Last week, we discussed the first part of Danaye Barahona's Book, Simple, Happy Parenting. She is the founder of Simple Families, an online community dedicated to minimalism with families and lessening the parenting load. You can read more of her blogs and listen to her podcast here. Our discussion started with a time of reflection and mental map creation in which we drew out our floor plans and thought about the layout, the stress, and the stuff. We continued our discussion with a brainstorm of the benefits and challenges of home simplification. Benefits of Simplifying

Our discussion also lead us to talking about simplifying the calendar (post to come) and getting outside regardless of weather. See my post here about how to dress babies and young ones for the outdoors. Some additional resources and books on getting outside regardless of weather: The photos below show how Scandinavian kids have been and continue to be outside in the cold.
