028 . “Routine is there to serve you, not you to serve the routine.” Babywise I believe in the power of routines!  It eliminates decision fatigue and power struggles! Believe it or not, young children (and most adults) thrive under routine and consistency. PLUS it gives children a sense of control in their lives when they really have very little. 

Routine also helps young and old minds order the days of the week and activities on each day! An easy way to start is with a simple morning or after school routine: Breakfast and morning family contributions + afternoon family contributions and dinner. Consistency is key!  Don’t deviate on when you can and cannot do things.  For example, if your child asks to get on electronics before school, respond with something like “We save electronics for after school.”

A really helpful phrase is, "As soon as 'x', then 'y'" "As soon as the dishwasher has been unloaded, then you can eat your breakfast."

026  I don't "do it all", however today I peal back the curtain on how I do all that I do.

Holly Homer, a successful business owner of multiple businesses, host of the Quirky Mama blog and FB page (with 3.4 million followers!) and host of the Playing Motherhood Summit, interviews me on today's show!

Key Takeaways:

• My secret to “doing it all”.
• Being organized is skill that can be developed, not necessarily an inate character trait. 
• Apply the same level of intentionality of productivity and systems that you do at to home.
• Start small.  Take one step at a time.
• Once you set a system, you can set it and forget it.
• ROI of setting systems in your home.
• The benefits of systems, like a Breakfast Chart:
• • Eliminates decision fatigue.
  • Empowers you to delegate.
  • Eliminates fighting and power struggles.
  • Gives children ownership.
  • Helps children understand time.

The Playing Motherhood Summit is no longer available, however, I will be airing my actual Playing Motherhood Interview in the next few weeks. I dive deeper into, “Organization – How to Restore Balance in the Home”!

See Less

023 In today's minisode we uncover a simplified and encouraging way to make decisions.  I know sometimes making decisions can really take a toll on me.  I've found this to be SO helpful!

• Acknowledge what you want.
  • If you don't, your desires will come out in a sideways, unhealthy way.
  • It's not selfish to identify your desires.
  • It's selfish to demand your desires.
• It's not about the decision, it's about the growth process in getting to the decision.
  • Montessori says, "It's the process, not the product."
  • I personally believe it's about deepening your trust in Jesus (Romans 8:28)
