    • As I was passing the hospital on my way to Costco earlier, I burst into tears. Suddenly it hit me...⠀ ⠀ Two years ago today, almost to the hour, I was pulling into the emergency room parking lot with my lethargic little boy in the back seat. We didn't know it at the time but Noah, then two, had contracted a bad case of RSV and his little lungs were overwhelmed. Unfortunately, just three days later, his 11-week-old sister joined him. Between the two of them we spent 19 days in the hospital, six of which Inès spent in the NICU on CPAP while receiving pumped breast milk through a feeding tube.⠀ ⠀ I'm sharing this because this experience was a driving force behind our simplifying journey and this blog. Amidst the chaos of those few weeks and the year that followed, simplifying gave me the sense of control and peace I so desperately needed during that time. ⠀ ⠀ I discovered minimalism can be both a blessing and powerful coping mechanism during times of stress and anxiety. Our full story is on the blog if it resonated with you. For those of you who are new, welcome, and thank you all for being here. 💗⠀ •••⠀ #modernminimalism #lessismore #minimalist #minimalism #minimalismwithkids #babiesandtoddlers #mamahood #minimalistmama #minimal #simplifyingmotherhood #motherhoodsimplified #motherhoodinspired #thisismotherhood #momentsinmotherhood #motherhoodmoments #motherhoodintheraw toddlerplay #toddlerclothes #toddlergram #toddlermomlife #parentlife #parentinglife #rsv #rsvsurvivor

    • This Instant Pot Spinach Artichoke Dip has become my signature on game day, at potlucks, and pretty much all friend and family gatherings lately. After emailing this recipe for the 19th time the other week, I decided it should probably live on the internet. 😂 ⠀ ⠀ It’s seriously the easiest, most delicious dip you’ll ever eat, and the Instant Pot makes it completely fool-proof. Bookmark this baby for the Super Bowl — your friends will thank you. Recipe on the blog, just tap the link in profile! 👆🏻😋⠀ •••⠀ ⠀ #modernminimalism #minimalistmeals #simplefamilymeals #kidfriendly #spinachartichokedip #appetizerrecipe #instantpot #instantpotrecipe #pressurecookerrecipe #instantpotappetizer #eatingfortheinsta #diprecipe #spinach #artichokerecipe #instayum #nomnom #eeeeeats #forkyeah #f52grams #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #goodeats #easyrecipes #simplifying #foodprep #makeahead #vegetarian #eggfree #soyfree #noaddedsugar #glutenfree
    • That feeling when mom says you can stay in your pjs all day. 🙌🏻 🥰⠀ ⠀ As fun as it is to see friends and do all the fun things on the weekend, I make sure to leave some white space on our calendar to give our family time to recharge and reconnect after a busy week. Anyone else savoring a slow weekend at home, too?⠀ ⠀ PS. This girl loves all things cute and cozy and let me tell ya, these adorable pjs from @baby_deedee are new favorites over here! They’re super soft, toasty warm, and have a second zipper just for diaper changes. 🙌🏻⠀ ⠀ My only complaint is that they don’t make them in mama sizes! 😂⠀ •••⠀ #motherhoodsimplified #motherhoodinspired #thisismotherhood #momentsinmotherhood #motherhoodmoments #motherhoodintheraw #mamalife #toddlerfun #toddlerpajamas #toddlerplay #toddlerclothes #toddlergram #toddlermomlife #toddlerphotography #toddlerclothing #toddlertoys #parentlife #parentinglife #modernminimalism #lessismore #minimalist #minimalism #minimalismwithkids #toddlers #mamahood #minimalistmama #minimal #simplify #babydeedee #bedtimewithdeedee
    • Have you guys heard of the "fresh start effect"? 🤔 It's a scientifically-backed phenomenon that explains why we're more motivated to make changes and adopt new behaviors this time of year. 🧠 ⠀ As it turns out, natural transition points that mark the passage of time (like the start of a new week, season, year, or decade!) give us the chance to assess the big-picture view of our lives. These transition points give us the opportunity to relegate past imperfections and make positive changes. It's the underlying motivation behind our vigor to do better and be better in the new year or, in our case, the new decade! 🥳⠀ ⠀ If you're feeling overwhelmed with clutter, obligations, or everyday demands, this 30-Day Minimalism Challenge will help you simplify your home, schedule, and mental load. You will learn how to clear clutter, reduce the noise and demands of the everyday, and create processes to streamline your life.⠀ ⠀ All you have to do is complete one task a day for the next 30 days, the order doesn't matter. ⠀ ⠀ Head to my profile for the challenge details, task descriptions, and free printable.☝⠀ ⠀ And just for fun, anyone who participates in the challenge will be eligible to win a FREE 1-hour minimalism mentoring call with me + action plan.⠀ ⠀ To be eligible to win, all you have to do is: ⠀ • Like and share this post to your stories⠀ • Share at least 5 progress photos of the tasks you've tackled in your feed or stories and tag me @modminimalism so I can see and share as well!⠀ ⠀ Winner will be randomly chosen and notified by DM in mid-February. 🙌⠀ •••⠀ #modernminimalism #lessismore #minimalist #minimalism #thisisminimalism #minimalismchallenge2020 #minimalismchallenge #livemorewithless #minimalismchallenge #minimalismwithkids #minimalismwithtoddlers #minimalistmamahood #minimalistmama #minimal #simplify #declutter #decluttering #declutteryourhome #decluttertips #clutterfreewithkids #howtodeclutter #minimalismmentor
