Simply Patz
I’m Patrice, a 55-year-old woman living a quiet and meaningful life centred around slow living, homemaking, and finding joy in the simple things. Having experienced burnout while working in palliative care, I left my well-paid job to become a stay-at-home wife.
Here, I share gentle homemaking routines, frugal living on one income, minimalist homemaking tips, ideas for simple living, slow mornings, and low-budget meals. As an introvert, I find peace in simple activities like baking, sewing, decluttering, gardening, and creating a welcoming home.
This channel is for those who feel overwhelmed and crave calm. If you're exploring minimalism, a low-buy year, a simple life, homemaking, or simplicity, you're not alone.
I’m not an expert, just someone still figuring things out, but I want to share my progress and the challenges I still face as we rediscover purpose, creativity, and joy through mindful homemaking, thrifty living, and crafting a beautiful life with what we have.

Here is my next challenge for you: SMALL ENTRYWAY CLEAN AND DECLUTTER WITH ME. It's the last deep cleaning and decluttering my house video using the MFQ-method before my surgery on February 24th. So let's try again to go from messy to minimal.

I think slow living and coloring mandalas are complementing each other so well, as you have to be in the present moment.
To me, there is a parallelism between going for a walk and coloring a mandala:
✓ in both, you can relax wonderfully and thereby reduce stress,
✓ in both, the flow of thoughts calms down,
✓ in both, creativity and concentration are encouraged,
✓ in both, you will feel a calming effect and increased serenity.

The next room that needs a huge declutter is our messy bedroom. 🤦♀️ So after having decluttered the dining room with the MFQ-method, join in to see if it will help me to declutter our bedroom too.
