March 21, 2023 I'm an accidental minimalist. In 2001, I was medically discharged from the military because I had asthma induced allergies and was allergic to, well, just about everything. Apparently, traveling to so many new places had jarred my immune system and tipped me over the edge--or that was how a doctor explained to … Continue reading How Minimalism Helped My Allergies and Asthma

Our Must Do’s While Traveling
December 7, 2022 Travelers have different approaches to how they plan what they will do on their excursions, however long or short they may be.

Dealing with Laundry in RV Life
November 2, 2022 The large capacity machines cost more, but fit a week of clothes for 3 into one machine, and a week of towels and bedclothes into a second machine I have always hated doing laundry, which is ironic, since I love everything clean--especially clean sheets to sleep on. I'll admit, the night before … Continue reading Dealing with Laundry in RV Life

Camping Without Gear – Campground Cabins and Tiny Homes

Making the Most of Your Mother’s Day – Taking A Page From Minimalism
May 6, 2022 Since embracing a minimalist lifestyle, I have cut way back on what I do for the "hallmark holidays" and focus on the meaning of days. Mother's Day is one of them. Sure, I love to be taken to dinner, get cute crafts, or a spa day gift certificate as much as the … Continue reading Making the Most of Your Mother’s Day – Taking A Page From Minimalism
Prepper vs. Minimalist – The Internal Struggle is Real
April 19, 2022 I've been on my minimalism journey for about 7 years now. I stumbled upon it by pure accident. I have a severe dust allergy and struggled managing it.
