In this episode of The Simple Home Podcast, we talk about the theory of Kaizn and how making micro changes can change your life. 

Kaizn, is a theory that originated in the 1940’s. During a time when many factories in America needed to make improvements in order to be successful. Factory owners were encouraged to make small changes for continuous improvement rather than a complete overhaul of the factory. This proved to be incredibly successful and was then taught to the Japanese in order to help their economy bounce back after World War 2. The Japanese named the theory Kaizn, meaning continuous improvement. 

This theory can be applied to our lives as well. It’s not just a powerful strategy for large corporations.

In this episode of The Simple Home Podcast, I talk with Lindsay about positive parenting and how to implement strategies that benefit both the parent and the child.

Having effective strategies to help ease the hardest moments of parenting are invaluable. Lindsay shares her wisdom with us on connecting with our children through discipline that builds relationship. Positive parenting has become somewhat of a buzz word, but before I really started talking with experts in the field, I had a misconception of what it meant. Positive parenting is not passive parenting (which may be the biggest misconception) and it's not a parenting "easy button".  Lindsay provides us with practical strategies to use throughout our parenting journey. Strategies that work and create a positive relationship with our kids while holding firm limits. You are going to love this episode!

In this episode of The Simple Home Podcast, we'll chat about the idea of seasonal minimalism and how it can help us live more intentionally.

I recently read an article that was talking about the idea of living seasonally. I had never really heard this concept before so it got me thinking. The article was talking about how our lives might be simpler if we allowed ourselves to live in the present season. I started thinking about how I can apply this to my life and I came up with this idea of seasonal minimalism or having a minimalist approach to each season that I wanted to share with you. When I talk about seasons here, I mean both the actual season as in time of year and the season of life you're in, such as newly married, raising young kids, raising teenagers, empty nesters, ect.

"Busy isn't a lifestyle, it's a choice." The Minimalists

Do you ever find yourself repeating the same thing over and over when someone asks how you're doing? "It's been busy." "We've just been busy." "It's been a busy few weeks."

It's become a badge of honor to be busy and still act like we've got it altogether. I want to give you permission to choose a different way. To trade busy for intentional. Take things off your plate and organize the things that remain. 

This week on The Simple Home Podcast I talk to Laura from The Mama System to help us do just that. As a mother of 10, she's had to systematize her daily routines and set her priorities. She teaches us how to create the right systems and routines that fit our lifestyles and our families right now. 

You're going to love her life hacks for moms that will get you on the road to feeling less busy!
