This week we are bringing a ton of value, in three different forms.
Form one (you):
Our subscribers have known for a week now but we’re now announcing it publicly – we have an all-new, private Parents Who Facebook group. The mission of the group is to help you connect with the vision that is right for your family.
We’ve only been live for a little over a week and we already have almost 100 members!
If you want to see the inside scope of what we’re doing, and get exclusive value that we don’t share in the newsletter or on our blog, come join us in our new community.
Just click here, click “request to join” and we’ll let you in.
Form Two (your family):
Our friends over at Simplicity Parenting are beginning to kick off their new course, which Kim is offering for parents to study at home and go deeper with The Soul of Discipline.
It will begin with a lot of great free content, videos, and a webinar with Kim, and then there will be an optional paid course for parents who want to go deeper.
The free series is designed as a stand-alone three-part video series where Kim John Payne will share some of the best and most practical information from his new book, The Soul of Discipline: The Simplicity Parenting Approach to Warn, Firm, and Calm Guidance- From Toddlers to Teens. The series is meant to be helpful to all, whether or not you have read the book or plan on taking part in the upcoming course.
At the end of the free series, they will offer an opportunity for a “deeper dive” into the material by way of an 8-module online course where Kim will go into much greater depth about how to bring Simplicity Parenting principles into the daily life of your community. He will share lots and lots of real-world examples and stories from his years of experience- including information based on the most common questions he gets about this approach.

(Full disclosure, we are affiliates of Simplicity Parenting. This means if you click on the link and decide after the free content to purchase the course, we will receive a small affiliate commission. Regardless, we only recommend products or services we use personally or come highly recommended by experts we trust. Just want to be transparent!)
Form Three (the world):
Already I have seen the Christmas trees in the store and the stockings lining the shelves. I’m not here to debate whether it’s too early or not. But seeing all the Christmas items has reminded me that Christmas present buying is just around the corner.
If you are looking for a refreshing, impactful new gift idea for you or your family, let me propose the following:
One of our wonderful friends Joshua Becker from the widely popular blog Becoming Minimalist just announced his new non-profit this week. It’s called The Hope Effect and it’s changing how orphans are cared for around the world.
This is going to be Chris and I’s Christmas gift to each other this year, and probably even more.
There are three great ways to get involved:
- Participate in the homes for the holidays campaign. You can create your own fundraising page and instead of asking for material gifts this year, you can ask for donations instead. Or both!
- Join the $10 team
- Make a donation of any amount you would like.
After only one day of announcing The Hope Effect, over $25,000 had been raised, and the $10 teams grown to over 100 recurring donors.
Joshua’s commitment is that 100% of your donation will be used exclusively for orphan care.
