Decluttering regrets that keep me up at night
Просмотров 4,1 тыс.2 месяца назад
An underlying fear when we decide to simplify our homes..."What if I end up regretting getting rid of this?" My answer? Yep! There's things I regret. But, I think there's a better question to ask ourselves... "Is the regret worth it?" Today's video I give you my top three decluttering regrets and what I've learned from them. 🎙 MENTIONED Joshua Becker quote: pC4OqDBLsGLO/ 👉 DISCLA...

Today I’m going to show you the goods. Typically, when I do videos about my wardrobes I focus on capsules and concepts.

With that in mind…let me show you my entire minimalist wardrobe. Every. Last. Piece. ⏰ TIME...

I honestly LOVE organizing! BUT... when my family grew I found that organizing quickly became overwhelming and beyond my capacity. I couldn't make ALL THE STUFF fit.

It's an ongoing process for me and I have aspirations to be able to cook entirely from scratch and produce a lot of my own food.

5 practical ways to SLOW DOWN (not just "rest+relax")
Просмотров 3,2 тыс.7 месяцев назад
For many of us, slowness, stillness, and sabbath can feel unattainable in today's world. It may require us to let some things go - cut the kids' scheduled activities down to one (or none!), spread out the to-do list, rest more and accomplish less. Most likely we'll find that slowing down will result in more peace, a clearer mind, and deeper connection. Here are practical ways to begin living a ...

    Hi Erika, I’m grateful your video came up as a recommendation. I too observe and think about what are current culture is like, especially the sub culture of stay at home moms. And I find myself riding these waves as well and it brings no joy. I’ve been reminded of the story when Jesus visits Mary and Martha, and we tend to follow in the ways of Martha by busyness, rather than cultivating relationships with those near us and with Christ.

    Thank you for this refreshing perspective. Slow living is something I crave but I have a difficult time finding that pace with my family of five. There always seems to be pressure to take advantage of every social , extra curricular , and educational opportunity for my children. As a new homeschooling mom, I am finding that I NEED to say no to so much more than I say yes to. Our schedule gets so overwhelming otherwise… and then my peace and calm goes out the window! I resonate with your views and truly appreciate the time and care you took to make this video. It is encouragement that I needed. It has shown me that this way of life is in fact realistic and completely attainable.

    • @papertownhome

      Thank you for sharing! I love to hear that the content is resonating. A good rule of thumb when slowing down is to experiment. Try cutting back in one place and see how it affects you and the family. Make adjustments as you learn more. I also run a lot of ideas past my husband. He has a strong sense of how much we can take on while still preserving peace.

    • @papertownhome
      @papertownhome 14 дней назад

      Yes! Definitely seasonal. Basically I have summer and winter capsules. Then spring and fall are a mix of pieces from those capsules. Loungewear falls into the “extras” category for the Ten-Item Wardrobe. So there are 10 core pieces and then a flexible number of extras. I have a couple more videos that should flesh it out for you. One title includes, “answering BIG capsule questions” and another is “My Entire Minimalist Wardrobe.”

    • @papertownhome
      @papertownhome 14 дней назад

      I completely understand! I might find myself in a similar situation some day. Just know that being a working mom doesn’t exclude you from slow motherhood. I started this whole journey as a full time working mom and only switched to SAHM a year ago. Depending on your circumstances there will be different trade offs and you may have to say no to some interests that demand too much time in favor of leaving time to rest. I strongly believe the approaches I talked about are applicable for any circumstances, with small adaptations for each individual and family. 😊

    Great topic and video. You are so right about all that you have said. A wise woman once asked me “how to you spell love?” T-I-M-E is what she spelled. So simple yet so profound. Children don’t want things. We foolishly think more “things” will make a more happier child. But it’s quite the opposite. It’s time that’s most valuable. There’s just so much to be said on the topic. Love how you put this together for all the mothers out here.
