#90: The 3 Home Systems Every Busy Mom Needs Before Trying Anything Else

/

If your routines never stick and your house feels overwhelming no matter how much you declutter, tidy, or organize… clutter might not be the real problem.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 3 foundational home systems that make daily life feel lighter—and help routines finally stay in place:

✅ Drop Zone System (where daily stuff lands)

✅ Reset System (how your home returns to baseline daily)

✅ Responsibility System (who owns what—not who “helps”)

Because homes don’t run on motivation. They run on systems. And when these systems are missing, everything defaults back to mom.

#40: Being OK with the way our kids help out around the house

/

Do you often say: ‘Oh, I’ll just do it myself, it’s easier’ or ‘It’ll get done properly if I do it’ when it comes to maintaining your home?

You’re not alone.

Let’s face it, the way they do things isn’t the same way we do them nor the way we taught them how to do it.  It can cause frustrations sometimes and the temptation to just redo the whole thing ourselves (waste of time, by the way) or just do it ourselves from the get-go.

Resist.

In this episode you’ll learn the strategies I use to get passed through those thoughts and feelings so tune in.  Hope you enjoy this episode my friend!

#21: Teach Kids How To Store Their Papers

/

Recently a mom friend sent me a message out of the blue asking me about a very popular issue most parents with pre-school and school-aged children struggle with, myself included – until I had a strategy and action plan.

What I liked about how she framed it is that it wasn’t your TYPICAL Google search question. This went deeper in thought even though the results were the same: containing the clutter and giving the items a home.

I absolutely LOVED this question because it was about nipping the issue at the bud and addressing the behavior as opposed to finding organizing solutions using physical things like better furniture or using separators like bins or file folders. These are all great solutions to contain the clutter and chaos but it DOESN’T solve the ultimate problem: how we go about dealing with our things.

I get it, we’re all looking for quick fixes and solutions to deal with the chaos and disorganization in our home. With free shipping and next-day delivery, it’s so easy now to get our hands on things that will help solve our situation. But, is it REALLY solving the underlying issue?

If we don’t have strategies and plans set beforehand when new items come into our home or when we see a sale or deep discounted items, we’re SOOO tempted to take advantage of these hot deals that we buy more than we really need, or have space for. Our home, our space feels cramped and our minds become cluttered too: having to deal with organizing and managing the excess.

Well, in this case, it’s not about deals or sales but it is about items that keep coming in from the creative minds of our little ones…and they produce some REALLY beautiful, heartwarming, almost magical things… WE want to keep them all. And why not? They came from the most wonderful beings in the world – our children!

And if the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, well you better believe your kids will also want to keep every masterpiece that they’ve created.

So….how do we nip things at the bud, or address the root cause? Well, the title of this episode gives it all away: Teach Kids How To Store Their Papers

Podcast #11: Top 7 Mistakes To Avoid When Starting An Organizing Project

/

It’s that beautiful time of the year again, or at the time of this recording, it’s riiight around the corner and it’s typically THE prompt for thousands and thousands of people across the country, to do that ‘thing’ at this time of year: Spring Cleaning!

And unlike the word ‘cleaning’ in Spring Cleaning, this activity often goes far beyond washing, airing out and sweeping up the cobwebs. It also involves organizing and reorganizing too!

Now since the Pandemic started, we’ve all had a chance to take a step back and look within our own space and surroundings.  Some have completely revamped their homes, while others are going at it step by step.  Nevertheless in the last 2 years, the concept of ‘spring cleaning’ has gone from the beginning of spring to early summer TO an all-year event!

Tell me of someone who hasn’t cleared out or organized a space in their home, office, car, even relationships… in the last 2 years.  OK the last one is not part of the traditional sense of Spring Cleaning but this is a time of year to start fresh!
