We have a newborn girl and I really dont want to invite her into our hurried anxious way of living. I wish we could spend time with this family. Could anyone recommend an effective way to define our household values that would help guide our decisions and prioritise what we commit to and cut out?

This video is exactly what I needed to see. I have felt so guilty for years on not being able to keep a consistent morning routine. I need mine to unfold naturally too. I heard something once that said “stop trying to fit God into your day, and fit your day around your time with God.” It made me realize how many other things don’t “fit”.

Wonderful video. You've got such a lovely calming voice! I'm hoping to hear more on how to manage tantrums and other difficult situations with children. You alluded that there might be a video coming on that subject? Or did I just make that up 😃

Like your ideas, as for plastic bags to store in the fridge, I reuse glass jars for them.

Please share the youtube shows you watch as a family

The key word with the toy rotation bins is opaque 😂 currently my son is always asking for the toys he can see in the transparent container on a shelf in the closet.

I lovvved how you did this video ❤

Lovely video xxx

Any tips on decluttering books and toys? I only have one child but plan to have more and im holding on to everything because I don't know what to purge. I think books are a bit harder than toys as well because they all seem valuable and have something to teach.

Hi Erika. I thought I would share a tip: when I peel and core a bunch of apples, I like to keep the "discards" and boil them into a yummy "apple tea". I let it simmer in water for 5 - 10, even 15 minutes with a pinch of salt and a cinnamon stick (optional). It gets this lovely pink color 😊 Would be probably nice with honey too. The flavor is quite mild but it's a treat I think, and nutritional for sure 😊🍎❤️ I appreciate and am touched by the love and insight that you share through your channel. Thank you 🙏❤️👋

I miss childrens childhood. When he used to follow me it was so annoying - 16yrs later- he runs away from me.😮 Kiss n hug children each day- look after them because it will be worth it.

I really love your insight on expecting homemaking to be effortless. I realise too that i often condemn what I have instead of being thankful for them because many minimalists often like to market it as things are effortless once you've downsized. Thanks for shifting my perspective on it. Will continue to simplify while having realistic expectations!

Thanks for explaning the thought process behind your wardrobe. It is super helpful. I have minimal shoes around 5 pairs but wardrobe is just difficult. I was very slim at one point and had a lot of clothing from that era. And then i had my prebaby weight, then the postpartum weight. My postpartum clothes are mostly second hand and hand me downs. And 2 years on ive lost some weight but not down to prebaby. I have way too many boxes of tbd clothes and clothes for when I get pregnant again. It's nuts! So seeing your video is so helpful, thank you so much!

One of the most helpful ideologies I heard when trying to mentally feel okay about situational issues was, “it’s okay to go slow.”

The persons video that you reference has a caption that say, “Caption for the rest.” Does that mean something or did they forget to finish the captions and leave it unedited? Or is it referring to the caption itself being there for the idea of resting physically? It seems unedited and overlooked.

I hate the microfiber cloths also but they are good for certain areas like glass and mirrors I find after cleaning with a different type of cloth.

Watching this at 2x speed just because 3x ain’t there

I’ve liked the idea of keeping my wardrobe is what i can wash in a single load. I wear to many hats (variety in climates and duties) to limit to this extent but love the concept. Can take the principles and leave the #.

I love your schedule. Thanks for sharing❤

I really do appreciate this perspective on parenthood. I love learning about my faith as a catholic, as a therapist and artist , but those first few years in my children’s life I’m taking it very slow and staying home with them. I’m naturally sensitive and very introverted, it means a lot to us as parents that we provide a slow stress-free environment where they can just be children, locate their strengths and work on the abilities they’ll need later on (though no pressure at their very young ages). These small moments with my children where I’m attentive to their ideas and their desire for my love and attention means a lot to me because it means even more to them. I tell them how much I love and appreciate them very sincerely. It may seem over the top, but I want my children to believe their voices matter and that they have traits that make them a credit to society.

First video I’ve seen of yours. Watched all the way through. Instant sub. 😊

Its funny. We have a lot of the same stuff like the Stokke chair.. It was nice until our son hit 5. Now he wants to use the same chairs as us. Same with his nice silverware.

“The things you own end up owning you. It's only after you lose everything that you're free to do anything.”

You have at least one man listening. Thank you for the parenting content :)

Great video!!! 👏🏼😁 currently 36 weeks with baby #4 and I regret all the stuff I had with my first two babies.. 😑🙄 lol I had a lot of things that never got opened or used. Such a waste imo. Minimalist life is so refreshing!

I love washi take, in getting a pack of sea themed ones to put in my son’s birthday piniata/or pass the parcel game.

I have a routine taking left over food off plates but my partner does most of the washing up. I think if we had a dish washer I would put the dishes in there straight away after cleaning the food off them.

I do my washing every day too! It’s so much easier to cope with 👏 My main reason was that I never had enough room to hang up and dry loads of washing that accumulated over days.

No wonder things have spiralled in my household the past couple of years 😱 I’ve been doing school runs to two different schools, getting them out first thing, then my work etc one son has been out of school most of this year due to mental health. So this did simplify our mornings only doing one school run. However, that has started to go wrong as he won’t be rushed in the mornings (especially as his brother gets to stay at home). We managed to get temporary agreement from the school to come in late in the mornings but this was still causing chaos with me being able to start work on time. I know they’re too much rushing and that’s stressful for all of us.

Capitalism is killing us.

My children are a bit older and they start to have more say and influence over what I can achieve in a day. I can plan the day but two other strong minded children often redirect my attention, energy, time availability. I love the simplifying idea though and try weave it into our lives. My 9 year old is recovering from burnout (!) and he’s doing much better, still wears the same clothes each day (clean ones, he has lots of white tops and black jogging bottoms so he doesn’t have to make that decision).

4:39 what is this hanging fruit, please?

This video was imperfectly perfect! Absolutely loved it!

❤🙏

Your channel is so motivating! Can you please share a link to the shelves/hanging bar system you use in your kids’ closet?
