ep 186 - Organizing a Big Family with Chanelle Neilson

    (*this episode was recorded pre-COVID, so some of the specific examples cited in the episode  may look different today, however, the guiding principles still apply.)     Hi Friends! Today we are joined by Chanelle Neilson, host and creator of the Moms Who Know Podcast, author of Parenting with Purpose, who’s married to her best friend and mom of 5 adorable kiddos! She loves helping moms take care of themselves and grow so they can take better care of their families. I invited Chanelle to chat with us about what being organized with a big family looks like, her mission for other moms, and how she still manages to carve out guilt free time for herself–an area where many of us struggle. Chanelle talks about her breaking point, and how she learned to absolve herself of the “supermom complex.” Chanelle gives us a front row seat into what life looks like in the following areas:  Meal Prep Laundry Household Chores Chauffeuring Kids to Activities Homework Morning/Bedtime Routines Self-Care  We talk about the importance of establishing boundaries, and setting up routines, not just for the kids, but for herself too! Whether you have 1 kid or 10, no one is immune to feelings of guilt and overwhelm. I hope you find this conversation helpful and inspiring!         xo - Laurie           Connect with Chanelle WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | PODCAST   Other Promo Codes for You! 10% OFF YOUR COLOR GURU WITH CODE “ORGANIZEDLIFE”   Please Support Us!  SUBSCRIBE to TOL to have new episodes downloaded each week!    REVIEW.  Social influence is the most impactful way to help others find our show!  Struggling with Clutter? Click HERE to take our FREE clutter quiz!     Stop feeling like a Hot Mess!  HOT MESS: A Practical Guide to Getting Organized is my witty little survival guide that helps you get to the root of your clutter.
