EP28: Minimalist Meal Planning

Pre-Order Your Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living & Parenting with Simplicity-----------------------------Today begins a four week series called Minimalist Living. You’ll hear from minimalists living on boats, in vans, traveling the world, and, on today’s episode, New York City! Author, Elizabeth Passarella, joined me to discuss parenting in the city, what has been trickier (and easier) while living in smaller spaces and more... 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 EP159: Minimalist Living: The Big AppleEnjoy 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-----------------------------Have you heard of the line, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes”? In a more straightforward manner it means: go outside. I love and agree with this notion as I try to get myself outside even when temperatures dip under freezing or quickly make me break a sweat due to humidity (which I prefer less than cold). Anyways, a couple of years ago, I stumbled upon the book, There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather: A Scandinavian Mom’s Secrets for Raising Healthy, Resilient, and Confident Kids. It changed my perspective when it came to getting my kids outside. I felt freer, and more accepting of dirt and mud. All of that to say, it’s quite cold in Ohio right now and I was thinking about how important it still is for children to get outside (even for just 15 minutes here and there) so I reached out to author, Linda McGurk to see if she’d join me to share about how we can encourage our children outside each day, the differences in American and Scandinavian parenting, how to manage weather extremes and much more...Show Notes for EP158: There's No Such Thing as Bad WeatherEnjoy 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-----------------------------As a society, we're obsessed with upgrading. Whether it's the latest smart phone, a new car, furniture, or home. We must 'keep up with the Jones' (and also, we just really like new and shiny things). As someone pursuing a minimalist lifestyle, it can be tough to hold back. That's why I asked fellow minimalist, Carleen Armstead (and special guest appearance from her husband) to discuss this very thing.Show Notes for EP157: To Upgrade or Not to Upgrade with Carleen ArmsteadEnjoy this Podcast?Learning how you can get rid of clutter and live an intentional and purposeful life has never been this simple.
