This makes complete sense. I’m so happy to hear about other people taking the concept into their own hands so that is suits them. I’ll keep this in mind if I ever have the attention of settling down and having a family. Right now I live a hybrid lifestyle of yours and those who have everything in a backpack. It’s all about how well the lifestyle fits you and making life count where it really matters.

your blog has helped me so much! we are on similar paths. alot of minimalist blogs are written by single people, so yours is great for me since i have kids. i live in 1000 square feet with 3 kids, 4 dogs and a husband. there is just no room in our house or our lives for extras. i keep paring back more and more and i become more and more happy with our home and home life.

I am very happy to have found your blog. We are also striving to live very simply and have found that to live simply does mean to live without.
I have book marked your blog and look forward to reading more.Warm wishes,

Great post – this is very similar to what I am striving for. I think minimalism is different for everyone, since everyone has different requirements for happiness. I think it is very important that no matter how one defines minimalism, it must make us happy.

Wonderful post! This is the philosophy that my husband and I have. We have endeavored to live our lives for years and years, not out of a backpack, but in a home smaller than we could afford and with less clutter than most people in the Western world accumulate. Raising four children, we needed roots and community. As I’ve surfed the web for inspiration and like minded friends, I’ve read a lot about lives that don’t match ours. Yours does. Thanks!
