PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ley (Grace, not Perfection), nudges readers to streamline their life in this straightforward self-help guide and personal planner. Her plan is broken down into three steps: reduce distractions by removing the unnecessary; put tools in place by setting up systems, resources, and accountability; and establish routines that work. "I don't organize or structure life just because it's my job or because I want things to look good from the outside," she writes. "I do these things because I want a life that is rich, sweet, and uncomplicated." The book is divided into 10 chapters, each focusing on a different facet of life: space, style, meals, finances, faith, etc. Ley's strategy begins with a clean space: "At the end of each day, walk the house with a laundry basket and gather clutter. Empty trash cans. Wipe down surfaces." Her financial advice is simple and sound: "Monitor account every other day or so to check for any discrepancies." She also recommends savings quotas and overdraft protection, and includes a list of financial terms. In the faith section she has strategies for rethinking the value of social media, returning to simple prayers, making time for faith, and letting God be in control. Fans of Marie Kondo will find this a welcome book for further tips on simple living.

Life Changer
This book truly changed the way I view life now. Because of A Simplified Life, I enjoy time with my kids and my husband and everything else in this crazy life. Thank you Emily!
It caught me by surprise
I got this book from a friend! Little did she know that this was my goal this year 2018. Emily Ley is so down to earth. I love how she puts herself in the book and what has helped her, could also help us.
Great Read!
If you’re looking for ways to make your life more simple, here you’ll find practical ways to get there. This isn’t a minimalist guide, but a reminder to give more margin back to your life by living simply. Emily truly reminds you why it’s important to live simple — in the margin, we find love and fun and make more memories. No need to be complicated or chaotic. I found most of the advice easy enough to apply to my daily life, but I also have twin 16 month olds and a 34 month old, so simplicity isn’t quite the name of the game, it’s survival. 😉 But this book helped to align my heart to start small, make margin, and hold myself to a standard of grace, not perfection.
