Making your home easier to manage so you can be free to enjoy your life! Join me and Trisha Childers, our home care expert at Practical Family.

Mama, you are not the only person to contribute to the effort of keeping your home in order. Learn how to Drip Delegate by beginning with the end in mind. Be mindful of expectations and what your kids "should" be able to do. Train kids how the real world works… including the part money and the value of stuff plays into work ethic at home.

Find out why Trisha and I don't buy toys for our kids. Instead, get your kids to ask, "What's my job today?" Find out why natural consequences are the kindest and most effective way to teach our kids including realistic motivations and consequences.
