Wow! What a fantastic list of blogs…I’m going to have trouble deciding!
365 Less Things – Colleen Madsen!
That’s my vote!
Thanks Jane.
Hi Tohami
…it is an honor for my blog SMART Living 365 to be nominated in your list of blogs! Of course one of the things I do to keep my life simple and stress free is to not get caught up in competition (at least not too much!) Thanks for the opportunity to share with the other great blogs you list about getting the word out about everyday ways we can all make a difference……Kathy
While I love the sentiment of this post and am so honored to be included, I know that my blog wouldn’t be what it is without everyone else on the list and many more writers that are spreading the message of simplicity with awesome recommendations and by sharing my work.
We are all in this together.
I’m a rule breaker at heart so I vote for everyone on the list and also for Midway Simplicity for demonstrating that there is hope and joy and love in a simpler life.
xo,
Courtney
Thanks for nominating Value of Simple Tohami! I’m going to be the anti-Courtney for a change and abstain from voting. I’d love to highlight my favorite blogs from the current list and the additions in the comments so far, but picking just the top one is impossible.
I don’t feel like as much of a rebel as Courtney though.
as long as you guys are giving away your votes, I’ll take them. I love to win!!!
I love all the blogs, but I must vote for Slow Your Home – Brooke McAlary because this was my most recent discovery and I really love it!
The blog I’d choose isn’t on the list – it’s Dave Bruno’s blog http://guynameddave.com/
Awesome writing over there.
Annienygma!

365 Less Things – Colleen Madsen. Following this blog has changed my whole mindset about “stuff”.
I would like to nominate Loving Simple Living by Lorilee Lippincott
The Minimalists
They are the first blog that helped to understand I was already a minimalist, and guided me with fantastic tools to get my life in order, and definitely helped me to get out of debt
I will vote for http://www.365lessthings.com – Colleen, it has helped me very much and it is a great blog!
365 Less Things – Colleen Madsen
Colleen gives very practical ways to declutter
Colleen Madsen at 365 Less Things gets my vote. My home looks great now that I’ve followed her daily decluttering advice.
Colleen Madsen at 365 Less Things
Her blog inspired me to release 767 things (or bags of things) and still counting. Love her straight forward advice and great writing. I read her blog every day.
Colleen at 365lessthings.com – she was by far the biggest influence on my way to decluttering, simple living, green living and minimalism…
It’s so difficult to choose only one!
But vote goes to Becoming Minimalist http://www.becomingminimalist.com/
My vote is Annie brewer
Everyday I look forward to my daily dose of 365lessthings.com. Love the tips and tricks that everyone uses and shares. I think the sharing part is so helpful. Cheers
I vote for Colleen and her 365 Less Things, I love this blog!
My vote goes to 365 Less Things. Colleen gives inspirational tips and shares fresh perspectives on how to approach decluttering for every day of the week.
Collen Madsen’s blog http://www.365lessthings.com
1.Be More With Less – Courtney Carver
I cut and paste all my favourite blog content into a sort of ongoing ‘inspiration’ log…and I seem to cut and paste the most from Courtney and so she gets my vote!!
I have to vote for 365 less things by Colleen Madsen. Without a doubt this blog has helped inspire me tremendously since I have found it this year.
She is down to earth, no nonesence, and tells it like it is….
As one who reads Simplicity Blogs, and does not have one, my vote is for Josh and Ryan at theminimalists.com
Why? Not only do they live the life, and show you how, their blog itself is simple. Getting to, and living a simple life is not all about the clutter. That part, I have learned is easy. Staying the course, and learning to simplify the rest of life is where the average folks need help. Although I know I could never live with only 100 things, they have helped me learn so many ways to simplify my life….relationships, community service, computer time, etc.
I believe many simplicity bloggers write more for other simplicity bloggers. I understand bloggers want to make money from their blogs, but some simplicity blogs are so darn overwhelming with ads and gadgets, that I just leave. Please do not make me move through your simplicity blog as if I am moving through a maze.
Thanks Mohamed, for giving me the opportunity to vote. I am working through your 30 Simplicity Challenge, and am enjoying it immensely.
blessings, jill
From this list of excellent blogs, I nominate http://www.annienygma.com. Annie’s blog is honest and intelligent, and shows that one doesn’t have to start out with a lot of money to become a minimalist. She has inspired me on countless occassions.
I have to add that if I could vote for two blogs, I would split the vote between Annie at annienygma and Colleen at 365Things. So much inspiration, humor and good information!
My vote is for Simple Productivity Blog: http://www.simpleproductivityblog.com/
365 less things. It’s a great site with a ton of ideas on how to get rid of a ton of stuff at your own pace

inspiring in a way that is always compelling and interesting. Colleen, Cindy &
her commenters have the best energy, commitment, down-to-earth practicality and, well,
compassionate support ever! Thank you to all and, as another voter mentioned, her
blog is how we became aware of your blog! It’s great to know there is such an excellent
simplifying and decluttering culture available no matter where we may be located.
Thank you!
I vote for Miriam Ortiz Y Pino; More than Organized
http://www.365lessthings.com – you’d be surprised how many of my friends I’ve sent there and how transforming we’ve found it. Even those of us who don’t manage to get rid of 1 thing a day are constantly inspired to at least do something regularly to simplify our lives.
A big thanks to Colleen!

I vote for More than Organizied It has helped so much in my day to day work and in my home!! Wonderful blog!! Good luck!!
Throwing in my vote for Annie Brewer. She is the real deal
I think that Mirian Ortiz y Pino’s “More Than Organized” website and blog are the best I have experienced. Her effective, practical guides, videos and cd’s to getting organized, reducing clutter and living a more stress-free life are so valuable in our frenzied, fast-forward culture. Adaptable to both personal and professional settings, Miriam’s easy to use and implement strategies have made my life so much simplier and enjoyable. I heartily recommend the “More Than Organized” products to anyone seeking practical guidance and help in a user-friendly format at very attractive rates. Miriam’s total approach to becoming more organized and more productive is proven winner!
This is a great list of sites, but Becoming Minimalist is by far my favorite. Extremely well written. Joshua Becker is awesome!
I am voting for Becoming Minimalist!

The Minimalists. They’ve taught me so much, plus they’re local Dayton, OH guys!
I loved Miriam Ortiz y Pino blog, with concrete and practical solutions, especially for someone like me, who needed 15 minutes to find out the way to vote in this blog (I have to say that it was a bit complicated for a blog devoted on simplicity).
365 less Colleen Madsen An encourager to all.
My vote today is for Annie Jean Brewer’s blog which can be found at: http://annienygma.com/
