When I first felt the urge to start simplifying my life, I naturally turned to Google.  I discovered a few blogs and quickly realized there is a whole group of people writing about the same thing that I was just thinking at the time.

One of the first blogs I found was Be More With Less, written by Courtney Carver.  If you have been interested in simplicity and minimalism for any length of time, I am sure you have seen Courtney!  I remember getting completely absorbed in her writing and trying to soak up as much of her knowledge as I could!  Let me tell you she has a ton of posts!

The blogs that I initially started following have introduced me to so many more people that are working to spread the message about living a simplified and more intentional life.  Since I started this blog I have also met (virtually of course!) some amazing people in this space!

One of the things I love about blogging is that there is room for everyone.  Each new blogger and writer has his or her own perspective and story to share.

I am excited to announce a new series on i Dream of Simple!  I will highlight some of the simplicity blogs I have discovered and enjoy reading!  There will be a mix of new and established blogs since each phase of the journey is unique. I will share a few blogs at a time so that you can really soak up the goodness that each person has to offer.

My hope is that these roundups will help strengthen this amazing community of like-minded people striving to live with less and live with intention.

Here is the first Simplicity Blogs Roundup!  I hope you enjoy!

I love that the tagline for this blog is “Simple Solutions for Thriving in Motherhood.”  I think we all want to thrive in motherhood!  Denaye’s professional background and calming personality make her a natural at teaching overwhelmed moms and dads how to simplify life with kiddos.  She has a podcast, blog full of fantastic articles and a course about decluttering the toys that I highly recommend.

Do you have your own simplicity story to share?

If you are a writer (or would like to be one!) and want to share your own experience with simplicity and minimalism, I encourage you to start your own blog!  It’s not as difficult as it seems and there are tools that make it pretty easy and inexpensive to get started.

I recommend checking out this blogging course if you are interested in starting your own blog.  It was invaluable in helping me get my blog up and running!  You can also download the FREE Blog Plan course from the same teacher if you just want to get your feet wet.  She really is the best for newbies!
