    Single mom here. Also raised her in small homes. She Just graduated college, top of class, great job lined up. Advice, early bedtime, limited screens, whole food, school everyday. Fun on weekends too!

      I agree. I raised my only daughter that way. Today she is 23 and moved across country to Toronto to do her Masters. I showed up everyday for her and she reciprocated by putting in the work

    You did a great job on making each space so special 💕
    Very organized & clean 💕
    I lived in a three bedroom, one bath house with my parents & there were nine children. I wouldn’t have changed anything!!! My dad worked hard outside the home & my mom worked hard within the home. We had home cooked meals, clean clothes & a clean home 💕
    I have so many good memories growing up in that house. Sitting around our big table that my dad made 💕
    It’s not how much you have, it’s the love our parents gave to us…unconditional 💕

    You did a fantastic job with your bedroom and closet. You're showing your girls you don't have to have a huge place to be comfortable, safe, warm, and happy. And I am with you on going minimal(ish) with clothing. Especially when kids are young and outgrowing everything so darn fast it's hard to keep up. Going to look for more of your content now. =)

    Beautiful, this is lovely! There are so many single mothers living with others, in the vehicle, or in uncomfortable situations. Your girls have a loving mother doing what you have to do for your family. Your place is gorgeous! 😍 I love the natural colors! And don't feel rushed to move to something larger. The housing/apartment market is crazy ridiculous right now with high rent and mortgages. P.S. I bet your daughters LOVE, LOVE, LOVE being in the same room with you. ❤️ May God continue to bless you and your family! 🙏🏾

    I am a single mom of 3 in my 40's. I have an established career and make decent money but the rentals and housing costs in general are so inflated that I refuse to be house poor. I downsized from a 5 bedroom house to a 2 bed apt. The dining room in the apt is tucked away in the back and since a formal dining room is not needed, I converted that into my bedroom and gave my boys one bedroom and my daughter the other. My apt is newly renovated and so cozy and truly enough space for us. Most importantly I am saving tons of money. I honestly am more comfortable here than in my big house. Do what works for you:)
    Oh and tips for anyone wanting to try this: I got a tension rod and hung 95" pinch pleated curtains to act as a door/ room divider, I have a small eat in kitchen table inside my kitchen where my kids eat, and I share the walk in closet with my daughter. Get creative and as long as your interior design is on point and your place is clean it will look amazing.

    I'm still doing this; with my grandsons now.
    The oldest (14) wanted some privacy, so he's got a single bed and table in the closet. I took the doors off and hung curtains instead. His fave colors are red, black, & white, so he has a tri-colored comforter, I painted the walls white, the edges of the shelf black (where his clothes live), and the curtains are red.
    The youngest (5) loves construction vehicles and rainbow. His bed is an excavator (shelves for the scoop) where I put his clothes and pull-ups (for overnight), and I got him a rainbow comforter. He's also closest to the window, so I put rainbow window cling on it.
    My bed is across from his with grey (neutral) on my bed.
    I hung individual hooks by the door for our daily jackets and bags, put a small shelf for shoes. This way I can use the hall closet for hanging clothes. My folded clothes go up on the shelf of that closet in bins.
    Our puzzles and games are in the TV cabinet. Books are in shelves.
    Toys are in bins in the bottom of the hall closet (where we hang clothes).
    I have no dressers.
    There's nothing wrong with living like this as long as each person has their own place to retreat to. Lots of time together to love each other.
    That is the necessity! 🥰

    I remember when my parents divorced, our mom had to downsize to something she could afford. We had a 1 bedroom with 3 of us girls. One side of the very small room had a full size bed that me and my sister shared. My mom would sleep in a twin bed with my little sister on the other side of the room with room for a dresser only between the 2 beds. I also used those hospital pads when I was older and would have my periods because my flow was so heavy. Because of that reason too, I always put a mattress protector on all my beds. It really irks me when I see people that don't use them on their beds. I like your kids comforter themes. The only thing I would have done different is switch the 2 beds. Put the bigger bed in the corner and the smaller one on the side by the closet.

    Hi just came across your video. I think you have created a very warm and calming sleeping environment for your family. It is not overwhelmed with stuff. It feels very relaxing and when you turned on that sleep light/noise machine, I wanted to curl up and sleep. I think your personal style will have a very positive impact on your children. They will grow up to appreciate what you have instilled in them at an early age. So good job mom! Take a moment to pat yourself on the back because you deserve it and much more.
