Hi, I'm Dawn - A Minimalist & Mother of Four
If we haven't met - I have four kids, ages 10 through 15 and we live in rural south central Minnesota.
I've called myself a minimalist for almost ten years and couldn't imagine living any other way. And, because it's so positively impacted our lives, I enjoy sharing about this lifestyle as a proven way to simplify and find peace.
Our Journey Began Several Years Ago...
From the outside looking in, we were living the dream.
We had it all: we had four healthy kids, I got to stay home with them and we were making ends meet.
But, I was slowly becoming resentful toward our home, and my role as manager of it all. I remember thinking, “Why would I pick up all of these toys on the floor when I’m just going to have to pick them up again tomorrow?”
It’s like our stuff was saying, “Dawn, why can’t you keep your kids’ toys picked up? Why can’t you keep the dishes done? Why can’t you keep up?”
Something didn’t feel right.
"I Want To Live Like That"
Then I came across a podcast by Joshua Becker of Becoming Minimalist and all I could think was, “I want to live like that!”
He talked about living with less and how if we aren’t careful we can become “stuff managers.” He discussed how clutter eats away at our time, zaps our energy, causes stress, and makes our life and our home chaotic.
Over the next year, I started clearing out the clutter and haven’t looked back.
I Don't Miss Any Of That Stuff, And I Don't Think You Will Either
Join me as we declutter and discover what’s under all of those piles… I know there's a peaceful space just waiting to be found!
- Dawn
