I just found this meaning of Dawn's name: Dawn suggests the notions of illumination and hope, the beginning of a new day and thus a chance for happiness and improvement. Sunrise is a symbol of birth and rebirth, of awakening. The coming of light, resurrection. So you have a beautiful name too, Dawn.😊

[@sj6728]

That is lovely!!!

[@findingaway5512]

I love both of their names represent shining because they both shine their light well. 🙂 🌄 And I giggled about the perfect thing with Diana. Since she is more geared to detailed things. 😊

There is a beautiful place in the foothills just in the mountain of Garden of the Gods called Glen Eerie, which means Eagles Nest . It was the home of General Palmer , founder of Colorado Springs, and his beloved wife , Queenie. It is a castle that he built for her. If anything,at least check it out. It is a favorite place for retreats.

[@nancycosgrove4005]

Yes please! I live within an hour of there!!!

[@littlesusiehomemaker1718]

​@@nancycosgrove4005 That's awesome. I do too. It's such a wonderful place!

[@wyogurly]

I have real struggles because my entire career has been in criminal justice. If you knew what I knew you would weep. So my kids don't have cell phones and they won't. Electronics are highly limited and monitored. I do feel like I fear parent but I know. I know the monsters out there.

[@carolynfulton4060]

Diana-that’s funny about throwing things away and not remembering it because we’re older. I’m 68 now and a couple of years when I opened up Christmas decorations and was absolutely delighted with all the things I’d forgotten I had! Boxes full of ‘new’ treasures! 😊. The one perk of getting older! 🤣

[@pamelasimmons1689]

The party pressure is so real. Years ago my family unit switched to birthday experiences instead. We treat it as a mini family vacation that we space out to the kids birthdays. We create memories at semi local locations and celebrate the kids. Local waterfalls, beach house weekend trip, local waterpark. We eat local meals and support the local community and really enjoy our family time together. When I started investing in my family memories instead of keeping up with the elaborate kids parties, life got much sweeter. ❤

[@claudia_christianmommy]

I simply “like” your videos before I even watch them. Why?? A: You guys are such blessings to me and I look forward to hearing you guys. You give me an encouragement in what a healthy mindset looks like. Thank you for sharing your current sisterhood/friendship with us. As a Christian struggling with loneliness and anxiety sometimes, you spread such joy and encouragement on how to be a light in this dark world.

When my granddaughter was 6 by the time she made it to our house for Christmas she said she was tired of opening gifts! Those words never ever came out of my mouth!

People choose whether to be offended and whether to watch - thank you for being you. You are authenticate. ❤ Love you both. God bless you. 💕

[@JulieAldridge-t6d]

I just realized you two are 2 different people 😂. I had first followed Dawn about minimizing and enjoyed her videos. But the other day saw Dianna and thought, oh, she has moved in another direction and has biblical content which I love. Now I see you two together and just have to laugh at myself. Thank you for your good content. My children are grownups now so I’ve been through it all . Now I’m enjoying them being independent!

[@2CorgiMom]

You might look into a retreat at the Christian Conference Center at Cannon Beach, OR. They offer several women’s conferences throughout the year, and are well worth attending!! Summers on the Oregon coast are irresistible!

So sad the Botox video was deleted. It was hilarious 😂 I am also pregnant and having a hard time communicating without it coming across harsher than normal right now so that may or may not have something to do with it 🤣😂

[@skeederskeeder9649]

We do family coordinated pjs in our stockings each year. We open stocking on Christmas Eve and everyone wears their pjs. This way we have everyone looking cute and presentable for photos on Christmas morning. I count these pjs in our planning when shopping in the fall for winter so we don't end up with too many. Its become a fun family tradition and since they aren't necessarily "Christmas" themed we wear them all winter and even pass them down to younger siblings/children.

[@Minimadaa]

Please come to Denver!! I can lend you a tent 😂 9 month postpartum and I still vividly remember how done I was. I was mad she came right on her due date and not earlier haha!

[@lindapetersen2875]

Here in Minnesota would be a great retreat spot!!

[@lizwright8613]

My kids need pajamas, and I'm thinking of giving them Christmas PJs Thanksgiving evening (not wrapped) so they can wear them throughout advent and Christmas. I generally shop secondhand and pass on anything that's in good shape after my kids outgrow it, so I'm not too worried about wasting them.

[@raechelbrennan6012]

Great idea!!

[@bshows14]

I agree with Dawn... teens are SO very hard. Just trying to communicate through all of the big emotions and hormones. Definitely not for the weak.

[@wendycole703]

I like that phrase "drowning in stuff and still lonely" thats so true

[@maureenhebert7673]

Omg I thought I was crazy. I’ve been a fan of minimal mom for months. I happened to find Diana’s channel on useful Christmas gifts and thought, wow, she reminds me,of someone. So glad to see this episode and know I’m not crazy and you’re not the same person. Lol. I guess your twins? How amazing same voice etc. Both of you are delightful.

[@simmiedavissimmiesings8185]

I remember when I discovered this. It was so fun to see the differences as well as the similarities.❤

[@MyFocusVaries]

The spiritual meaning of Dawn is illumination and hope.

[@beautiful-insideandout180]

One year, we did pajamas that involved something they liked, because it got old when we were wearing our pajamas for months. 😂 So, just a set they love and the picture will represent what types of things they enjoyed that year rather than just the holidays.

[@kellymo4]

Yes let's do it! Retreat in CO! Burna Vista, CO has a conference center!

[@LL-pq5uo]

I'm HUGE on birthday celebrations. If people want to celebrate simply, to each their own. But the way I view it, life is so precious -- not everyone is blessed with another year of life, that's why I enjoy going big on celebrating birthdays every year, especially for my daughter (whose birth made me a MOM!) 🥳💝💕💖

[@angeleahmacdonnell7750]

Diana, you say you live super simply! I’d love for you to give us a home tour someday!

[@singerjo5791]

Last year my daughter and her family went to Great Wolf Lodge for a couple of days for Christmas. She gave them new swimsuits, goggles and beach towels. They loved it and no clutter.

St. Louis is a good place for a conference. It is in the middle of the country and moderately priced

[@Pinkfong2]

You girls both have a lot of wisdom at an early age and I think you’re good 95% of the time. It’s the gift giving and receiving that always rankles me. I grew up with Italian Grandparents and part of the European culture was to receive gifts graciously. After you can do whatever you want with the gift but you never insult the person by giving instructions on gifts and the amount. It’s a very American way of doing things and I much prefer the other way where you take into account the person, other than yourself, in the gift giving process. It is so harder to enjoy grandchildren today because the parents are so stringent about everything. I know many who just walk away or just reduce their time. So many of us are missing out but it’s a different world.

[@roslynwilkinson5144]

Birthdays are so insane! Yes, let me get a present for a kid in your class that I have never been to their house, I have no idea what they like, and even if you look at the invitation gift ideas, how many Lego kit/ dolls/ trucks/ Barbies/ etc. Does one kid need? I went to a party where the birthday child got two of the exact same gift!!!!!!!

[@michianamom6343]

My daughter just asked us to join them at a homeschool conference in Pigeon Ford the beginning of May. They are still adding more but have the keynote speakers set (Ben Carson and one of the Kenderick brothers-the one who is in the movie). It would be awesome if you were there doing a workshop or session.

[@woodsafamadventures]

I Homeschool my kiddos, and our older two have both graduated. I took my old letter jacket ‘96 and added my daughter’s graduation numbers ‘21 under mine. I also order a patch with her name and main activities to add under my name, and she loved it! Also did the same for our son ‘22 with my husband’s old letter jacket:-). They got to wear personalized “vintage cool” jackets;-)

[@raechelbrennan6012]

What a great idea!!

[@adelinevanderbyl5385]

I think Dawn means luminous and perfect too! Think about it, the light of the Dawn, and a new day is fresh with no mistakes in it!

[@hilaryrorison4339]

We had a joint party for our 4 and 2 yo recently. We asked for no gifts and got SO many gifts! I ended up stashing 90% of their gifts in the office in a closet. We'll be using them as gifts for others or perhaps to pull out as new exciting toys when the new baby comes in July.

[@kristyleavitt8007]

A retreat in the mountains sounds great! Maybe in the Rocky Mountains in Banff, Alberta, Canada?? 😉 (I live in Calgary - 1.5 hrs from Banff - so this is my vote!❤)

[@AKAskaGram]

I recently uncovered my “foster” son’s letter jacket. His teenage son loved it so much he wore it home. Maybe your daughters would enjoy wearing it from time to time. I know it doesn’t fit in with the minimalist life style, but it’s kinda fun to be nostalgic too. 😊

[@lisakrings5419]

Your LETTERMAN JACKET, an idea I would share is to donate them to the school you got them from. I work at a school and we love getting items like that to display at special occasion like alumni banquets 😃!

To have supportive sisters; y'all are both blessed. Thank you for sharing some of your relationship with us. Birthdays: Ever heard of people donating their bdy to Charity Water? It's a thing and a POWERFUL organization. Letterman's Jacket: My husband gave his to his oldest nephew, who lives in the town my husband grew up in. His last name is unique and the nephew gets a kick out of the stories he hears when he runs into people while wearing the jacket.

Birthday parties= I agree! They are so out of hand. The parties are like mini-carnavals and the gifts are so ridiculous. Dawn, you said $20, Here in New York, it is normal to give $50 gifts for a birthday party. It is insane. I like the fiver idea but I would be in the minority. No one would want to be the one to start it. My kids had house parties and party games. Now parties are in a "venue"

I don’t like to add to the huge Christmas present pile, so for the children in the family I buy them a Christmas tree ornament and call it their Advent present. I have done it for my grandchildren too. I don’t buy for most adults except for my husband, daughter and son in law. My mum has dementia and is in a home. She has all her needs met and as she no longer knows any of us, personal presents don’t really mean anything to her. Instead we club together and pay for entertainment for the residents at the home. We’ve had singing groups, animal petting zoos and we bought garden ornaments to pretty up the garden for summer. No clutter and everyone gets to enjoy it. 😊

What a fun conversation! Parenting at every stage has its joys and challenges. As a Certified Christian Parenting Coach I love the book “Discipline that Connects with your Child’s Heart.” Connected Families is a wonderful ministry right there in your home state of Minnesota. It is hands down the best parenting resource I’ve found, through any and all stages of parenting.

[@jengruber7265]

Love, the fiver idea! We usually write on kids party invitations "no presents, just your presence!" And I will usually explain that my child is just simply excited to spend time with his or her friends and we want to make this party about quality time and not presents. I'm someone who is absolutely a gifts person, just like you, Diana! But I would rather gifts come from close family that make time to see my child for their birthday and give them something they've been desiring or need. Versus school friends who maybe don't know exactly what their interests are, these gifts tend to be stuff that we don't want or need.

[@pamgroom7117]

I agree. Babies are easier on the outside than on the inside.

I don’t do Christmas pajamas, but another way to view it when using through Feb and March as you mentioned, is thay you're keeping reminders of the CHRISTMAS SPIRIT alive through other times of the year 🤷‍♀️ That's how I view a few of my favorite holiday things that I use throughout the year.

Thank you for what you said about the consequences and showing them that we don’t want to do things but we do it anyway, we struggle so much with our son and eating meals and I love that approach. Let him make this choice and just live with the consequences

[@SweetPetunia897]

Regarding Christmas pajamas, our family tradition growing up was to get Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve but as we got older and weren’t growing out of things every year my mom branched out to other sleep items. We got robes one year, slippers, pillows even one time. So we found ways to kept the tradition even when we didn’t need new pajamas. I have given my kids pajamas every year but not usually Christmas themed. So far they’ve always needed a new pair of pajamas for the winter each year so I haven’t had to get creative. This year they’re just getting PJ pants though because they have enough shirts and blow through the knees of their pants so fast that they don’t need a fresh set, just the pants.

[@charitybond7562]

So enjoy watching you both. I am waiting on the arrival of our first grandchild who will arrive any day-paused your video, went online and ordered Simply Parenting-thanks for the recommendation : ) As for birthday parties I want to have a relationship with my sister's grandchildren, my great nieces and nephews, but don't want to add to the gift piles. We started 10 years ago doing "birthday dates" one on one with them. They know we will be calling to book a date around their birthday and as they get older they give a lot of forethought as to where they would like to go. They love going out with us and leaving siblings at home and we love the sweet one on one time we get with each of them. It is the gift they look forward to every year.

[@dena-mo118]

We rarely did big birthday parties with our kids growing up. When we did them at the local pizza place, as each child came in, we would have our sons greet the guest and immediately open their gift in front of them. And individually thank them. Then the gift immediately went into a black trash bag.(was ahead on the black trash bag, Dawn 😄) Most kids are not interested in watching another kid open a gift, and they don't get to play with it. The group event was eating pizza and then singing "Happy Birthday" and eating cake.

There used to be a lady on KZbin somewhere who understands what you mean. She learned the hard way that children mirror you. Anything you put out, even subconsciously, is thrown right back at you through your child. Like a negative spiral. Hope you find your balance soon ❤
