All our love!! - Dawn & Tom
“This isn’t goodbye…” scared me, I was really afraid of you making an announcement none of us would welcome, lol. We are so grateful back at ya, so glad you guys are taking care of yourselves and your family!
You are welcome. Thank you for all the help you have given me in getting my home under control and more simplified. I am a happy minimalist.
You are such a light in the interwebs! I try not to miss any videos. Thank you both for your wholesome characters in the way you live and raise/treat your family.
Dawn- I turned 40 also around the same time. It's not so bad to be in this club!
Please consider Branson, MO in your vacation plans. Its so family friendly and also near the ozarks! Places you may enjoy are:
Silver Dollar City
Bridal Falls Cave
Top of the Rock
Lamberts (they throw rolls!)
Sight and Sound theater
The Haygoods
Cant wait to see more in the new year.
Love, Kristen from Lincoln
@The Minimal Mom if I join the channel, will the monthly cost ever increase?
I love watching the two of you. I wanted to make a comment. I don't need all the comment police after me. This is just my opinion. What you do with it is on you. I know you are a Christian. I follow your advice about checking out Clutterbug channel. I just watched her 2022 outtakes video. I was blown away when she used GD on her video. I know you can't control what other people say on their video. Just wanted you to know that is who you are sending people over to watch. As a Christian I didn't appreciate it. I told her I would unsubscribe and she gave me a thumbs up. Just wanted you to know I can't follow that recommendation to watch her.
I found The Minimal Mom channel in Jan. of 2022 and have been voraciously consuming the videos and applying the principals ever since. 1 year later, SO.MUCH.PROGRESS! Toys have been decluttered, kitchen is finally functional and CLEAN, we were able to clear out the "junk" room so that my daughter could finally stop sleeping in our room and have her own bedroom. My son, who has sensory challenges, now has a calm and peaceful environment where he can relax and thrive. He is able to clean up the toys on his own now! It used to take me about a week to tidy the house, now I can do it in about an hour. I finally have been able to wash all the laundry AND put it all away- it's a miracle! The last thing to be done that I have been dreading is dealing with paper/books/photos and office/craft supplies. It's the most difficult category for me, but I have so much more confidence now. We feel so much more at peace in our home and mentally free to pursue our dreams and goals, instead of feeling depressed and overwhelmed in a messy house like we used to. I no longer keep random unnecessary objects out of guilt or fear. In the 4 year living here, I rarely invited anyone over because I was so ashamed of the mess. Now I regularly can entertain and I enjoy hosting friends. I have even started cooking more often! And I 100% give the credit to this Channel. Thank you Dawn, Tom, and the crew!
Amazing! Praise God 🙌🏻
🎉 that is awesome! Praise God! Congratulations and God bless!
❤️💗💜💗❤️🍀✨🧚♂️❣️
So awesome. Congratulations, and enjoy!!!
You said it so well! This has been my experience as well!
That’s a pretty amazing! I too have found success in my de-cluttering, but I still have a long way to go. I have finally after at least 2 decades convinced my husband that we need to get this work done. I give almost all the credit to Dawn and her videos.
I do not like the name of this video!! Freaked me out!!! I thought you were 'taking a break" based on the title. So happy you are not! Not that you don't deserve one, but, phew! I'm so happy you are still making videos. You two - are so cute and you make me smile whenever I watch you! I retired in 2022 and am now in the process of decluttering a home we raised our children in and have been here for over 30 years. What a task, but thanks to you and your help and tips, it is totally do-able. Thank you for your help! Keep posting!
Dawn, I feel confident is saying you CHANGED MY LIFE. I know, I know it sounds dramatic, but I’m so grateful I stumbled upon your encouragement. My family is happier with less and I couldn’t have done it without you!
Yes! I second this well said Meagan
Amen! Ditto❣️🥰
I also second this!!
You, Dawn, have set me free! I am extremely I’ll with a chronic illness and my energy level and motivation were basically non-existent. Watching your videos gave me the motivation I need. Decluttering is truly addictive! I do what I can each day, and I can do so much on a really good day. I have made tons of progress and my mental state has improved immensely. Sitting here looking at all my clutter I thought I needed to organize was really overwhelming. You have made me realize there was entirely too much inventory and that decluttering was the answer. I can not thank you enough! And the fact that you share your faith makes me love you even more. You have no idea what you have done for me! Thank you so much, and may God continue to Bless you and your family always ❤️❤️❤️
Y'all are so brave on those back roads. God sent you that fellow that crossed the river. You are such a gift to us all! God bless you and family.
Only recently found your channel. I'm 71 years old. Lots of STUFF. This evening I've cleared my kitchen of a lot. A box to donate a bag of garbage. Can't wait until tomorrow to continue. So tired of all the shuffling . For years I just move things from 1 place to another and back again . 2023 my year to make my home a place of peace. I've enjoyed watching your recap of 2022.
I also aim to “complete projects” I am guessing at least 30 percent of my clutter will go away as a result. Thanks for that confirmation, Tom.
The Justin Case is hilarious and I loved it! I have to go back and watch the whole episode!!!
My husband and I were out exploring a few years back. We were WAAAAY outside the city and we ended up passing a sign that said “beyond this point you responsible for the cost of your own rescue”
We have been in a lot of remote areas (12 million acres of public land in my state) but that was a first finding a sign like that!
Lol, that’s awesome!!!!
What a memory excellent!
Wow 😮
I would have remained rational as long as the sun was up, once the sun starting going down I would have lost my...
I really enjoy all your videos but I especially enjoy the joint videos with Tom in because I think the bond and connection you have with each other is so sweet and pure 💞
I appreciate you Dawn, and Tom AND your family; thank you for all you do ❤️
Going through chemo right now. But 2023 is my year to declutter. I love your motto! Clutter free in 2023! I’m in.
I love you guys!
Best wishes with chemo ❤️
I’m sorry to hear this Patti, but wishing you good health and extra energy for decluttering in the new year!!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@TheMinimalMom thank you. God bless you all.
Best wishes!
I pray God will give you the strength you need and restore your health.
Thanks for all the decluttering advice! You have simplified our lives! It was great seeing your trip to the Ozarks. You were just a few miles from our home! Those concrete slabs with water over them are called "Low Water Bridges." They are meant to be driven over - at least most of the time! I'm sure you've heard the saying "Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise." If the creek is up, you can't cross safely. So, you just wait. They are usually passable in a few hours. The area you were in is wonderful for camping, hiking, backpacking and canoeing. If you don't like to rough it, there are a lot of VRBOs and cabins to rent in the area! I hope we'll see you back soon!
I know you don’t always like talking about money and debt. But honestly you are the reason why we started our debt free journey this fall. We asked for Financial Peace University for Christmas and start our class on January 11th. I am so so excited and my husband is on board. I know this will completely change our family tree. Along with minimalism this is just so amazing and helping me become a better mom and wife. Thank you!
I live in NW Arkansas and got a chuckle out of River Crossing. Looked more like creek but I think that's a perspective thing. Our daughter lives in Mississippi and traveling in that area is a bit unnerving at times so I get it.
I love your videos and information. You make me feel like I actually can declutter and get organized. My kitchen, living room and laundry room are decluttered and I'm trying to organize now. The rest of the house is a work in progress. I'm confident I'll get it all done. I have medical issues that make it difficult to get to all the places I'd like to donate and giving myself permission to throw some things away has been a big key to my success. Bless you and your family!
Howling with laughter as he chucks pillows at you….so my husband he makes fun of throw pillows beyond two….you guys are so like our fun Minnesota cousins!!!🥰🇨🇦( they exist and live from Canadian border down to Zimmerman and apple valley. So so fun our reunions are a hoot)!🥰🇨🇦
Since you had mentioned it I wanted to say that we went to Glacier National Park last June…it is spectacular! It had been on my husbands bucket list for a long time so we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with a road trip starting from San Jose making Glacier our first National Park. We went to Yellowstone National Park the day after it opened after all the flooding and it was wonderful! It had been several years since we had been there, SO many interesting things to see and so much wildlife! We visited The Grand Tetons in addition to other places. I highly recommend taking your family! The Cody Wyoming famous Rodeo is really fun too and I’m usually not a rodeo type of person. Love your channel and your entire family! God bless all your future endeavors! ❤️🙏🏻
The way y’all talk about Dave Ramsey is how we feel about you. You have helped us all so much and really changed our lives. I hope to meet you someday. I don’t think I would have the words to express my gratitude. But just to say thank you and get a photo together would be awesome. When is the next fan meet up in Georgia??? ❤😊
Oh my gosh.. that video of the trails in the Ozarks brought back some serious childhood trauma! LOL!!! I refused to go to the mountains with my parents for several years after my dad drove our motorhome (one of the really long ones!) up and down winding mountain roads in NC. We got to the top and there was no where to turn around! I had to stand at the back window and keep watch while my teenage brother stood outside and let daddy know if we were going to go over the edge or not! We were literally hanging off the mountain! My childhood was filled with adventures like that. I mean, who goes out deep sea fishing with the threat of a hurricane looming?! Riding motorcycles on mountain trails... dune climbing in jeeps... I guess I should say it was a fun adventurous childhood but man did it screw me up! LOL! Haven't ya'll ever heard "Turn around, don't drown!"???? Anyway... I love watching yours and Rusty's videos. You've taught me so much!
I’m 40 too!!! Born in 1982!! I knew we had more in common!! Awesome!!
Dawn, it all began with you!! Words cannot express my gratitude for what I believe was a Divine appointment to click on your channel a few years ago. As I never watched TH-cam except to listen to a song or watch a favorite movie clip, and I definitely was not a minimalist, I was so compelled to click on your channel- now not even remembering the content. I felt instantly connected to you as I am a Christian in the Midwest who went through the Dave Ramsey program. Well....my former husband and I started, but you and Tom inspired me to now get back on the horse again riding solo.
I have gleaned so much from you, and then you introduced me to a world of stellar individuals who enriched my life even more. You and Tom are a shining example of real marriage, and who doesn't like Tom? Diana is amazing , and by the length of this comment, one can see I relate to her in SO many ways! I will never forget the video when you introduced Cass- that was before TYHB. I learned I am a "Ladybug". Then you referenced Dana and I began following her and reading her books. Naturally, when Take Your House Back was born, I was all in. Can I renew my subscription a second time??
WhenI saw your first video with John Delony, I have watched him every day since that show! He, through you,has changed my life. Rachel Cruz became a channel I have recently been following resulting in more determination to get out of debt.
My family teases me when I say, "My friend, Dawn" but you are truly someone that I KNOW we could be friends My mantra:" Better Me 2023",and you, my friend began the journey! ❤
You and your crew have been lights in a very dark time and although I am single and disorganized, you've taught me a great deal!
Wow Angie, this gave me goosebumps!! Thank you for taking the time to share this! And yes, you can renew take your house back as many times as you’d like!!! 😉❤️ Thank you again!!!! Dawn
Hi Dawn and Tom and Family! Come to New Mexico!!!
Tom has such a good sense of humor! You two make a really good couple! Dawn you are so inspiring. I feel so supported by you in my decluttering journey.
What a joy it is to join you on your adventures. Justin Case was one of my favorites too. Tom you are a riot. Not a dork just a fruit loop in a box of cherrios 😂
LOVED that you took us on your adventure! Thank you guys! X
Hello Dawn! I have subscribed to your channel for some time now (2-3 years?), but I am just now getting serious about decluttering and adopting a minimalist lifestyle. You said something in one of your videos (or several)-I’ve been binge watching you (and a home decor lady, Kristen McGowan) all week, staying up til the wee hours of the morning. It was something like we have too many things to manage and that’s why our houses are messy. Yes!! It’s so obvious. That realization hit me right between the eyes!! Between you, Josh Becker and The Minimalists, I think I’m FINALLY ready to be serious about this. I just got all our Christmas stuff put away today and have started small declutter jobs like the junk drawer and my dresser. Already, I feel peaceful and calm when I returned home after being gone. Thank you for your encouragement and keep making those videos!
i love your videos and i love your saying “clutter free in 23”. i’ve been trying to declutter and am newly diagnosed with adhd/autism ( at 54 and with a family) so am beginning to have some awareness as to why i’ve been struggling my whole life 😃 thanks for all that you do ❤
I went thru that, too! Helps explain myself to ME!😊😊😊
@@SewingandSuch It brings peace to know, so you won't be so hard on yourself & you can love yourself more.very healing💙
Sending positive for your adhd journey. If you have access and need therapy or meds please use it. Lots of untruth stored in mind and body sometimes. 💙💙💙 Only allow real truth to take space in your head.
I’m 52 and have the same diagnosis of ADHD/autism spectrum disorder/excoriation disorder (type of OCD), and all that those things encompass. My husband is ADHD and 3/4 of our girls are officially on the autism spectrum as well. I get how discovering the background for what we struggle with is a relief and a strain as well. Blessings!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I am gonna be clutter free in 23! I gave myself the BEST Christmas present - I got rid of my treadmill! I have a whole new lease on life now that that thing is not taunting me. Thx for all you both do to be encouraging and helpful!
I enjoyed the recap of your and Tom's scenic tour 😆. But seriously I am truly encouraged every time I watch your videos. Thank you! See you next year...
Watching your scenic drive brought back memories of my dear late hubby and I in Canary Islands. We followed a very basic map in our small saloon hire car and ended up driving along a very rocky dry river bed between the mountains. We reached a village and on enquiring about a shop were told ‘you would have passed it entering the village’. We didn’t like to say we had just crawled out of the river bed!! Happy days 😊
This is the most Epic video you have ever posted! I was raised in the Ozarks and thoroughly enjoyed your Scenic trip through the Ozarks. I have been over many river crossings such as you encountered but never with a car in tow. Your parents are so calm and collected. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us! Totally loved it!
I have been using the fly lady method on/off for years. This method seems to work great for me - but I sometimes struggled a bit to get it all done, and stay on 'the wagon'. I always assumed it was something about me. However, summer vacation 2022, I did a HUGE declutter of my whole apartment. This is also the summer where I discovered Minimal Mom, and not going to lie, these videos have helped motivation a lot, and to keep it up. The amount of stuff that was shoved in my closets were actually obnoxious - and I was actually starting to have more stuff than I had room for. My apartment was no longer functional.
The thing is, after the declutter - I have been keeping up on the cleaning - without needing to follow the Flylady system - because it is so much easier to stay on top of! :) I just did a second declutter of the kitchen, and it is now at a reasonable level. My last frontier is clothing. I have actually gotten rid of a lot already, but I have very little closet space. So I would like to curate a wadrobe of 50 pieces at the most, but pieces I truly love, and will wear until they are worn out.
One of the videos that were especially helpful was what the clutter is telling you, and set up a system for dealing with that. I even got a small 'donation' bin, where I will put things that needs to be donated. Once full, I will empty it, and take it to a charity shop. Will keep watching in 2023. :)
I can’t get enough of The Minimal Mom videos AND Rusty Judgement videos! I think you two are so fun together and equally fun in your own videos. I always watch to the end of both your videos - in Dawn’s videos just to hear you say, “Well, I love you…” and in Tom’s videos to see what you will do. You both make me smile and brighten my day. I am thankful for and appreciate all the work you put into your videos. 😊
Also- Justin Case was such a helpful visual of all my usual impediments to minimalism! Loved that.
Oh my goodness. I'm sitting here hand over my mouth dying for you all. Then I remind myself, wait they've been on lots, they'll be fine. LOL You all are some brave souls. Wow, what an adventure and not one I would want to be on. Now I'm laughing so hard, the whole pillow scene was great! Amen on being debt free. I chuckle, you both are so young. My baby is 50 if that says anything. May you all have a very wonderful New Year's Eve.
Just in case was my all time favourite. Laughed again now! Sending it to all my friends :)
My hubby and I spent a week in a cabin in pigeon forge for our honeymoon in February 2022…renting a slingshot and driving through the mountains was the best part of the trip…that and hiking to a couple of waterfalls!! We love the smoky mountains!!
Your videos jumpstarted my husband, then my sons, then me to declutter our house. It's still a long process but is bringing us far more peace as we remove the layers. Peace and patience to you!
I met my hubby in 1982 its crazy its 40 years ! Youre looking good Thank you for all your help - I'm nicking the clutter free in 23
A very happy new year to you all xxxxx
Oh my gosh, this is literally my favorite video! 🤗 First the Grand ADVENTURE, thanks for taking us along! Then Just in Case, Tom throwing all the pillows at you and then saying unsubscribe from Minimal Mom! I too am a pillow connoisseur! You guys are just too funny, love your channel!!!! 😍💕 Wishing you all the best in 2023! Thanks for always giving us a good laugh and making us smile! 😍
Justin Case was funny. The two of you are pretty calm on that scenic river road. Dawn is saying drive on and I'm thinking "NO". Happy New Year.
Thank you both for making minimalism and living debt free normal and achieveable. It's the best way to live - also downlunder here in Manjimup!!!
Great summary! I would love for you to do a video that compares your minimalism style with that of Joshua Becker. You are always so encouraging.
Love you too, both your videos are the highlight of my week.
I'm a newbie. I watched my first video on Friday while at work...(SHHHH!!) And I picked up my throw rugs on Saturday morning! I can't wait to get started. I love your candid and loving spirit and this video made me laugh so much. You seem to have a wonderful marriage. You give me lots of hope! I can't wait to see where this journey takes me too.
What a full year you have had! I keep wanting to go through my journal and recap my year. Losing my dad was the biggest thing in 2022. I turned 60 (I'm old enough to be your mom, Dawn!). Yours, Tom's and Diana's videos have been positive uplifting treats all year long. I will miss you on Fridays in 2023 for sure, but wish you the best with new endeavors. Oh, and my husband recently took TWO HUGE loads of stuff out of our garage to the dump. Clutter free in 2023!
Great to see your smiling faces! The Ozarks and Smoky Mountains look beautiful!
Yes; would love it if you’d come out west! 😁 The “PNW” is gorgeous: Idaho; Oregon coast, Olympic peninsula, San Juan Islands, you name it! 🙃🌲🐠🚙💟-kelly
I still remember watching the Ozark video and seeing all the people you passed that you didn't ask what was up ahead. The folks of the South are usually really friendly and helpful. We live in NE Oklahoma and we have roads like that all over the state, but we have no problem asking a friendly face to see what's up ahead. My mom is from SW Arkansas and her family still lives there, so we've been on lots of roads exactly like that one in Arkansas and Oklahoma. A four wheeler is the best way to see it. And it gives a whole new definition to dirt roads. 😆
On another note, thank you for the great videos and information and faith perspective that always keep me coming back!!!
Justin Case has been my favourite video this year- it’s had me in stitches! Thank you so much for all your wonderful content. You have been such an inspiration and I am already feeling my home is more peaceful and I can breathe. Thank you also for introducing me to other wonderful people, Diana, Cass, Rachel Cruz and John Delony. I am hoping to make big changes in 2023 and to be clutter free! Fab mantra! Happy New Year to you and your awesome family 💖 love from England Xxx
Thank you both for helping me to get out of debt. I had to be honest with myself to love myself! I phoned the bank. A fifty percent reduction was made. I paid. Baked beans, eggs, white bread, tea, coffee, butter and honey took me safely through the month. Smoked paprika, salt and tobasco too!
It's been wonderful watching and spending time with you this past year. I pray 2023 will bring you more blessings and good health.
Clutter Free in 23! I like it! Thanks for everything you do. You help me stay grounded:)
Thank-you Dawn and Tom. God blessed me by leading me to your channel. You are such a highlight in my life, I consider you friends, our family and home has benefited immensely from your influence. God Bless you !
Just-in-case was my favorite funny video of the year!!! The pillow fight had me rolling with laughter! 🤣🤣🤣 Each video you do brings such needed encouragement and helpful information! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I live in the Ozarks, yes this is our everyday. Glad you are safe and sound 🤗
the pillows were hilarious! "I enjoy being a dork" ...Tom... too funny! Love watching your channel and can't wait to see what 2023 brings!
You two are such a perfect couple! Yes you might fight and argue like any other couple but you two were meant for each other and its so refreshing to see. I'm so glad Tom is involved in your videos he makes us laugh and you have such a warm and welcoming demeanor, I come watch just to see you smile and make us feel loved. Thank you both for that. Your channel is so wonderful you have no idea how much you have helped us and me. I didn't even wait to get your devotional or book and started decluttering. (they did come and I'm reading them now LOL!) I'm starting to feel relieved even though I have 30+ years of stuff I've carried everywhere and stored. Thank you for this channel, it is a blessing to us. God bless you both and Happy New Year Dawn and Tom, family!
I love this video: the "scenic drive", Justin Case, and talking about being debt free. I live northeast of the Smokies. Renting one of those things sounds great!!! My hobby is photography and I totally agree with you. There are some awesome things that I have taken photographs of they can never really show what I experienced. And I also agree with you about this area, even though I am 2 hours Northeast of the exit to get to the Smokies. This area is incredible! I moved to the area in 1980 and it continues to be something I thank the Lord for every day.
Include us in videos when you travel again.
I have such a total sense of satisfaction watching The Minimal Mom and Rusty Judgment - what you feature is the true culmination of believing in yourself and believing you can do it, and you do it with so much wonderful humor and love. Thank you for being such a light in my life. Happy New Year and I am excited to see where 2023 takes you, and where you take us. The gratitude you express towards your viewers is as much equal to the gratitude we have for you, your boundless generosity and honesty and the pure sense of joy there is in your family. You both are such a beacon of decency and hope. 👌❤🙏💪
What Andrea said! Sooo love all you do!
Wow Andrea, thank you so much! And thank you for ALL of your super and encouragement, it means more than you know!!!!!❤
I like it! Clutter Free in 2023
I love both of your channels. Tom has a great sense of humor, like Cas's stories for those that stay to the end. 🤣 Besides decluttering in "23 I want try to make all your Bundt cake recipes. Have you ever been to "The Grand Canyon?" I have been a few times because I'm in AZ, it always takes my breath away. I finally was able to take my hubby on the train ride from Williams, AZ to the canyon, great fun. Wishing your family the best and "Happy New Year!" 👏🧨🎉🥂👍🥰
You two are awesome you just get so much done
Haha... funny video. 😁 I think I will remember Tom as Justin Case all my life after seeing this. 😆 I also love that you have some pillows. We got rid of so much in our home, but I love beautiful things and think I will always have a lot of pillows and candle holders. A more minimal and airy home feels great, but I will probably not ever be a "real" minimalist. I love the inspiration from minimalistic channels. So thank you for what you do! It's lovely to have a home that is calm and organized. Nice to see some from your trips as well. I wish you a lovely 2023.
Dawn and her hoard of pillows are so cute! It’s ok to have an area of excess IF it’s serving you and you are using and enjoying it!
Thank you for the ‘look back’. I remember the original videos and how much I enjoy your channel.
You guys are amazing! You have tackled so many projects this year. You are hard workers and such great parents. Thanks for sharing the Justin Case pillow fight again! I laughed out loud! So funny! And Dawn, you looked really surprised when all the pillows started coming at you so that was either great acting or Tom really did surprise you! Well done!❤
Welcome to my beautiful home state of Arkansas ! So glad you passed thru, please come see us again. Jasper Arkansas
I remember watching this when you posted the trip and thinking that your parents are total troopers! Thanks for all the great videos this year! Headed into the new year with your devotional on the table next to my quiet time chair. I hope every dream you are dreaming for 2023 becomes reality. Love you!
Dawn, we are SO grateful for you and blessed by you & Tom & your family! God's richest blessings to you in the year ahead! 🙏 ❤
I can honestly say your channel is my favorite TH-cam channel. I have learned so much from you these past few years. What a difference you have made in the way my house functions and the ease at which we are able to get it clean. Thank you for sharing you family, your time and your life with us. God bless you and yours!
Justin Case is also my favorite. You two are a dynamic duo. Keep it up. I filled a box from the kitchen today.
Im half way watching this video holding my breath every second hoping you wont break my heart at the end , the tension is sharp 😳
I’ve only found you maybe one month ago and you have become my ‘go to ‘ voice of reasoning while ( plus 2 or 3 others you mentioned) I try to tackle my home - once again- 4th move since 2005) thank you for all you do - wish I could hire you for a ‘live voice’ instead of playing your words in my head lol - I get so overwhelmed at times and then just ‘run out shopping’ 😊- today I started @6am - now it’s 9:30am and I’m achy and a bit frustrated at my lack of decision sigh - being from Germany I have a lot of sentimental items - letters - child hood stuff yikes - one of your videos actually helped in this area to take the heavy guilt off me - it was a ok to store some memorabilia- thank you - I will try to work on ‘ containing ‘ it next - love the Justin Case - I got a few of those - but less then I expected 😅
Thank you for giving us some fun and informative videos this year. By reducing your videos I am glad you have more time for your projects but please continue to include Tom and an update on your projects in your videos. They give such pleasure and a break from difficulties in my life. Happy New Year!
We love the Ozarks! we have a lifted jeep and go over landing/ off-roading often. It’s so pretty in the fall with the leaves changing 😍
Wishing you and your family happiness, health and an amazing coming year.
Your calming and kind nature along with the laughter makes my day every time.
Not sure why but I got a bit teary with the end of your video today.
Know that I am so grateful that you are here.
I love the pillow scene. It’s great to see you being real. It makes it easier to follow you when we know you’re not THAT different from us.
Have a wonderful safe healthy New Year you two! (yep.. Tom's channel is SO entertaining! and informative.. love it!)
I totally enjoyed your road trip. That waterfall on the side of the "lake" was cool to see.
You guys are so cute together. Thanks for 2022 & Happy New 2023. God richly bless your entire family.
Best video that now has my husband in board for decluttering. He looks at me and asks if we are keeping it for my other husband Justin Case? Love it. Tom you are hilarious. Love it.
Your channel is a blessing. Happy New Year to you all xxx
This was fun to watch. I especially loved "Justin Case". I laughed out loud at that. Here's to a great 2023. I look forward to it.
You have been a great addition to our year as well! Happy New Year! God Bless!
Another wonderful video. I am so thankful that I discovered your channel a few months ago. It has inspired me to begin my journey towards minimalism. For your next vacation, I would highly recommend visiting Yellowstone National Park. The wildlife and landscape is so incredible. Our family went there and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Happy New Year to you both! I look forward to spending this coming year with you! You two are THE BEST!! 😀❤️👍
Come to Utah this year! National parks and starlit sky, mountains and canyons and so much beauty!!
Watching you recap the ozarks drive is crazy to me. It feels like just a few days ago I watched that video. Thank you for taking us along on your family adventures, and helping people like me get their crap together. Hope next year is just as blessed for you and your family, and blessings to all watching and reading this. ❤️❤️❤️ See you next year y’all!
I consider my house pretty clutter free but enjoy watching your videos and always am inspired to go clean out something!
We love you too Minimal Mom! Happy new year! Always appreciate your encouraging videos!
I just love these two. Tom seems like the most amazing husband. The way he looks at Dawn... Have a wonderful 2023!
Justin Case was what sold me to subscribe to your channel 😂 and go down the Minimal Mom rabbit hole 😂 You guys are awesome! ❤
I am number one!! What an honor!! I love your channel and especially your giggles!
Thank you Linda!!!!
I just love your laughter and positive outlook on life. Your family is awesome ❤️
So glad we will have Tom's videos on Friday. Love watching his many projects he undertakes and enjoying the move on house ones! And yes, love his characters at the end of the videos!!! LOL!
“I enjoy being a dork, basically.”
Precisely why some of us love ya, Tom!
You guys are such a blessing …. SO, so great, edifying and entertaining together. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
What a fun video! Thanks so much for the giggles. Love the pillows!
Oh my gosh, you guys make me LAUGH OUT LOUD!! 😄
You're so funny 😊.
But seriously, I loved hearing about your adventure in the Ozarks (even though it felt like a nail-biter, for a little while.I was worried)! I'm so glad Dawn's parents are with you, on these adventures. They seem like a real soothing buffer, against frazzled nerves.
Thanks for all your videos. You accomplished A LOT,
in 2022!
Justin Case was one of my many favorites also!! I laughed outloud again!!! And another funny thing is that Menard's sells a tool kit called Just in Case!!! I was laughing so hard when I saw it in their ad!!! Immediately thought of Tom!!!!😀
Dave Ramsey is THE BOMB!!!! We started his program in 2001 and have been debt free for 15 years and it is the best feeling in the world!!!
My nephew worked at Glacier National park last summer and absolutely LOVED it!!! He had snow all summer in the mountains!!
Thank you for sharing the factual and the insightful highlights of your year.
Yall are cracking me up!
This is my neck of the woods. It's interesting seeing yalls reactions to our everyday living...LOL!!!
