Hi, this is Dene.

I'm the founder of Simple Families.

Simple Families is an online community for parents who are seeking a simpler, more intentional life.

In this show, we focus on minimalism with kids, positive parenting, family wellness,

So you're going to hear conversations that are based in research, but more importantly, real life.

Thanks for joining us.

One is the grocery list, the second is the prep day list, and the third is the dish day list.
