This email is packed with practical ideas you don't want to miss! Hi, friend! People ask me often how I juggle all the things I do and really my secret to getting all the things done is three-fold: 1) I don't do it all myself. 2) I keep things super simple. 3) I have really good systems in place for many areas of our home. Let's talk more about how this actually looks in our home... Secret #1: I don't do it all myself. I am a big believer in teaching your kids to be responsible for helping and contributing from an early age. In fact, I believe it is a gift we can give our kids to help them learn the value of hard work and how to pick up after themselves/take ownership of certain tasks and chores and areas of the home. So our teens are responsible for their rooms, their bathrooms, much of their laundry, some of the dishes and general house maintenance, their cars, and more. (As an aside, they are also 100% responsible for everything related to school and jobs. If they need help with something, they are welcome to ask for help, but I don't oversee or manage any of this part of their life as it's considered their responsibility in our home.) Secret #2: I keep things super simple. This is a big one for me! I currently am super careful what I say yes to since I have three teens, two preschoolers, and a toddler... - I reserve Wednesdays for any business meetings or interviews and say no to almost anything business-related that is a meeting or interview and can't happen on a Wednesday.
- I rarely say yes to any ongoing commitments because I just never know what a week is going to look like.
- We eat super simple meals most of the time and we get takeout once a week for dinner.
- I wear my hair the same way every single day.
- I always wear the same makeup.
- I eat a lot of the same things for breakfast, lunch, and snack.
- I wear the same 5-8 outfits on repeat.
- I don't have a vegetable garden.
- I don't attend any Bible studies right now.
- I usually sign up for super easy things like bringing water bottles or plastic plates, etc. when there are school sign-up opportunities. And on and on it goes. Secret #3: I have really goo systems in place for many areas of our home. I've alluded to some of these above, but these systems save my sanity. For instance: - I order groceries on Thursday and have them delivered on Fridays.
- I only wash my hair once a week (and I wash the three younger kids' hair once a week, too.)
- When the mail gets brought in, I go through it immediately and take care of it.
- Jesse and I work together every night before bed to get everything picked up and set out for the morning so that we wake up and don't need to do much at all to get out the door.
- We try to do a quick house clean up twice a day so that things never get out of hand.
- I bring in anything that doesn't belong in the car when I come in.
- I clean out my purse and the fridge once a week.
- I put laundry away every night.
- We run one load of dishes every day.
- I get up and walk first thing every morning and pray over my day. I then read my Bible and a devotional and a few pages from an encouraging book.
- I write a time-blocked to do list every night before bed.
- I try to always know what's for dinner by 8 a.m. that morning and then pull out anything from the freezer we need. These are just a few examples. So many of these things we've been doing for so long that they just happen without me even really thinking about it. They are on autopilot. And these simple systems keep our home and lives running smoothly and allow me to have breathing room to spend time with my kids, have space for fun and being able to invest in relationships while still taking care of my health and trying to get enough sleep (most nights!)
