Podcast #4: How To Get Your Kids Started With Laundry

/

Today, I’m going to talk to you about laundry. The reason why I’m bringing this up now it’s because it’s a BEAST!

When everything was normal, the laundry was always pulling up –  right?  If this was happening to you, because it was definitely happening to me. The laundry was always the last thing being done: either in the wee hours of the morning or right before bed. Or, actually getting your laundry from basket to basket.  So if it was clean laundry, you’re just picking it out from there.

I’m hoping that this is going to help you, in case your kids or your partner isn’t into the whole laundry bit and it all falls on you. So I want to help you out, my dear friend: Spread the joy of laundry. Or, spread the REALITY of what laundry is about! It’s not that bad and it’s not that big of a deal. And with some help, it can actually become a very enjoyable process! Can you believe it? Laundry enjoyable? Yes. It can be.

So by involving the kids at ANY TIME of this process, from toddlers to teens who aren’t sure how to go about it, plug them in into these little mini steps. And slowly, as they get used to it, add a little bit more to their responsibilities. It’s going to serve them so well in the long run and for you especially. We’re teaching our kids to become adults. So teaching this life skill? It’s happening right now!

Podcast #2: My Origin Story

/

I’m a teacher at heart and love to help people discover more about themselves and their capabilities.  Always looking for the silver-lining and lessons to be learned so that we come out a wiser, more aware and grateful version of ourselves.  I wasn’t always so organized and for a good chunk of the 10+ years of being a mom, I’ve spread myself pretty thin, trying to be everywhere and doing everything – all the time. And sometimes all at once! That’s just a disaster waiting to happen.
I also struggled for a long while with the thought of:

“Is this it? Is this my life, just a mom? And when the kids are grown and doing their own thing… then what?!”

Join me now, as I’ll be taking you, way back, to the beginning of my organizing journey.

Podcast #1: 5 steps to finding time in a busy schedule

Ugh I don’t know when I’m gonna get this done.

I can’t do this until (insert the name of the person you need) is here to help.

Sometimes I’m SO booked with driving here and there,  doing everything for everyone, I barely have time to THINK about tackling the things I want to get done around the house.

Do you ever confide these to a friend or even say it under your breath? When it comes to getting something organized like your closet, the books scattered all over the house or the kids’ toys that are taking over the living room and now, into the kitchen???

Often we end up reorganizing and rage purging late in the evening and working well into the night.  Next thing you know, we’re deep in clutter and in even MORE of a mess than when we first started. Other times, we feel guilty the next day because we got rid of something we MAYBE shouldn’t have.
