Book SynopsisSimple Minimalism for Your Family and Your Life“Both practical and inspirational, you’ll learn how to simplify and streamline your entire life.” Morgan Tyree, @morganizewithme
A collection of minimalist quotes, daily wisdom, affirmations, and meditations that you as a busy mom 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 are quick, daily minimalist quotes that provide 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 busy mother
