I'm here to deinfluence you as a toddler mom looking to own less. The easiest way to pursue minimalism is to stop the constant flow of items coming in. 

Today I'm sharing 10 things I no longer buy for my toddlers and myself along with my simple approach to kids clothes & accessories, household products, beauty products, hobby supplies, technology, furniture and more! I’ll walk you through the everyday items I’ve chosen to skip and why.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by clutter, decision fatigue, or the pressure to “keep up,” this episode will encourage you to rethink what you really need. You’ll hear how owning less has brought more peace, saved money, and helped me focus on what truly matters in motherhood.

Let this episode inspire you to embrace simplicity, cut through the noise, and make room for what matters most.
