Thanks to Ivory for sponsoring this blog post. #IvorySoap
Almost two years ago, my husband and I decided that we wanted to simplify our lives and spend more time together as a family.
In order to do that, we made some pretty radical decisions like moving out of our home, selling many of our possessions, buying an RV, and heading to Florida for a fun adventure that brought ourΒ family closer together in so many ways! We lived simply and focused on the important things in life like talking to our kids and teaching them life lessons that’ll help them succeed.
Today, we no longer live in an RVΒ but living that way for the time we did made us realize that when we went back to living in a “regular” home, we still wanted to live simply and small.
So when we went searching for the right home for our family to purchase, we decided on a 1265Β sq. foot home for our family of seven. And guess what? We love it!
The simple life is for us all the way. Plus, living in a small home (just like living in a tiny RV) means that I have less to clean, less clutter, and less money flying out of my pocket because living simply costs less.
More Practical Ways I Simplify Life
Other ways I choose to live simply have to do with my wardrobe, meals, and household products. Basically, I keep a minimal capsule wardrobe, feed my family tasty yet easy-to-prepare meals, and choose household products that are good for my whole family.
Ivory Soap
One product, in particular, that I love is Ivory soap. We use both Ivory bar soap and body wash that are free of dyes and heavy perfumes because they’re gentle and pure enough for everyone in my family to use.
DID YOU KNOW? Ivory has been making soap for over 130 years and continues to use only pure and purposeful ingredients in their products.
So while their packaging is new, sophisticated, and cute, their product remains the same.
Another thing I love about Ivory is that they get my desire to simplify life.
They understand that my family and so many others want to spend more time focusing on the important things in life, so they create products that give us peace of mind and allow us to pay more attention to what matters most.
Those are some ways I simplify life.

I just started using a capsule wardrobe myself and love how easy it is! No more worrying about what to wear…everything coordinates and saves me so much time. Plus, I look a lot better too!
Hi, Erin! I love having a capsule wardrobe, too! It simplifies life and makes getting ready in the morning so much easier. I hope you have a great week! π
We make simple meals at our house too. We live in a smaller home and try to use up what we have instead of buying more things. The less you have the easier it is to take care of it too.
That’s so true, Shelly! π I’m being very careful about the things we buy and bring into our home so we’re not just adding clutter all the time.
