hey guys welcome back to the rock light it's Emily here if you're new you can
check out our video right here we're a giant family of eight taking the journey
to becoming minimalist because well once upon a time there was a really hot guy
and then he found a girl and kissed her and then a whole lot of babies just came
pouring out and then they started accumulating a lot of crap and things
got real crazy today I'm excited to share with you we have the living room
done one room completely from chaos to minimalism and I'm going to show you the
before and after and all the hard work that went in between right after this
okay before we take the tour I'd love it for you guys to like and subscribe and
hit the little bell so you get notifications every time we put out a
new episode of minimalism parent or wisdom crazy kids who knows what you
don't want to miss out on the Ross life because we love live in life on purpose
so the kids had a few things to say about the past two weeks and our journey
into minimalism can you say minimalism
minimalism big importance what do you think minimalism is like getting rid of
stuff that you had for over ten years like in my mom's room son yeah that's
basically what I think minimum is getting rid of stuff and only having 14
pairs of clothes sucks but it asked me if I you guys just are scaring elysian
you guys didn't ask me if I was okay was getting rid of that getting rid of what
stuff but did you care yes really you hadn't touched on that stuff in five
years well so we're still learning working through things developing
children and anything is a process so two weeks in they're probably not gonna
be saying the things I want them to say because they haven't fully learned it
they haven't ingested it it's like me we're just learning
yeah that's right I'm in my mom shorts and my husband shirts not gonna lie man
I'm a mom and I'm proud of it
one big thing I've noticed is that my little two-year-old and what now four
year old happy birthday Elly is if I asked them to pick up the living room
now they can do it because there is no clutter whatsoever
so the only things that they see are the things that are out of place and those
are their toys and the task doesn't look daunting to little people anymore
it looks doable and so they go and they pick up the toys now and they put it in
the only toy box that when all the toys are put in there isn't overflowing so
there's a sense of achievement for them that yes I did it and then there's a
sense for achievement for me like yes my kids obeyed me it's amazing and I never
would have guessed that being a minimalist when I say that I mean having
less would heighten the internal things that we have that would it would be a
shortcut kind of a life hack to speeding up development of my kids because
they're not bogged down with so many other choices with other messes that I
don't want them to clean because I'm saying just pick up the toys
now when I say clean up they're literally just picking up their mess
it's it's clear I I can't even put it into words it's just profound how just
one room that's decluttered and I don't know I'll just shut up now
well guys thanks for being a part of the journey if you have any advice or tips
or any comments that you want I'd love to chat with you in the comments below

kids and living life on purpose we want to do that with you so come join our
