Description

"Minimalist Moms is an elegant guide for those who are finding motherhood overwhelming." 

Meg Nordmann, author of Have Yourself a Minimalist Christmas

A collection of daily wisdom, affirmations, and meditations that you as a busy mother can use to stay focused and inspired to live a minimalist lifestyle.

Make minimalist living possible for your family. Parenting is hard enough already without trying to change the way you live in one fell swoop. Diane Boden, the host of the Minimalist Moms podcast, knows that what busy moms desire is quick, daily inspiration and a reminder of the positive impact of minimalism. Minimalist Moms is a book of on-the-go minimalist wisdom, that gradually teaches busy parents how to embrace the core principles of minimalism—simple living, focusing on what matters, and inner calm.

Thrive by living with less. Minimalism is more of a way of life than a goal to be reached. We need little reminders to help keep perspective and focus on what’s important to us. Minimalist Moms helps you aspire toward minimalism and simplify your life and home. With daily meditations that take only a few minutes to read, this is the perfect, gentle guide to getting started.

In this book find:

* Practical advice on how to live a minimalist lifestyle emotionally, physically, and mentally

* Mantras that cover a range of topics, from slowing down and getting outside to habit stacking and decluttering

* Accessible minimalism that is applicable to any lifestyle—and any mother

You’ve read motivational books and minimalist books like When Less Becomes More, Make Space, or Cozy Minimalist Home? Then you’ll love Minimalist Moms.

My review

Minimalist Moms, Living, and Parenting with Simplicity, by Diane Boden is an essential guide to set you on the minimalist journey. It does help you envisage what you could personally do. It is a concise and yet comprehensive book. The author not only tackles decluttering but also the reasons why we all had better simplify every aspect of our lives. The examples are telling, the advice is sound, the tips are simple to set up. This is a book I highly recommend if you want to be part of the change, if you want to feel freer, if you would like to save time for your family or for yourself. I will definitely keep it handy to refer back to and give minimalism a try to combat that feeling of being overwhelmed. So, as the book encourages, let's start small but let's start now
