#109: Frugality vs Minimalism - How To Find A Balance
10/23/17 • 12 min
Today we look at a popular notion that I've seen many times in the field of home organizing and simple living. It's the idea that frugality and minimalism go hand in hand... I have to say I've seen these two terms tossed around together quite often.
The truth is, while there can be a little overlap and these two terms can in some ways be combined, their meanings are very different. On our quest to find simplicity in our lives, it is so important to understand the difference between these two concepts and how they can actually at times either complement each other or clash.

#108: Real Fast, Real Food Meals
For today's quick and brief episode we're going to talk about healthy eating. More specifically, I'm going to give you some really easy, real food meal ideas.
Yes, real food. It’s a term that’s tossed around a lot these days. But what exactly is “real food”? While there is no official definition for the term, after looking around on a few real food blogs I found that there is a general consensus for what it means.
Real food is wholesome and nourishing. It is simple, whole food. Pure and unadulterated, sustained yet unchanged by man.
It's food made simple. It's clean eating.
Sometime in the next few months we'll plan on having a longer full length episode on the topic of real food. But for now, on today's episode I give you some quick and easy meal ideas that involve real food in the microwave... because when it comes to cooking, how much quicker can you get?!?

#110: Schedule Time To Be Unscheduled
For many of us, daily life – as I’m sure you’ve noticed – has become an endless, exhausting to-do list.
For me, when I see open time in my calendar it means opportunity... opportunity to do more. But, if I'm not careful, openness that turns into opportunity results in overwhelm.
On today's episode we look at the importance of scheduling unscheduled time.
