today’s episode, world travel, with the woman behind The Irish Mummy, Rosie Copp (and special guest, her husband Adam Copp). I told Rosie and Adam during the episode that I was pleasantly surprised where the conversation took us. Rosie spent some time discussing how she worked through decluttering sentimental items while grieving the loss of her mother. I appreciated her insight in this area and hope it helps anyone listening that may be going through the same process. As with each of these 'Minimalist Living' interviews, I loved hearing how minimalism has influenced life in these areas and my hope is that it encourages you in your own minimalist pursuits (or maybe even prompts you to change up your lifestyle- you never know)!Show Notes for EP162: Minimalist Living: World TravelEnjoy this Podcast?Learning how you can get rid of clutter and live an intentional and purposeful life has never been this simple.
