About

Minimalism gave me back my time, my peace…and my kitchen counters. If you’ve ever felt buried under clutter, overwhelmed by your home, or just tired of managing so much stuff, you’re in the right place. I’m Dawn—mom of four (ages 10–15), living outside the Twin Cities in MN. 10 years ago, I embraced family minimalism, purged 85% of our stuff, and never looked back. I don’t miss any of the extra stuff… not one bit—and I keep letting go of more every year. Here, you’ll find practical tips, honest encouragement, and simple strategies to help you finally declutter your home—fast. I believe your home should support you, not drain you, and I’ll show you how to get there without overthinking or spending months sorting every item. Life’s too short to be overwhelmed by your stuff—let’s clear the clutter and make space for what you love.
