152: Odd House Rules That Actually Work


Listen Later

Are you deep in the end-of-school chaos, or already in full summer survival mode, hiding from the heat and wondering how you’ll make it to August with your sanity intact? Either way, this episode is for you. 

Diana is sharing her odd, but it works house rules—those quirky, real-life hacks that keep her family (mostly) sane and her home (mostly) running, even when summer turns everything upside down.

In this episode, Diana gets real about:

  • Why she refuses to buy anything that can’t survive the dishwasher or washing machine (no shame, just survival!)
  • The nightly “PM pickup” that keeps the kitchen, dining, and family room from turning into a disaster zone—even when the day’s been wild
  • Her hard-and-fast rule: if you’re home and awake, you’re helping with cleanup—no exceptions, no martyrs, just teamwork (and less resentment!)

Why should you listen?
Because you’re busy, you’re tired, and you don’t need another perfect Pinterest routine—you need real talk, real solutions, and maybe a laugh or two. 

Diana’s house rules aren’t about perfection—they’re about making life a little easier, so you have more time for the stuff that actually matters (like sitting down for five minutes without someone yelling “Mom!”).

Plus: Diana wants to hear from you! Got your own “odd, but it works” house rule? DM her on Instagram (@the.decluttered.mom) and you might hear it in a future episode!

So grab your iced coffee, hide in the laundry room for a few minutes, and hit play. Let’s survive summer together—one weird house rule at a time!
