  • my TOP TEN list of [bare] essentials for a newborn and a NEW parent. It's not easy to become a parent and transition into a dramatically different phase of life. There are a few things that will help you with that transition, but there are A LOT of things that will make false promises and clutter up your home. My best advice is to go slowly. Pick out a few essentials to start out with, you can always fill in the holes as needed.

    It's so refreshing to see other Mamas who enjoy the simple, quiet moments with their little ones and make them their priority. All of your videos are so lovely.

    I am so happy I found your channel. We grew up as a minimalist family of 8. And when i had my first child, thirteen years ago, minimalism went out the window! Because of marketing, parenting advice, hand-me-downs, mom guilt, and the never-ending baby competitions parents do. We now also have a 5, 4, and 2 year-old and we have 1/4 of what my first child had. And are so much happier. ❤

      That is awesome! Great encouragement for other young moms. The marketing these days is SO POWERFUL and cuts right to the core of our fears as parents. I'd really like to get ahead of that for as many new moms as possible!

      You should read Simplify your Life with Kids. It's an amazing book. It goes by subjects and is like numbered bite sized information that you can apply in your life right away. It's a little book and I still reference it often after 13 years.

    Amazing content. Self-care when you're a brand new mom can be as simple as taking a hot shower, taking the time to lather lotion all over your body instead of just your arms and legs. Shaving your legs. Or even just detangling and combing out your hair fully and feeling how refreshing that feels. Keep it simple Mamas. ❤

    At first, I was a tad nervous with that intro but decided to continue watching.... Calm, realistic, & mature approach. Thank you 🙏

      Cool ^_^
      Specifically, I was referring to "becoming a parent is incredibly hard ...."! Which is true but some first-time moms are already nervous & apprehensive 😅
      But I enjoyed it. Even the minimalist lifestyle has always appealed to me, I feel as Americans, we do "spend/waste" quite a bit (compared to other nations. I think once I saw a Japanese vid that showed how a Japanese household contains mostly the stuff that are basic & necessary, yes part of it due to the tiny living spaces in the cities but that's when I started admiring the minimalist approach).
      Keep up the good work, please

    For all the new Mamas i recommend reading Simplify your Life with Kids by Elaine St. James, There is No Such Thing As Bad Weather, and Simplicity Parenting. ❤ Amazing books that put things in perspective for a simple life.
