About

Head here to subscribe via email. Wanna learn more? Read on.

Founded in early 2008, Simple Mom is a blog dedicated to the art and science of living life simpler—and maybe a bit unconventionally. It’s a blend of helpful tips, motivation to help you make plans, storytelling about the simple-living process, and encouragement to not let your brain go to mush just because you’re a parent. We’re a snark-free, friendly community that loves the benefits of living with more intention, but we definitely don’t have our act together. Love living clutter-free? Absolutely. Still step on LEGO on a near-daily basis? You betcha.

Founding Editor & Main Voice

Tsh Oxenreider is the founder and creative director of this place (along with Simple Living Media, the company that owns it). Originally from Austin, Texas, she’s a mom to three kids, wife to a bearded Oregonian named Kyle, and a lover of black coffee and gorgeous typography. She’s written three books—Organized Simplicity, One Bite at a Time, and Intention (release date: early 2014), and hosts a weekly podcast called The Simple Mom Podcast. She thinks a library card, a Netflix subscription, and a passport are some of the greatest parenting tools in the universe, and that a good beverage and TED talk will get you through the end of any hard day.
