"Not every space was meant to be filled." Such a simple concept and yet it flies in the face of the whole North American mindset. If I might steal your idea, I think I will make it my motto for 2022. It will help with my decluttering.

That little hug.... that's the things I cherish 😍🥰 thank you for reminding us to be content with the little things. I remember one summer night sitting by the fire and making smores(from the dollar tree)and my 2 daughters laughing and being so happy, then my oldest looks at us and says, I love moments like these, that was so special to hear from my 15yr old❤.

Never lose a sock: fasten your socks together with a safety pin just below the top on the inside. Your socks go to your drawer & through the laundry together. They are only separated while on your feet with the safety pin tucked safely inside your sock. Works like a charm!

Hi Kaden (and Kate)! Hot chocolate is the best!

[shawnajeree]

Thank you for this! I’m focusing on decluttering and not bringing new items in. I’m planning to do a no buy year 😬

[conniemcintyre]

Good morning beautiful Kate!! The one main area that I am concentrating on in the new year is food. I need to cut down my grocery bill. It’s just my husband and me but I buy food like we are a family of six. Ugh. If I buy less, I will spend less and also hopefully eat less!! A win-win!!
Finding contentment and inner peace should be everyone’s goal. I work on this daily. It really is the simple things in life that bring the most joy! God Bless! 😘🙏

Contentment is so liberating! We bought a house that was a fixer-upper and I spent the whole first year we lived here feeling defeated and sad. We had the money to start the reno, but instead of the original plan we had to replace the furnace, air conditioner, water heater and a transmission in a 3 week period! I had to learn to be content with the process. Loved this video, great job!

[sussannerandall]

I am really trying to take inventory of what I already have - in all areas. I also want to be frugal in my use of shampoo, toothpaste etc I want to get a firm understanding of how much I use in a year and how much I spend on things like gas and groceries. It will be a year of TRACKING

[homemakingwithdenise]

I’m going to focus on Swedish Death Cleaning for the new year. I want to purge at least 50% of our “stuff.” Less clutter. More life.

[pigletsbank]

I will keep on planning a small treat in my budget every week. A tasty modest bit of fish or meat or some chocolate 😃, I could do without but I makes my life more fun and want to ENJOY, even on a budget. 😉

[kimberlyheinz]

I have realized I do not need anything as far as clothes, shoes, jewelry and purses. I am planning doing a no buy for 2022 for this categories and plan to make a video series regarding it. I am reading the Year of Less to prepare. I am kind of excited!

[diannecorbett]

❤️ looking at empty clear space. It gives me a sense of peace. Thanks for the great tips.

LOVE this content, Kate. Just recently I had the thought, 'you tolerate'. I looked up it's meaning, and in it, it said 'without interference'. Wow! I immediately began trying to scrutinize my thoughts to identify and stop tolerating discontentment, grumbling, being not appreciative of what I have...and to keep my housework up to date, gladly. Hearing you this morning, I feel it goes hand in hand. Bless you bunches, you always calm me. Kisses to Buns.

Our year ahead is about health, I want to drink 64ounces of water and walk 20 minutes daily. I decided to reward myself with $1.00 for every day I accomplish this and place it into my vacation fund savings (shopping on vacation is a win-win for me). My second goal is to go through 1 room a month, spring cleaning/Declutter…! We are debt free now and saving for deduction on insurance fund.

Also a grateful frugal minimalist in training. This year I am focusing on using the food in the pantry I already have. I generally plan meals by looking in the fridge and freezer and maybe use a can of vegetables or a box of Velveeta. But this year I am digging deep and using all the items or donating somewhere. It really is silly to keep buying food knowing we probably have enough for a month or two. Honestly I need to take inventory and start planning. I am new to your channel and love your content.

[grandmafreeman]

Kate, I'm focusing on health, and it's top on my New Year Resolutions list. Also, I'm still trying to eat down food which was stockpiled last fall. Last month, my grocery budget was almost half of what was budgeted. By March, I plan to be most careful about my menu plans and spend about $10 on meat and $10 on fruit and vegetables each week. I too am trying to use up what I already have, wear what I have and sew anything else needed for my wardrobe.

[cindymikels]

Hi Kate! This certainly hit home for me! My husband says if there's a flat space in our home, I'll fill it with something. 🤦‍♀️ I'm really trying to change that habit!

[jackiefields]

Love the suggestion to use products up completely. After you’ve used all the product that you can get out of a tube, cut the tube and get many more uses! The cut-off end can be used as a cap.

[jillgossling]

Thank you so much Kate … you work so hard for us … it’s very much appreciated 💕

[luckyone]

Your son is most precious! And you are an awesome mom 👍
Great content btw
