Simple Holiday Prep

If you are striving to simplify the holidays this year, take a listen to my chat with three of my favorite minimalist mamas, Erica Layne from The Life on Purpose Movement, Zoë Kim from Raising Simple, and Rachelle Crawford from Abundant Life with Less.



Between the four of us, we have 12 kids under age 14. But we carved time out to grab a virtual coffee (or tea) as we talked about simplifying all things holiday prep: decorations, traditions, gifts, the calendar, and holiday cards. You can listen to our chat on the podcast or watch the video of our conversation.

Full Episode Transcription
Denaye:Hi, this is Denaye. I’m the founder of Simple Families. Simple Families is an online community for parents who are seeking a simpler, more intentional life. In this show, we focus on minimalism with kids, positive parenting, family wellness, and decreasing the mental load. My perspectives are based in my firsthand experience raising kids, but also rooted in my PhD in child development. So you’re going to hear conversations that are based in research, but more importantly, real life. Thanks for joining us.
Hello, it’s episode 179, and today I have not one, not two, but three guests. Three of my favorite minimalist moms, and we’re talking about pre-holiday preparation because the rest of the world is very much ready for the holidays. I’m not sure if I am, but when I look around I’m seeing it everywhere.
I invited three of my favorite minimalist mom friends, Erica Layne from The Life on Purpose Movement, Rachelle Crawford from Abundant Life With Less and Zoe Kim from Raising Simple. We are joining together in a conversation about how we handle simplifying the holidays.
The bonus is that this week there’s actually a video, so if you’d prefer to watch the video of our chat, you can go to simplefamilies.com/episode179 and you can watch the video right there in the show notes.
