Do you dream of an organized, smooth-running household, with happy children cheerfully pitching in to do their part—but then you wake up?
Do you wish you knew simple ways to finally get the laundry under control to have more free time without guilt—while you’re sitting on the clothes piled on the couch?
Maybe you just need help in one or two areas of your home and life management so that you’ll have less headaches and more sense of control.

Starting out as an overwhelmed home manager, eventually I found ways to lighten the load and keep things simple so as to enjoy life beyond housework.
Our house went from piles of clutter, paper and clothes to mostly organized. Mostly means realistic, doable and comfortable, not perfect and sterile and unrealistic.

You can have a tidy, pretty home that is warm and welcoming to your family and friends.
You can discover the shortcuts and no-nonsense practical tips that make running your household easier than ever.

This series gives you instant access to time-saving, step-by-step guides designed specifically for busy moms!
Tidy House, Happy Home (No Perfection Required)
You want a clean home and homey atmosphere, but you live in a regular house without a glamorous kitchen and commercial washing machine.
Maybe you have a tight budget and out of that budget has to come food, homeschooling materials, clothing and shoes.
Out of your time has to come cleaning, meal preparation, grocery shopping, teaching, toddler fingernail clipping and
if you're lucky, some sort of time for you and your husband.
Out of necessity we're all a "Jill of All Trades," so we always look for the quickest road to a result.

Children Doing Chores: A Simple Approach to Making Your Home Harmonious (and Tidy!)
Nothing brings on discouragement and stress quicker than a messy house and feeling like you have to clean it up all alone.
As a busy mom, you’ve got enough to do without being responsible for taking out the trash, mopping the floor and picking up all the clutter.
What’s a tired and overwhelmed mom to do?
Get some help. Easier said than done? You might be surprised.
The help you need is living right under your own roof—your children!
When your children pitch in to help with all the household stuff to do, it lifts a burden from your shoulders so you can breathe again. And believe it or not, it’s good for them.
Six grown children (and six still at home) taught me a thing or two about the attitudes and problems that can come with teaching kids to work around the house.
Twenty-seven years of children doing chores at our house showed me what works (and what doesn’t).
Here’s your chance to put an end to solo housecleaning and get your team of one (or ten) on track to learn valuable life skills while giving you more time and less stress!
