“She is a mom fighting for less.”
Megyn Scott-Hintz is pursuing simple living using a dangerous combination! She is an analytical planner to the max with an overwhelmingly wild imagination. This is not only dangerous, it is very strange.
Moreover, she is doing a very interesting thing on her blog Minimalist Mommi. She calls it the “Home Tour Series”.
She is videoing her house as a method for you to get inspired and see how “real” minimalists live. She wanted to show anyone interested how this one innate minimalist mom lives and deals with the non-minimalists residing alongside her.
Bottom line, she is REAL and HONEST with people.
Megyn is my guest for the 13th episode of The Midway Simplicity Show.
In this show, I invite simple living advocates to share with you a few mainstream tips to simplify the 5 most important areas of your life, which are: Time, Health, Things, Finances and Relationships.

Thank you very much Megyn for the useful tips that you shared with us in the 13th episode of The Midway Simplicity Show. Looking forward to having you again.
Thanks for another great link to a minimalist website along with an interesting video of how another person creates a more simple lifestyle–while being a mom. We all have such different perspectives on how to go about it–and it is very useful to see how others are doing it so that we can continue to be inspired. Because there are so many differences in style I actually wrote a post myself asking “Are you really a minimalist? –and five questions to help find out” on my one blog SMART Living 365. Check it out if interested and keep up the great work! http://smartliving365.com/?p=1375
Thank you so much Kathy for sharing this article. I love it. We definitely have different styles based on our different needs and values. But, I believe there are common themes (as highlighted in your questions) in any minimalist lifestyle.
Mahalo for another great show, Megyn and Mohamed. Just spent a little time over at Megyn’s blog. I love your honesty. You may enjoy reading about British architect, John Pawson. Talk about a minimalist. I first read an article in Martha Stewart Living about John years ago.
Looks interesting. I will check him out. Thanks Kimberley.
All I can say is wow, a mommy living a minimalist life. I couldn’t more with the fact that mental health is really the driving force behind sound phyiscal health. The mind-body connection is very real. I’m a fitness business owner and trainer – my philosophy is that that all physical goals, be it weight loss, or strength building, it all begins with the mindset. I find that when clients start putting their efforts in only the exercise and not on their thoughts their chances of sucess declines. That’s why we have yo-yo dieting and people jumping from fitness program to fitness program who are unhappy with their results. It’s not about will power but its about listening to the body and getting clear on what makes you happy – is it to look skinny or to gain more energy?
