You and your family have come a long way in 13 years of marriage! How I do wish I could have know about minimalism when I was raising my children in the 90’s. We did homeschool, and gained so much those years of school! I, of course, accumulated so much stuff on 40 years of marriage and have been eliminating stuff the past two years. It’s freeing and healthy for me. I no longer have things on my wall as well! No stuff, no dust! Great video!

Thank you! Yes, it is very freeing to be able to let go of things that don't serve a purpose. That's amazing that you homeschooled your children back in the 90's. I imagine it would have been a lot more difficult without the resources we have today.

yeah, a vegan minimalist! and wow, your family is best proof that having a family doesn't mean you can't be a minimalist. i really enjoy your videos. youtube is filled with loud and noisy KZbinrs, I've always enjoyed people who are more quiet. i hope you and your family have a great weekend :) (p.s. I'm also learning Japanese :) but bought myself a Japanese grammar dictionary book, I still do like the feeling of physical books, it's just a different feeling to hold it and flip the pages, but i also read some books on my tablet)

Such an inspiring video. I loved it! My husband would love, love, love your mustang. We have modest cars, but he always looks at the sporty, fast ones. I never would have thought to pan fry bread. (Duh!!!) I do have a toaster, but keep it in a cupboard when not in use. And, yes, it does make lots of crumbs. Had to laugh at the Get Smart DVD's. This is from my era & I totally forgot about this show. Not a makeup wearer, either. I have been using the Vitamin C lotion at night & I think that it is helping. My skin looks brighter. Are you still liking it? And we have been using cloth napkins for years, although I can't get my husband to give up paper towels. I'm going to check out the "Who gives a crap" toilet paper.

Thank you!!! The Mustang was originally my car to take the kids to school in, but they no longer go to school and do not fit in the backseat very well anymore so we may sell it or trade it in for something that has more room . Yes, I really like the Vitamin C serum. It is helping my tan fade and even out my skin tone.

I am not minimalist but I sure do a lot of these things , I don’t drink alcohol , I don’t have much furniture, I don’t own a car , I don’t have Knick knacks , I don’t buy things made out of plastic or most paper products , except tp , I am mostly vegetarian and I don’t buy fancy cleaning products , or prepackaged convenience foods, I do love my hobbies though! But I make soy candles and soap so it’s useful , but ….I won’t give up my biggest possession, my piano !

I dont buy new things only 2hand and when i am at work (drama teacher) i love to use my old stuff as costume or something to the plays. I only paint my own art 🎨 i don't buy paintings. I dont inpuls shop anymore after starting minimalism. Or i mean extreme minimalism. I love the "rules" that come whit this lifestyle, i know it maybe sonds weird but it is more free whit them 🥰 Hugs to everyone that need one from me in Sweden 🇸🇪 🤗 ❤️

Interesting. This highlights how families differ, regarding lifestyle and culture. We have not owned a TV at all for many years, have no need of water filters in our country, use our phones and an ipad for our Kindle collection rather than a separate device… On the other hand I never understand why I so often see duvets without a washable cover in US videos - why??! I also wonder why you never entertain - no friends or family where you live? For us, hospitality is important - as I said, everyone is different and has to adapt to their own needs!!

Hi! Thanks for watching:) For me it’s hard to find covers for the duvet. We can’t really entertain family because we don’t live near our family anymore. We also have not been entertaining friends because of Covid. Maybe in the future we will be able to. Hope you have a good week ✨
