But the benefits of downsizing are being enjoyed by many with a ‘full nest’ looking to simplify their life, free up their time and yes, save money. Denaye Barahona, the founder of Simple Families, a blog, podcast and community dedicated to helping families thrive through simple living, recently downsized her own home.
