She started her minimalism journey because she was overwhelmed coming home to a cluttered house after working in a chaotic emergency department.\n\nSince decluttering, she not only uncovered her floors and surfaces, but also the deeper meanings behind our clutter, how clutter impacts our focus, why it\u2019s so hard to declutter, and how life is freer without our stuff weighing us down.\n\nRobyn lives on Vancouver Island in BC with her 3 teen boys and husband, 4 out of 5 of them have ADHD, including Robyn & her husband. She loves hiking, gardening and cooking along with Jane Austen, Monty Python and Harry Potter movies.\n\nCONNECT\n\nRobyn Buchanan of Minimalist Home | Website | Instagram | YouTube | Podcast\n\nLisa Bass of Farmhouse on Boone | Blog | YouTube | Instagram | TikTok | Facebook | Pinterest\n\nJoin us in the Simple Farmhouse Life Facebook community!
