Join me today as I speak with creator of The Minimal Colonial, Catherine Williams. Catherine is the mother of a three year old boy and military spouse to an Air Force pilot. Catherine believes it's important to create a home where your soul finds peace, and that begins with decluttering your heart in order to declutter your home. Today, Catherine will share her experience with minimalism and parenting an only child. Is it really that different? I wasn't sure so I thought she would be a great person to dialogue with regarding this topic. We also talked a lot about solo parenting (as she has experienced a lot of time alone while her husband has been deployed) and how to navigate overwhelm and apply minimalist principles to your day-to-day.Show Notes for EP139: Solo Systems for an Only Child MamaEnjoy this Podcast?Learning how you can get rid of clutter and live an intentional and purposeful life has never been this simple.

Quick note: I recorded this episode back in February 2020. I have a noticeable cold that I remark on in the beginning of my conversation. A lot of my episodes are recorded months before they drop so I apologize for any confusion or mentions of it being winter at the release date (July 2020.)----This week, I bring you my conversation with author, Autumn McKay. In 2016, Autumn created her blog, Best Mom Ideas where she began to share tips and tricks she learned throughout her own motherhood journey. The creation of this blog turned into the creation of her books, The Ultimate Toddler Activity Guide and The Ultimate Kindergarten Prep Guide. Today we’ll discuss the benefits of screen-free activities, ways to encourage independent play and how to minimize screen time in the day-to-day.I've also included ten of my go-to ways to avoid screens! It can be tough in extreme temperatures to know how to balance screen time with playtime so my hope is to give you a couple of suggestions you hadn't yet considered!Show Notes for EP128: Navigating Screen-Time Overload [+ Go-To Ways to Avoid Screens]Let’s keep the conversation going on Facebook or Instagram!And, don’t forget to leave a rating or review on iTunes.
