12 Minimalist Habits that changed our family forever!

[@TheArmsteadFamily]

Hey Minimal Fam ♥️! What minimalist habits do you have that have changed your life?

[@tcmomcoffey4028]

????? What brand and type mattress 8s your bed it looks soft i have horrible back pain

[@pirateslife4me]

A long time ago I read tips including 1) decide in advance what a room is used for and what it looks like (empty surfaces, etc) and then maintain that vision and 2) create space for something new you want or need by first clearing out the same size/amount of stuff you already have.

[@tcmomcoffey4028]

@the armstead family what kind of mattress bed etc do you have i have severe back pain etc and trying to see what kind u have and it looks soft

[@aprilslama4641]

10 item wardrobe. My husband and I share a very modest closet and no dressers or anything. Then moved to.toys. once you feel that freedom the decluttering doesn't stop and you move to other spaces in your home!

[@briannab5296]

@@tcmomcoffey4028 .. i also suffer from back & hip pain and what has helped me most wasn't replacing my mattress but adding a 4" memory foam topper on top of it. It has been a life changer!

[@regalo1979]

Good-looking couple. Women with husbands who are aware of their family duties, including cleaning and organizing really have big advantage. That's a big blessing!

[@annettecabezas6697]

It’s true, I can’t do it without my husbands opinion , he is much better at this than me but it’s great when we do it together

Yess I always thought so too

[@bethanygunther7657]

A speech therapist once recommended to me to keep the toys up on the top shelf of the closet so that my kiddos have to ask for the toy they want, it’s definitely made a difference ❤️

[@TheArmsteadFamily]

I love this because I wasn’t told to do it but that’s exactly what happened my son out of nowhere started pointing and saying “look, blocks” that was the first step to him asking for things ❤️❤️

[@normidwest1316]

as a speech language pathologist I have to say thank you

[@BFNLEO]

I do this naturally with some stuff like the other commenter, blocks & legos for example. But that is such a great idea to put all or most away! I have 4 kids under 9 so yes it will benefit ME and THEM 😂

[@rolandemorgan5992]

I'm trying to declutter now. I felt like crying when I started. Doing better now.

[@TheArmsteadFamily]

Proud of you for taking that step even when it was hard... you can do this ❤️

[@keelove9223]

Same. I have to stop every so often because I get overwhelmed with anxiety then go back at it. I’ve found that taking a much needed ‘Pause & breath’ is the only way to get thru it

[@leshawndamorris8557]

I am legit starting today and I see anxious about it

[@sandihumeniuk4462]

You should be proud of the gift you gave your husband, and not embarrassed, the best gift is the one the receiver wants! We’ve always given each other practical and inexpensive gifts.

[@annarosaliina]

You're so right! Practical gifts are the best because it's actually nice to receive them and not have to worry about what to do with them later and it's also nice to give someone something they really wanted and will use in the future. I don't know if it's more of an american thing to do to just buy something fancy or fabulous and not think if the receiver will actually use the gift but for me that would actually feel more like a burden and a waste of money. I like when gift giving is actually done thoughtfully and not just as a gesture or something you just "have to do". Also a tip for gift giving: I have in my notes app a list of people I want to give gifts to and when I hear them say "I wish I had..." or "I really need to get some..." etc, I write them down and get them what they've actually been wishing for and not having to ask it directly because I still love the surprise of opening the gift and seeing what's inside. Everyone is always amazed of how I knew exactly what they wanted since they may not even remember saying their wish out loud 😄 Sneaky!

[@sandihumeniuk4462]

@@annarosaliina that is a great tip!

[@TheArmsteadFamily]

PERFECT!!!

[@beccagriffin3105]

I just wanted to say thank you for your pure honestly on tackling the clutter issue that so many families face.

[@catharinabra]

Mealplanning and only buying what we need for the week has been a gamechanger. We don’t need to hoard food, we still have enough for a month at home if we eat random things we have in our freezer, pantry and fridge. I really like to have my horizontal spaces empty or simply decorated as well. So easy to keep clean and soothing for my mind.

[@TheArmsteadFamily]

😊❤️

[@kiwikim5163]

Whenever my husband came home with some gadget “for me” for the house, I would feel like I had to accept it.Then I finally developed some assertiveness and asked him to return these things. Having to return them quickly broke him of the habits of buying me things each time he brought one home. Having to return each silly item quickly broke him of the shopping “for me” habit.

[@TheArmsteadFamily]

Some people really love getting gifts for others, I am not like that (C’jon) 😂.. so I can definitely see how that might be a hard conversation to have with your husband!

[@reflect4627]

HOw about replacing one habit with another, instead of stuff, how about a hug, or wash the car or clean the tub..? Or use that saved money for a dinner out? PUt that money saved into a jar called:"I almost bought this today" then a month later discuss what you like to use it for or roll over till next month.

@@JAH-iu3yh do you already have a shredder? If not, check a thrift store. My husband and I found a paper shredder at Habitat for Humanity Restore. You can still recycle the shredded paper later, too. PLUS, there's something satisfying about shredding things. :D

[@amberhyland]

This is awesome. I’m newly married and my husband and I are in the first throes of learning to live together. He’s a lot more sentimental than I so it’s been a journey decluttering but we were both continuing to learn. I’ve always wondered if and when we’re blessed with children how I’d maintain a minimalist lifestyle so THANK YOU for these videos!

[@raebean6018]

It's so true it's about your preference. I decluttered then decorated my room, but then still felt so cluttered. I removed pictures and paired it right back and it feels so much better now.

[@TheArmsteadFamily]

That’s a great way to figure out what works 😊

[@Kd9bpy]

That "Aha" moment you learn that getting something as simple as a food scale meant more to him regardless of the cost or lameness.....meant more because it showed you were thinking about what was truly important to him....awesome!!!!!

[@cantocant2346]

Dang, y'all are beautiful. It is so refreshing to see a couple working together to make a lovely home. I applaud your efforts. One thing I noticed is the sticker on your garbage can and I was like "how do you have such a beautiful, minimal home and y'all got a big sticker on the garbage can, LOL". For me, price and brand stickers are visual clutter. I lake stickers off everything as soon as I get it home. You know it's always got to be someone with something negative to point out, Ha, It really is one of the first things I notice in people's homes, though. Enjoyed your video and thank you for sharing your story!

I'm not a minimalist, but I will tell you, having less is sooooooo much better for all the reasons you already mentioned.! I'm taking a space at a time. Last Saturday I did the kitchen drawer, why did I need 5 spatulas? when I can only use one at a time, why did I have several sets of measuring cups? You know where I'm going with this. So this is my journey also. Nice videos.

[@TheArmsteadFamily]

Love this 😊❤️

[@RunwrightReads]

I love your comment. Starting right where we are is key. I have 2 spatulas in my kitchen and I was just thinking today that I will get rid of the one that I never use anymore. It’s not always a whole house purge right away. Sometimes, it’s just a drawer at a time

[@viviangautier2160]

I love this channel! You make a perfect team! God bless you and your beautiful kids.

[@Cat-ik1wo]

Excellent and real. I am a minimalist too, been for several years. I have my own method that works for me. It is not one size fits all. You do have to be honest with yourself, and it has to be right or comfortable for you and how you live. Never going back. It has opened my eyes to the real.

[@TheArmsteadFamily]

Awesome 😊❤️

[@lisastephen8540]

I am moving to a new place and am grateful to see this. I too want to create a peaceful and inviting space.

[@TheArmsteadFamily]

Hey Lisa ❤️.. moving is the best time to make these changes 😊

[@lisabird7093]

I’ve been decluttering as a way to reduce the anxiety I feel when all I can see is ‘stuff’. My husband always comments positively on the changes, but he’s not on board. We’ve compromised in a way as we have baskets and containers he can dump stuff in, but he still leaves stuff all over and keeps buying more. It must be so much easier to be in it together.

[@TheArmsteadFamily]

Hey Lisa ❤️.. it wasn’t always this easy, but over time when we were both on board we saw great progress. Keep up what you are doing and he will see the peace you are creating 😊

[@bethanyswiss]

One of my favorite tips is to get all black towels and washcloths. They last forever, look modern, and you don’t see the stains. I also set up three bins in my little one’s closet. They are: - donate - save - nicer clothes to give to others / sell This gets the out grown clothes out of rotation and out of ending up back in the dirty clothes basket. It’s been so helpful. When it gets full I take it out and disperse as needed.

[@christinam.3410]

I love that they love the balance they found. On a personal note I find the house beyond minimal, it looks empty to me but that's just personal taste. Glad they're happy with it :) Love their vibes and positivity

Great motivation here! I have been working on trying to declutter for the past few years, but now I'm totally going in because the clutter and mess has gotten to crazy. I have two boys and their room has become unmanageable so I'm decluttering alot more. My husband is on board with me in the process but since he works a landscaping job all week 6 days a week, I'm alone in the cleaning 😅 so just taking it one day at a time. Yesterday he was so impressed at how much bags i have for donations in the car. 😂 I know the end result will be everything! 🙏

When I give a gift, I study the person, and listen carefully when they talk. So I only give what a person mentions or can use and the person always loves it!! If anything, I go off with the wrapping, which the person loves so much they don't want to open the gift!!! The moment you give a person a gift you want them to have is the moment you set them up for disappointment and your feelings being hurt. Ask the person, be specific and accept what they say as an honest answer. I would rather see the gift in use than to hear the person say it's in the closet or worse they gave it away. I once gave a friend a box of 24 smooth writing inexpensive pens that she actually wanted. To this day, 9 months later she uses and treasures them. Remember, the gift is not about you but the receiver of the gift

[@TheArmsteadFamily]

We definitely have our share fair of people in our life that give gifts for their own sake…. Definitely can relate
