Welcome to Litsy!

1. The clothes, toys, beds/blankets and other items from my pets who have passed away
2. Electronics. If they work, I don't get rid of them just so I can buy the newest technology
3. Clothes. I will wear them until they start to get holey or ratty tatty. I also don't get rid of clothes just so I can be the newest trends

I‘m learning to make more space in my life for what I love most: family and reading! Excited to join Litsy and meet some like minded readers! #minimalisthome #maximalistreader My new journaling practice has helped me hone in on favorites like books about books, women‘s struggles, hopeful books, strong characters and average pacing! #newmember #joyousjanuary

I've clocked about 10 hours in the #20in4 readathon and finished 2 audiobooks. I spent much of this weekend cleaning my house and actively utilizing some of Joshua Becker's tips on minimalizing my home. @Andrew65

I really enjoyed this book, yes it is very detailed, some reviewers say it is too detailed but I quite like how detailed it is as a beginner to the whole minimalist lifestyle. This book has helped get me excited to start decluttering my home and given me ways to look at my current belongings with a more minimalist mindset. It has already inspired me to donate 100 books put of my book collection to a school fundraiser!

I finished this AND I‘m off to donate a trunk full of stuff! I like that he doesn‘t feel you should live with just 1 plate per person. He gives inspiration to go room by room and suggests things you should keep and things that are just cluttering your life. Next weekend I‘m tackling the bathrooms. It‘s amazing how much crap gets shoved in the cabinets under the sink and I‘m sure my daughter doesn‘t need all 70 colors of nail polish she owns 😂

Hmm. This one leans towards a pan. While it did have some good tips, there are lots of better books out there about minimalizing your home, including Becker‘s first book, The More of Less. This one was repetitive and pretty condescending.

It was ok.

Loved this book. My husband and I are moving soon and it was very helpful.

I liked this much more than Becker‘s first book. Not as preachy. I also like that it focuses on minimalism that is practical and makes life better, not just having less stuff to have less stuff. “A home that is filled with only the things that you use and love will be a home that you love to use.”

Honestly, I could give or take this book. It was a helpful guide for minimalizing room by room, but it got a little repetitive for me.

Quick read how to purge your home room by room. Good tips and motivation to reduce the material possessions you own and a strong argument for the quality of life that will result when this is done. Unfortunately, the book doesn‘t do it for you😜.

Does this align with my purposes? Is it so useful that I have to keep it, so beautiful that I can‘t live without it, or so personally meaningful it has to stay with me? #minimalism

I don‘t ever post about non-fiction reads on here but I‘m particularly excited about this one 🤗 Pre-ordered and it showed up the same day we got back from vacation. ❤️

I requested this book from NetGalley in the hopes that it would motivate me to finally do something about all this stuff. While some of the book and the minimalist movement is not for me, some of it was incredibly helpful and motivating. Full review here http://tinyurl.com/ybfv54wh #73of2018

"A home that is filled with only the things you use and love will be a home that you love to use"

“ A home that is filled with only the things you use and love will be a home that you love to use.” 🏡 I‘m reading #TheMinimalistHome and I really liked this quote. Trying to reduce the crap in our house! #EpicGarageSale
