BONUS CONTENT: Jenn & Carrie discuss minimalism!

Jenn and I continued our conversation after we finished recording the main episode... I was dying to hear how she made minimalism work for her large family - I've been striving to pare down our possessions (and it's been a bit of a struggle), so I was so curious to hear how she did it. If she could do it, certainly I could too, right? You can get access to it by visiting the episode page at themodernmomsociety.com/minimalism... be sure to check it out - it was a really great conversation and I left feeling inspired to purge more from my home!
