Book Review: Simplified

in DIY & Home Decor on 09/18/19

If you don’t already know I LOVE decluttering and organizing!  Just ask my dad… for my fun I basically forced him to declutter his garage a few weekends ago HA!  I am always looking for ways to make my life more simple and clutter-free. Whether that be physical clutter or the clutter in my mind.  So that brings me to my second book review Simplified by Emily Ley (apparently I really like authors named Emily :)). I heard about Emily’s book Simplified a few years ago from a friend and then once I started blogging I came across Emily Ley a second time and that is when I decided to finally read this book.  Here is my book review on Simplified by Emily Ley.

Book: Simplified 
Author: Emily Ley

Summary

“Do you long to simplify the demands on your time, energy, and resources? Have complicated responsibilities, overwhelming to-do lists, and endless clutter left you feeling overwhelmed? Busy wife, mom, entrepreneur, and bestselling author Emily Ley knows how you feel. With a growing family, increased work demands, and more, she understands the struggle it is to keep the plates spinning.

In A Simplified Life, you’ll find Emily’s strategies, systems, and methods for permanently clearing the clutter, organizing your priorities, and living intentionally in 10 key areas—from your home and meal planning, to style and finances, parenting, faith life, and more. Emily will show you how to truly make the most of your days with realistic, achievable, and tactical tools. Walk alongside Emily through each page of the book, working through her simple strategies toward your own goals as you simplify and make space for what matters most.”

My Thoughts

This book truly showed me that decluttering, simplifying and organizing doesn’t just improve how things look in our homes they can improve how you as a person can feel, act and work.  Emily gets to the bottom of how decluttering our lives from all the unnecessary “stuff” can open our hearts to living a more intentional life.

Biggest Takeaway

Don’t just read this book, actually, DO the things she says!  THEY WORK! Emily has shown me that simplifying my life can lead to more time doing things I actually want to do, more time with my loved ones, and more time making memories!

Who should read this book?

EVERYONE!  I seriously love this book and Emily Ley!  Her faith is an inspiration along with her gift of helping others simplify their lives! READ THIS BOOK!

I'm talking shelf decor today here at Lilies and L I'm talking shelf decor today here at Lilies and Life 🌿📚

In my blog post Shelf Decor 101 I created an acronym to help you decorate your shelves F.A.B.B.C.A.V.💪 Here is what F.A.B.B.C.A.V. stands for:

F: Frames
A: Accents
B: Baskets
B: Books
C: Candles
A: Artificial Plants
V: Vases

(Honestly, I wish I could have come up with a catchier acronym but couldn't... I tried 🤣) 

Use these seven decor categories to freshen up those shelves 🙌 check out my blog post (link in bio) for links to lots of decor!
