THE HABITS & HOME SHOW | Decluttering & Systems for Christian ADHD Moms

You're tired of your kids not helping around the house and when you do ask them to help you are met with attitude and under-breath comments. You have probably stopped asking and started just doing everything yourself because you're tired of the fight with them.
I was too but then I tired something different. To my surprise my son responded to my request with a positive attitude. He was pleasant and the task was finished quickly and thoroughly without me having to raise my voice or resort to any kind of shaming.
Tune in for today's podcast as I share with you what I did. It's truly the smallest change but I've noticed it making the most dramatic difference. Let's test this kind of parenting out on our kids for a couple of weeks and see what happens.

Hey friend! Let me ask you something that you're probably not thinking about and you probably won't ever think about until you're in the thick of the moment.
Do you have a backup plan for when sickness strikes in your home?      
I found myself answering this question last week with a big fat no as my response. Jered and I were sick as dogs last week. Unable to even get off the couch for a couple of days.      
Thankfully our kids are 9, 11, and 13 and are able to take care of themselves fairly well but through our sickness, I discovered that we could brush up on some habit training for our kids and that it would be extremely beneficial to have a plan established for when sickness strikes again.      
I mean it's rare that both parents are sick at the same time but it would make it so much easier to think through these things ahead of time so it easier for everyone regardless of who is sick or well. Sickness just throws off all rhythms and routines in the home so having a plan is going to help keep the home more in order and help everyone bounce back quicker.      
On today's show, I'm sharing with you three steps I'm taking to prepare us ahead of time for sickness. I encourage you to take some notes and join me in getting this system nailed down in your home as well.

Do you ever wish you were more intentional about spending quality time with your kids instead of just playing the role of their chauffeur and maid? Do you look back and regret not playing with them more when they were little? Do you wish there was a way to connect with them now so you can enjoy their company and make memories with them that help foster a deeper foundational relationship?
ME TOO! That's why I started doing this ONE thing with my kids four years ago, and now it's a yearly family tradition that we all look forward to.
Tune in as my boys and I share with you our favorite summer tradition and how this one thing has knitted our hearts closer together. You will want to start doing this with your family this summer too!

It's another Client Check-In episode!
Today I'm following up with Cathy Bush after I helped her declutter her home office and laundry room this year on New Year's Day. She gets real and honest with us telling us how she felt during the decluttering process, how she's doing managing her new decluttered and organized space, and what her plans are for more decluttering projects.
Staying clutter-free isn't easy but the more we remove what requires our personal management the better we're able to keep up with the day-to-day tidiness. Decluttering can feel time-consuming but living more minimally will save us time later on. I promise it's worth it!

I've been blogging on social media for the past 9-10 years and recently I noticed social media was the root of causing me to become less social. I found myself excluding myself from in-person friendships and depending on social media more to fill that need in my life.
You see, I was a lonely stay-at-home for years until I discovered I could connect with other moms and friends who were going through the same stage of life. Sure, the connections were kind of shallow and I couldn't depend on those friends to pick me up if my car broke down anywhere, but it provided the much-needed socialization I was missing.
Unfortunately, too much of a good thing soon becomes no longer a good thing and I realized how isolated I was becoming especially since the pandemic. The majority of my in-person friends stopped getting together and a lot of us found refuge in social media for human connection. But when the world went back to "somewhat normal," I had created a habit of only connecting with friends online and my in-person relationships were basically non-existent.
That's when I felt God tug my heart to lay social media down for a season. And it's been so good for my soul.
In today's episode, I'm getting very vulnerable and sharing with you how social media made me less social. Warning, there are some tears but I also give you some straight-up inspiration to lay down the social media beast as well. Do it friends! It's life-giving and I'm here for you if you need support.

A couple weekends ago, I had the privilege to work with a new client on decluttering and organizing her kitchen and pantry. She was having her kitchen cabinets painted and wanted to start over with a better system of organization. She reached out to me for help, and we were able to work together along with her husband and three grown children to complete the project just in time for a backyard bar-b-que.
 
 
In this episode, I'm giving you easy to follow and execute step-by-step instructions to declutter and organize your pantry. Take some time this weekend and put to action what you've learned. Then take the time to train you family how to keep up with the organization system you've created. It's always better and makes a lasting change when you get the entire family involved.

Let me ask you a question, how much time do you think you waste just looking for things in your house? Or even in your car or purse or at work? How many times has those missing items made you late taking your kids to school or getting to work?
 
PR Newswire reports that Americans spend about 2 1/2 days a year looking for misplaced items. And what's more alarming is that we collectively spend $2.7 billion each year replacing items. That's a whole lotta moola that should be staying in our pockets! This unnecessary spending can easily be remedied with some minor changes in our habits.
 
In today's episode, I'm sharing with you four reasons it's difficult for you to find things in your home. I'm laying out possible reasons and giving you do-it-right-now action steps to take to optimize your environment and your habits.

Do you ever find yourself mindlessly picking up your phone and clicking on your social media apps? And then before you know it, you've spent over an hour consuming everyone else's life only to find yourself feeling insecure and discouraged.
The hard truth is that social media platforms are designed in a way to suck you in and keep you there to keep you looking at ads. It can create addiction and dependency especially if you're someone who has grown a business heavily dependent on the use of social media platforms.
 
 
On the show today, I'm chatting with my good friend Chelsea Hurst. Chelsea has 1.5 million YouTube subscribers and 480k Instagram followers and decided to take a month long break from all her social media accounts. We chat about being a new mom, finding your identity and creating new habits and boundaries with social media in our personal lives as well as our online businesses and ministries.
 
 
If you've been contemplating taking a break from social media, you will leave this episode encouraged and inspired to take the next step. You can be free from the bondage of social media and walk in free. You can do this! And I'm doing it right along with you during this season of Lent. Let's go!
