Healthy Habits For 2025! minimalism, declutter, cycle, prioritize...

[@theahaberman8189]

I just wanted to say I really appreciate how you allow your kids to live their lives while you film (wandering in and out, interacting with you, etc.), while also respecting their privacy. It's so refreshing!

[@HannahVogelsmeier]

I am so happy to find a mama minimalist that loves textures and colors. AND you’re whippin’ out Bible verses? God bless ya

I would love to see a video all about minimalism with kids/ kids toys! How you manage holidays and birthdays and family members constantly buying things

[@sarahe397]

Especially this time of year! Phew

[@AAMtruthteller]

Accept them. Be gracious, loving, and say thankful. Then, let your kids use the items for a day or two. If it's an outfit, take a picture in it. Then, GIVE IT AWAY! When I started doing this and stopped being frustrated with those who kept giving us more than we need, life became more peaceful, and those relationships stopped being strained. Bless.

[@lithopheliax61x5]

​@@anastasiatelles9304Keep them? If you are quite minimal otherwise, the 2- 3 extra- things won't matter. Like, what is ONE extra- outfit? If you feel it gets too much, just get rid of something else they won't miss. ( And if it is toys, I am bit of the mind that you have to respect your kids wishes. If you have the space and want to room clean, find other storage? But in general, let the child decide and maybe observe whether they use the thing. If yes, keep it?)

As a 40 year old mama of 4, I have gleaned so much wisdom from you☺️ you’re a blessing in this space!

[@chayili4068]

Mam, I have been following you since your old KZbin channel, for about 7 years now. I've always loved these types of videos from you. 😊 May God continue to bless and keep you and your family. 💜

[@mildwestco]

I love how you said you've taught your kids to appreciate things they want and how we as women can appreciate priorities in other women that we admire. That really spoke to me, even more so as there are a lot of things in life right now that I want but can't have. Thank you

[@jessibalestrieri8751]

I needed to hear about the spilled coffee and seeking my strength from the Lord and His word. Incredibly profound. Thank you Sarah ♥️ God is so good.

[@Becky-ej1qe]

You don't have to own it to appreciate it. That was beautiful

[@ElinevanderLaan]

Admiring without aspiring has helped me with spending habits tremendously :)

[@SafiyaUmIlyas]

I really enjoy this content 🤍 People tend to take homemaking as some mediocre side - thingy in their life, but boy does this kind of loving and purposeful work in a home make a difference! 😄 No matter if you are a mom or not, building the ability to take care and maintain a warm, welcoming home is very beautiful and will give you a lot of peace 😌 Thanks for sharing Sarah, God bless 🤍

[@micaelablogs]

You are so right! I'm so thankful for the purpose I've found in homemaking and motherhood 😊

[@aliciamarie7487]

You are so lovely. This video is just what we all needed. Thank you for being you. And the balance of being minimal but also having the things you want and need.

[@BlaackStones]

Love love love your message about priorities. I’m inspired by what you do, but there is a lot that I don’t do right now because I have other priorities. But I love seeing someone doing life differently so that I can be inspired to do it one day, or to do it my way. Thank you for this ❤️

[@BitsOfThisNThat]

Just what I needed today. A dose of Sarah, and a reminder of the Lord's word. I feel so much better.🤗

I know that low lighting at the end of the day is intentional! So much of what you do is carefully intentional- that’s something I really admire & aspire to

[@blairchetram2449]

I may have been brought to tears when you mentioned where our strength comes from. Amen! It can be easy to get sucked into a mindset that "i deserve more free time" or "i do so much for my family." In reality I feel ive been called to serve my family as a humble wife/mom. Constantly learning and growing in Christ alongside my little family.

[@emilybrown599]

So convicting about being a good steward of the things you have already...you're inspiring me to clean my fridge out tomorrow ❤

[@katelynhendricks9550]

This video is absolutely beautiful & peaceful & freeing. Thank you! I am in the process of minimizing & feel fairly overwhelmed, but I need it for my sanity. I just want to have so much to constantly take care of anymore.

[@Lsuzieb]

Oh my goodness...I just stumbled upon your channel yesterday, and I have to say it's already one of the most artistic, encouraging, and peaceful channels I've ever watched. I'm a relatively new mom of two babies (1 1/2 years old and 6 months). I often feel so discouraged and exhausted. I loved the reminder to turn to God for strength! Just watching your videos reinspires me to be the warmest, kindest mom and wife that I can possibly be. Thank you for putting out such lovely content!

[@Dairyfreeginger]

I do appreciate that you don’t put your kids on social media. I may like a given creators content but then they end up filming their kids all the time and I hate that. You are protecting their privacy.

[@bostelmanfamily]

Excellent advice. I always love the calming effect of your videos too. 😊

[@veronicaeulenberg6612]

Your videos are so inspiring! When I'm feeling stressed, I find putting my things in order helps put my mind at ease.

[@fernautilus9863]

Love how you encourage empathetically without de-emphasizing the gravity of the task of motherhood. Just because it is hard doesn't mean we should always lower our standards-- we should keep trying to rise to the challenge! It seems to me very similar to being a Christian. I fail over and over, but faith is in getting back up and continuously trying to bear the fruit of the spirit, relying on and using God's grace to pull myself up and not fall into despair.

[@Abeautifulmundanelife]

Thanks for sharing! Now to sit to think through my priorities and habits that need to be added or changed to reflect that. ❤

After completely my exercise bike workout of ten miles with partially watching your video (at the end of my workout), I now feel like doing some cleaning (which I love doing anyway). I always love how you organize your homeschooling things, because I know so many overstuffed homeschooling families and they don't have to have all that they have (as someone who has homeschooled children herself).

Verses mentioned: Psalm 138 & 139. I watched this vid a few days ago and kept thinking back to these verses but couldn’t remember where to find them! Planning to write them down and commit to memory ❤️ How OFTEN do we as moms feel overwhelmed. M is for Mama says that the mother is the “emotional thermostat” for the house. These go together so well. It’s a heavy burden to carry - but we don’t have to carry it alone!

[@nickischroeder6048]

Loved this video! I really loved that you had a whole point dedicated to reminding or even telling women their strength comes from the Lord. So many need to hear this even for the first time but also a reminder to those of us who’ve already known it to be true. Looking forward to this week between Christmas and new years to reflect and pray for guidance from the Lord into this new year of 2025 ❤ God bless you and your family!

Sarah, you’re such a blessing and so fun to watch. I’m a mom of two currently living in a mountainous area in the DR and one of the things that I thank God for is bringing my family out here.

[@theheardhomestead]

My cycle affects me the same way. I plan my productivity around the high energy days and I let my husband know when my days of death are coming 😂. I then have no cleaning, no cooking days. That lasts about 4-5 days. Then at the end of my cycle I’m coming back to life. And I have no guilt about that.

[@peacecourage5011]

That's called self-care, good on you!

[@cassandraedwards3715]

Sarah!! You wonderful woman of God and Momma, can you please make a video teaching me how to plan ? 😅 I love the way you lead as a mother and homemaker and wife. I learn so much from each of your videos, but I feel like I’m still at a loss in this one place, but so much of what you do is so helpful and aligns with where I’m at, I feel like if I could fully understand how you plan then I could try it myself and make a missing piece “click” finally. Do you plan every cleaning task in your home aside from automated ones you do daily like kitchen clean up and laundry and tidying? Or do you just do them when they look like they need cleaning? I’ve been trying to clean things every few days whether they look dirty or not and it’s definitely helping keep those things light, but then I feel like I’m just doing the same things every day and I’m not getting to the other stuff that matters and I’m getting lost in that 😅

Are your jeans comfortable to wear all day? Could you link them please! I couldn’t fathom wearing my jeans all day at home but maybe I just need a better pair. So cute.

[@BarnAndBeach]

I used to wear jeans all the time. But after kids, something happened. My body doesn’t do well with a lot of waistbands. I have one pair of jeans that are pretty comfortable, but still not comfortable enough to wear all day while I’m swirling around the house. I decided to let the notion go of wearing jeans. They’re not serving me right now. Maybe later on in years, but not right now.

If my kid did not go to school and I had no animals, with both of us not having to work from the office I would spend like at least 50% of time travelling. Getting to know different cultures and different people and the wonders of this planet is the best education one can give to the child in my opinion.

I love the fact that you don't show your kids anymore. ❤ I am very curious to know if you adopted children or did you birth a few more, even if I know it's a private issue. I have birthed three kids and I feel like my body couldn't do it more. 🙈 So that's why I am curious how other women do it.
