Welcome!

Welcome to my online home! I hope you find it nice and comfy. A peaceful place where you can learn strategies for keeping up with your home in ways that love our family and our world. My goal is to share with you my routines for decluttering, cleaning, and organizing, and to keep myself accountable to you. I can't recommend cleaning to you without doing it myself! I'll include strategies, books, recipes, and websites to help you find what works for you. We are all created with different personalities, and what works for one doesn't always work for the next.
I want my home to be a peaceful place for my family to be able to rest, relax, and recover from the busyness of the world. A comfortable place where they can be themselves and discover how they are made in God's image. A welcoming place where they can feel free to invite their friends to spend time. A place where others feel at home away from home.
My home is not a model home. It is a lived-in home. I expect there to be things around that show my family is living in it. There are toys in the corner. Snacks on the counter. Papers on the fridge. These are the things that make it homey. I am not here to teach you how to have a spotless home, but rather how to make your home a place that shows your family your love for them.
I look forward to sharing ideas and resources with you, and can't wait to hear what you have to contribute! We'll start with cleaning up and decluttering on Monday, June 29th. Each day will be a small, new, accomplishable goal. Baby steps will get us there!
