I’m Kait. I live in Philadelphia with my husband Shaun, my newborn son Weston, and our mini goldendoodle, Avett. Over the past 5 years we have slowly transformed our life from one of excess and waste to minimalism and sustainability. Ridding our lives of excess, cleared space for more of what matters; reducing the material stuff made room for the real stuff. And I quickly learned that the real stuff keeps you happier a lot longer than anything else. I recognize that our lifestyle is not conventionally “convenient,” but I think that it is important for all of us to be more aware that every action we take and decision we make impacts others, impacts the earth. I think that it is equally important for us to not judge others for the way they live, but to lead by example and share our experiences. That is what I hope to do with LittleFootLiving.
