#6 hit home for me!!

Thank you so much for this video ❤ I’m 13 weeks and this is my first little one, so much going through my mind and this helps a TON !! 😊

I loved this so much. I transitioned to working from home when I was pregnant with my baby girl. It was a hard transition for me and something I continue to work on. Summers are extra hard with my 3 step kids home from school and my husband working night shift, however I am growing so much with God and learning to lean into the fruits of the spirit to help me keep my peace and focus. I was encouraged by your last video about things that can improve your life, as I am feeling the need for a revival of my marriage. We have changed so much in our marriage from having a kiddo, to changing jobs multiples times, to just growing as humans. More advice in this area would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for being YOU! *** Also, favorite drink--Kombucha GTs or Dandelion Root Tea with Honey or Strawberry Mule Mocktail, Favorite Snack--Sweet Potato Nachos, Favorite Meal--Crispy Brussels Sprouts from Lilys in Boone and Vegan Chicken Salad from Earthfare.

Loved this video! I LOVE almost every video of yours😅 Thank you Margaret❤🙏

Do you think that the stress is less now that the kids are a bit older? And also I have felt that social media is one of the reasons I am kind of stressed because it always feels like I can do more looking at all those other parents. Like I am never satisfied with my progress.

Our apartments look soooo similar haha

Idk why you remind me of Shailienne Woodley! Anyway, love your content! ❤

This is very inspiring, thank you. I have so many pretty dresses that I don't wear. I am going to start today. 🌻

I’ve followed you for a while but wow. God has used your last couple videos to just hold my heart with the words you are speaking. I’m so grateful for the way your videos speak into motherhood for me and where I’m at.

🤍🤍🤍

Thank you for sharing ❤ some days are so hard. I’m going to listen to this over and over until I can take some of these lessons into my own life 🙌

I just love this so much. Will be binging all your videos … trying to get back into enjoying motherhood more, bringing the calm and slow days back, and I’m learning so much from you just from you sharing. Thank you so much ❤

When pregnant with my second child, we experienced an unusually hot summer. The only thing I could find to wear was a loose-fitting, thin, long length pinafore dress. It got worn and washed over and over. I had always worn jeans/trousers before. I was really surprised at how different I felt wearing a dress. Now wear dresses most of the time - so much more comfortable and versatile.

Thank you for this video Margaret ❤

I think something that would help me a lot would be a playroom tour, my boy loves anything outside but in this southern heat we need more ideas for great indoor toys

Question: how do you live with genuine gratitude and kindness without being rude when people give your children things you don’t want in your home? Toys, loud patterns/colors on clothes, etc.? Mine and my husband’s family sometimes think I’m boring or ungrateful, but I just want to embrace minimalism! Am I being controlling or intentionally?

I resonate so much with this <3 I have been that angry, stressed out, over-stimulated mom and still am some days. But the Lord is patiently working on my heart. And I pray daily that He would help me to really enjoy this role He has given me and step into a place of joy.

Thank you for this video! Very inspiring! I like to think im a minimalist, but i still ha e way too much clothes, kitchen gadgets, my kids have too many toys, and too many clothes , i need to minimize more!! Shop less, want less, and be more focused, less stressed. ❤

Thank you for being so vulnerable with your story. Most of what you shared sounds so much like me right now. I’ve been working so hard on decluttering. So excited to slowly start feeling like myself again, as the things that I can live without leave our house for good. Here’s to truly living and experiencing more freedom!🙌🏻❤

I wish RUclips was a thing when I was your age. I would’ve done motherhood so differently. You are such a blessing and I hope mothers listen to you. ❤️

People need to understand that being a minimalist means that you‘ll only own the things you really need, the ones that noticeably make you feel good and grateful, and the things you love. In a time where we easily say „I love it“ about anything, minimalism teaches us to distinguish between things that really are worth our time, energy and money and things that just stuff to us. And minimalism teaches us to value having less (but oftentimes better things in return), seeing less, being cluttered up less. As an auDHD ex-maximalist who thought she loved her maximalism - let me tell you that I didn‘t actually love the stuff. It robbed me of so much energy, actually gave me anxiety and cost much money as well. Only after getting rid of it all I realized that all of that stuff really did weigh me down

My motherhood mantras are “this too shall pass” and “not my task”. If you haven’t read “Hunt, Gather, Parent” I highly suggest it. Thanks for sharing your struggles.

Garden city is such a good book!

I wish see u in something see though would you be a rally good greind prive it

❤

10:09 “You are doing a great job.” You don’t know how much I needed to hear those simple words. Thank you 🤍

I love dresses and use them often, the only problem now is that after pregancy my thighs touch and I need to always wear shorts or my skin gets damaged in between the legs and I don't have shorts so need to buy some first 😂 2nd, it's hard to find dresses that are breastfeeding friendly, I have a 2 month old. 3rd, they are so unmodest, it's hard to find modest dresses. And 4th, they are so expensive if they are modest, cute and breastfeeding friendly and I don't have the budget so yeah 😂

Margaret ❤ I relate 💯 to the anger you talk about because I have it sadly-I absolutely LOVE this video of yours!!!!!!! THANK YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.

Hey Margaret is the decluttering thing happening today? I’m on the page but it’s not connecting or showing anything

Margaret, this video is so precious to my heart, as a mom to 6 blessings. It was thanks to minimalism that i was able to see clearly how I was telling myself I had to work but I was truly spending on unnecessary things and services instead of investing in my own labor

Thank you for another well timed and deeply relatable chat. Thank you so very much for sharing.

Wow, you just spoke to my heart and soul more than you know! As a fellow mama of 3 boys 5 years abd under... I'm in this anger stage and no me time and this truly helped shift my mindset. We are headed out for 3 days camping here in a few hours and this checked me really quick and reminded me the simple and keeping the stuff minimal and easy. Thank you, truly I appreciate you! I have been praying for more peace and calm and this is so needed!

This is such a useful video for me! Talk about timing! Currently pregnant with #3 and in the thick of first trimester nausea and exhaustion 😩! Such a good reminder to declutter and chill out! Would be curious to hear how you’re faith has helped improve your perspective and attitude on motherhood. I know some days only God and His Grace is getting me through…eager to hear another mama’s perspective on that!

I’m an old lady 😂 and not a mother but I love Margaret’s insight on simple living. Young people listen to her! It will change your life. I am doing it in my late 50’s and it is the way to live! Sometimes I just sit and watch the world go by and it’s wonderful!

You are such an inspiration to me. I’m not a mom yet but am trying to prepare myself mentally and physically and I’ve loved your videos for that.

Margaret, thank you for this video. Motherhood is not easy. I am just getting through some hard postpartum feelings. Something’s that have made a big difference for me are getting outside every single day, going for long walks, asking for help, and not worrying so much about perfection with my home, myself, and my children. It is still hard, I still have hard days, but I am finally feeling better! How do you and other moms find help spiritually when you are drained? I am struggling to feel like God is there helping me.

Thank you❤

I wholeheartedly loved this video! A quote I love and think I would offer to a friend as advice is "You are enough." Do It On A Dime started saying it after losing her brother to suicide and it has resonated with me. You're human Margaret, your home doesn't have to be spotless, you can have bad days, or even bad phases. It's helping you continue to grow and be better you every day! Eat some bread, get some sunshine and fresh air! Thank you for being my friend!

I would absolutely love to buy tour course, but because of the exchange rate (Dollars to Rands for South Africa), and our small budget I can't. I will gladly do your masterclass when it's up! You are such an inspiration! I pray our Father blesses you abundantly and exceedingly!

Struggled at about an 8-9/10 right now. Winter, discontent, baby teething and just. Not. Sleeping. 😢

Hi! Margaret, baking soda is good for everything! I have 3 good friends and an amazing gran, none of them live close to me. I often feel lonely for friendship and face-to-face kindred spirits!

I wear pretty much only skirts & dresses. Agree 💯% with everything you've said. I like the way they look on me better then pants. They are so much more comfortable. You feel cooler in the summer then wearing shorts. They are warmer then pants in the winter cuz you can wear leggings under them

If you love lavender mint you will love lavender chamomile. Ha no, we haven’t used or had a microwave in years. Fun fact though… I miss the apartment days because most of our marriage was spent in an apartment and now it’s the stress of getting home maintenance done and it’s pricey! But I know everyone has their reasons for wanting change. I know it’s easier to say other people’s opinions don’t matter but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t sting or sit for a minute. Loved this video 🎉

I never struggled with anger until the last five years or so. It has been mainly tied to my crumbling marriage and all the anxiety that goes along with that. I’ve found great peace in focusing on the Lord’s sovereignty, but I appreciate your practical tips here too.

Thanks I am so lonely I appreciate you

17 weeks pregnant. Only 19 years old and newly married. My husband and I got married and chose to have kids right away knowing that we were absolutely not ready for it but that no one ever really is ready and you just have to dive in and do it. People tried to say everything they could to scare us out of getting married and to scare us out of having kids this young, but we’ve found that marriage truly is the most beautiful and joyful thing, and I’m sure having a baby will end up being just as wonderful. I’m so excited for this little one!!

I feel more confident when I am wearing a dress as well. I just had a baby so I bought a bunch of dresses to wear this summer.

I love this, thank you! It took us two years to get pregnant and we’re so excited but everyone has been giving their opinion and some comments do sound scary! And I’ve been an infant nanny for years so definitely know more about infants than others, and still feel unprepared. Thanks for the tips!
