Let’s talk about making time to date our spouses!  

The hard-to-swallow truth is that we make time for what matters, and if we want a rom-com-worthy marriage (and I know I do!), than continuing to date your spouse/partner matters!

You’re busy. He’s busy. We’re all trying to figure out how to cram all we can, with just enough downtime to relax with our favorite show.

But regular date night needs to be as routine as brushing your teeth… Because they both keep things from rotting. 

Anything important needs to be prioritized. It’s not about finding time, but making time.

This episode will help:

 Make date night a priority together!
Embrace a regular date night mentality
Find creative childcare solutions at ALL stages of raising kids
Keep it FRESH! Date nights shouldn’t feel stale. We’ll both share how we keep it fun!

How do you feel when your home is clean? You walk in and everything is in its place. There's no secret stash anywhere, no piles that are loading up, the closets can actually close.

It feels amazing.

In today's episode I am bringing back The Organized Mama, Jessica Litman to talk about how we can simplify the process of decluttering our homes. Because something that I firmly believe is that in order to stay organized, you can't have too much stuff! There is a level where I don't care how hard you try, you're not going to be organized until you let some of this go because there's just not enough space.

So jump in with us today as we talk all about getting rid of things, decluttering, and more.

Oh, and if you missed Part One on organizing from last week you can find it here! 
Okay, let's jump in!

This episode will help:

👉 you embrace letting go without the guilt 
👉 you actually honor and use the sentimental items in your home 
👉 you make decisions and clear the clutter fast!
