When she had 3 little kids and was at the end of her rope, Miranda Anderson (@livefreemiranda) and her husband decided to try essentialism for a year – buying only what they needed. This meant not buying non-consumable items for an entire year.

In this episode she’s telling us all about how she navigated Target trips, birthdays, holidays, and educating her kids about money during her family’s year of “practical minimalism.”

Miranda also shares what her family learned during the process, and what values were instilled or reinforced during that year.
