The Minimalist<\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

When I first began looking into minimalism, I was desperate for a change in my household. I had two small children, toys were everywhere, and I felt like all I did was keep everyone\u2019s mouths fed and the house somewhat presentable.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was totally exhausted. We didn\u2019t have a large home and in my mind, that was part of the problem. I thought we needed more space.<\/span><\/p>\n

I would see quotes about leaving the house a mess for quality time with your children and felt guilty. While I left countless messes to read about Brer Rabbit for the thousandth time, I still had a mess afterwards instead of some downtime for me, time with my husband or time to pursue the passions in my heart.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top” css=”.vc_custom_1678307612480{margin-right: 50px !important;margin-left: 50px !important;}”]\"\"[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1538425874571{padding-top: 220px !important;padding-bottom: 150px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text][ve_tweets twitter_username=”visualmodo” tweets_number=”10″][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
