Today I’ll reflect on the past 8 years as a minimalist. I’ll share the two questions I asked as I decluttered my house, what my husband thought, what I’d do differently and what surprised me just this past weekend!

  1. That's the regret I have too.
    I am nowhere near being a minimalist, or have a decluttered home.
    Because I have a husband and a son who refuse to throw away anything, even broken things.
    I wish I took pictures of everything that went out of my house.
    Because I know I have thrown out so many things, but my house still looks like a bomb exploded in it most of the times
    I know I have done a lot, but still feel like I have accomplished nothing

  2. Thanks for sharing ???? lots of love from arctic Norrway ????????????????????????

  3. I bought that same seed starting tray a couple of months ago. I finally feel like I have time for that part of my gardening hobby because my house is easier to take care of. ❤
    My seedlings have all been transplanted into bigger pots now and I’ve started the “hardening off” process so they will be ready to plant outside in the next couple of weeks.

  4. Sump pump motors don't last forever. It might be time to replace the one that is malfunctioning.

  5. I love your videos so much, you are so inspiring!! This video and the boys room video have been especially inspiring though, because usually I just watch for inspiration and never really felt that what you have accomplished is attainable for me. Seeing these videos of you going through the process with all this actual pile of stuff and getting those results has really newly made me want to try and get there! Thanks so much for all the work you put in!! ❤????

  6. You are pretty much the only reason I go on youtube. Thankyou! Married mom of 4 and I’d say we are in the messy middle but MUCH better than where we were.

  7. Keep shining your light ❤ I so agree, the simpler our home becomes the more full of life it feels. Don’t feel like we’re missing out at all.
