#69 Organizing for Working Moms: A Journey Through Family, Systems, and Self-Care

Organizing for Working Moms: A Journey Through Family, Systems, and Self-Care

Let’s face it—being a working mom can feel like running a never-ending marathon with a toddler hanging off your leg and your inbox overflowing. Between the demands of work, parenting, and trying to squeeze in a moment for yourself, it’s no wonder so many moms feel stretched thin.

But here’s the good news: with the right mindset and a few smart systems in place, organizing for working moms doesn’t have to be overwhelming. In fact, it can be the very thing that brings more peace, connection, and breathing room into your day.

-Let Systems Lighten the Load at Home

Stacey Wallenstein, a mom blogger from New York, gets it. She’s built a lifestyle around organizing—not just her home, but her family’s time, habits, and even their mindset.

One of Stacey’s best strategies? She gets her kids involved. Every child has specific responsibilities, like handling their own laundry or packing their lunches. These small, age-appropriate tasks build independence and reduce the mental load on mom. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about everyone contributing.

# 63 Parent Partnership: Getting on the Same Page

Parent Partnership: Getting on the Same Page

Maintaining a strong parent partnership is essential when raising kids. When both parents are aligned, it fosters stability, clarity, and a sense of security for children. However, being on the same page doesn’t always mean agreeing on everything—it means agreeing on an approach. If you’ve ever struggled with co-parenting strategies or wondered how to get on the same page with your partner in parenting, this post is for you.
For this episode, instead of discussing parent partnership solo, I invited my husband, Onnig, to join me. This is actually his second time on the podcast, but our first on video. A little nerve-wracking, but we’re rolling with it!

#53 Parenting Challenges Solved: An Insight into the SNAP Program’s Success – with Ron Swan and Debbie St-Martin

In this episode, Dianne discusses with guest speakers Ron Swan and Debbie St-Martin from Centre Famille, Home to the SNAP Program, about overcoming parenting challenges, managing the behavior of children, effectively communicating within a family, and establishing organization and structure at home.
They explore the importance of empathy and understanding in parenting and the significance of teaching kids essential life skills. Featuring real-world examples and results from their SNAP Program, they emphasize the power of positive reinforcement, the need for consistency in parenting styles, and the indispensability of creative thinking.
Further, they examine how different parenting styles can work together for the benefit of children and touch upon maintaining a united front in front of children, compartmentalizing different aspects of life, and the value of prioritizing what matters most in family life.

45: Chores & Kids – Interview with Kai

Listen to the third and final episode of a series where I interview my kids. Hear their perspective and thoughts when it comes to their involvement in maintaining the house, find out when they’re more resistant to doing chores, what this all means for them in the future, and so much more!

In this episode, it’s my oldest kid’s turn on the mic. Find out the differences and similarities between his take on chores vs his siblings, being the oldest child and what he’d do if he were the parent. Also, find out what it’s like at our home from following a chore chart to whether getting paid to do chores is preferred or not. Also, learn to start practicing positive parenting by listening to your children and having conversations with them about chores. Who knows what you’ll discover from these talks. You just might learn a thing, or two, about them as well as yourself!

Hope you enjoy this episode.
