Welcome to this month's episode, which is my minimalism ramblings.

We are preparing for a big home renovation in the next few weeks, and I am currently

in the process of touching everything that we own, moving it into boxes, moving us out of our house to prepare for this.

And minimalism has been on my mind. So today I'm touching lightly on all the things,

wardrobe, kitchen, bathroom, shoes,

socks, souvenirs, and lessons in buying for our kids.

Thanks for tuning in.

Hi, this is Deney.

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, and decreasing the mental load.

My perspectives are based in my firsthand experience raising kids, but also rooted in my PhD in child development.

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

Thanks for joining us.

Hello, hello, Deney here. Thank you so much for tuning in today. We are talking all things minimalism.

Especially when it comes to the home and the stuff. The physical

things that sometimes seem to bring us a lot of joy and simultaneously weigh us

down. Some of you who are long time listeners may know that I started my

minimalism journey when my youngest was just an infant. She was maybe nine months old and now she's eight. And during that

time period we've lived in four different houses, which means we've moved a lot.

And for anyone that's ever moved, you know that you quite literally

have to lay your hands on every single item that you own and make a decision about it.
