I created this blog in an effort to separate my family pictures and updates from those things that I would like to keep record of regarding my journey to living more simply.
This journey officially started in 2011, but truth be told, it is a part of who I am at my core. It is in my nature to live an organized life. And I have found my key to organization is to keep things simple.
Living a simplified life to me is more about focusing on the things that are important and being willing to let the non-essentials go. It means not trying to do it all or have it all. And in that process, I am finding that I am a better wife and friend when I can focus on those things that are important to me.
Simplified living, to me, also means freeing up time and finances to be used where we really want to spend them. It means looking at our schedule and scaling back what we say yes to, so that we have the time to spend together and say yes to the adventures that will create memories. It means meal planning and shopping the deals to get the biggest bang for my buck at the grocery store so that we have money to splurge on treats when something fun comes along.
But ultimately simplified living means keeping my focus daily on my time with my Savior and building a life with my husband and family. I am finding that the more simple we live our daily lives, the more we enjoy our time and resources, and the more we enjoy building this life together.
