After a trip without the RV, we wondered if RV life stunted our minimalist habits. Here’s some of our top reminders, for us, and to you!
All my life, the practice has been to declutter before the holidays, then deep clean before the new year, as we pack up Christmas and before the holiday wraps up and we are back to work and school. In various formats, this is a practice across many cultures to keep from bringing old habits, or even bad luck, into the new year.
Weather is changing, which means the holiday season is near. As an RVer, this could be a time of dread since space is limited. Here are some ideas and printables to create gift idea lists, or share this blog with friends and family as a guide!
May 9, 2023 May is always a hectic time of year for our family as we wrap up our son’s school year and complete state testing, as well as my own since I am a teacher. Even though I teach year round, many students are trying to finish before summer, while several are starting my…

March 21, 2023 I’m an accidental minimalist. In 2001, I was medically discharged from the military because I had asthma induced allergies and was allergic to, well, just about everything. Apparently, traveling to so many new places had jarred my immune system and tipped me over the edge–or that was how a doctor explained to…
December 16, 2022 On this eve of winter break, my thoughts are turning to New Years and the resolutions and habits I want to change, start or stop. I like to use breaks as a chance to change these habits and establish routines for when I go back to work. One of the things I…
December 7, 2022 Travelers have different approaches to how they plan what they will do on their excursions, however long or short they may be. I used to be a “squeeze it all in” kind of traveler, but found myself both exhausted and broke. When we set out into the RV life, we heard one…
November 2, 2022 I have always hated doing laundry, which is ironic, since I love everything clean–especially clean sheets to sleep on.
